From what I have gathered, the current owners aren't managing the property well and that's why the rents are so low (they done speak English so its hard to communicate). 

Hope you can understand my poor English lol.Sean

A rowhouse with an english basement could also be a good option.

Supposedly, people could rent rooms in their primary residence or rent out their English basements.

@Hadar Orkibi Other than that you have very high taxes, compared to the USA, and your frequent earthquakes, (which doesn't bother me) NZ is highly educated, very modern, english speaking with a good economy and 1,000 miles from anywhere.

If they were able to swallow their pride and actually DID take hand-outs, then clearly they didn't have too much pride, now did they...I realize the English language is complex, but hopefully you can figure it out...

If you are going to learn via academic setting remember to get friends who speak it (there are language schools for people who want to learn English, volunteer there and it's free conversation instruction).

It is important to me to self manage the houses and the areas that a white, red head,women with no foreign skills other than english and german are hard to find multi-plex.

I am also in college and for my advance English class I am writing a paper on real estate investing.
