It’s a part of the state many investors stay away from because they don’t know the market, if you’re from the area and know it well this could be advantage for you!

If you want to work with investors I would invest into cold calling to find deals and then sell them off market to investors.

What ever I can about the real estate market in NZ to be able to understand advavntages, disadvantages, know where to find information and so on.

That seems pretty low, though I don't know the market.

I tried using the Rently boxes twice, just didn't seem to work in my market.

I have owned a SFR in Jackson for about a year and a half and have been trying to understand the market.          

A client whom wanted to sell her home but was under water due to needed repairs vs current market condition How did you finance this deal?

@Jimmy RojasReturns in real estate have historically matched the stock market - so use that as a reference pointJust like investing in some stocks builds wealth faster - so does real estate and vice versa

The seller sets the price higher than market price and between the down payment and any monthly principle payments the price eventually gets down to market price by the time the tenant could potentially buy the house.

But you have to be a good salesman, you have to do your market research, financing research, and also build yourself a pipeline into the opportunity of whichever market is chosen.I have a Canadian client who runs things that way.
