We are still noobs at investing, but we're learning the ropes fairly quickly lol.  

I know this doesn't necessarily answer your question but I hope it provides a guide in the right direction for you.

Greg: thank you for your quick response.

BP,I got a quick question regarding cash buyers. 

Hello everyone, my name is Charles and I am new to BP and am looking to get started in real estate investing as quickly as possible.  

I am not a contractor but I am capable of learning things quickly.

I am new to this site, and would like advice on the best way to quickly sell a high end home, as well as an adjoining parcel of land.  

Tell them you will pay them cash for a quick close.When you do all that, then contact a local RE Agent to give you a list of all the houses in that neighborhood that have sold in the last 5 years with all cash.

I have noticed whilst reading some of the articles and guides on here that some of the situations and examples don't really fit how New Zealand works, however I still don't know a whole lot about how New Zealand works either.

It works well here in MA because the laws are so tenant-friendly that many landlords get very frustrated and burn out fairly quickly.
