How to Make Smart Choices in Property Investment
Investing in property doesn’t have to be complicated.
In fact, it’s based on a few simple principles that, when followed, can deliver steady returns over time.
At its core, buying a great investment property is similar to buying a home—except for one key difference.
As an investor, you need to take a business-first approach, setting emotions aside and focusing on the numbers.
The goal? A solid rental income and strong capital growth.
To achieve that, look for a property that’s affordable, appealing, and in a great location. Tenants today aren’t just renting a home—they’re choosing a lifestyle. That’s why proximity to public transport, shops, restaurants, parks, and schools is a major plus.
If you’re considering a new build or off-the-plan investment, depreciation is another important factor to keep in mind.
And before you dive in, it’s essential to define your investment goals and work with a financial advisor to create a clear strategy.
And remember, property investment is like a fine wine—the longer you nurture it, the better the rewards.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
