How to match first-home buyers with everyday investors
What do you think of the new online NZ platform Levridge aiming to match first-home buyers with everyday investors? Those with money to invest, put up a 20 percent deposit and those who have an income, but don't have enough to pay a deposit, take on the mortgage and live in the house.
After five years, the house can be sold and the two parties split the capital gains 50/50. Amy Wilkes is director of online house-buying platform Levridge.

FOR INVESTORS
