STEPHEN SAYS

16th January '10

With a New Year comes planning our goals for the next 12 months and most of us include financial wealth near top of the list.  All of us are weary of financial risk and with good reason after the collapse of many financial institutions and the volatility of shares and international money markets.  The residential property market is again back at pre-recession prices and all indications are further increases in values as our population increases beyond supply of housing.  It looks likely that the Reserve Bank will push interest rates up slightly halfway through next year but this will be a balancing act between the effect on exporters and NZ households.  There is no doubt that investment in the right type of residential property will continue to strengthen regardless of the small tinkering that the government makes with tax and interest rates.  Our investment property options are designed to take away any hassle and stress that can come with owning property with all of our options under genuine guaranteed rent programmes.  This will include a limited supply of new homes that will be under a 10 year rent guarantee plus 5 years right of renewal which is ideal for investors that are risk adverse.  All of our investment homes come with comprehensive property management which means that you can rest easy knowing that the property is being looked after for you.  I am working over the holiday period so give me a call on 027 524 5002 if you would like to learn more.
