Investing in Property

#Post

I am looking to capitalize on rental increases in the next few years and buy a dozen new builds. I plan to keep them 5 years and claim interest as an expense. I see this as an opportunity to get rentals with little maintenance required. I am not seeing competition from existing investors there trying to cover tax without interest as an expense. I don't see competition from first home buyers there cap for grants didn't increase enough to get them anything but the very cheapest still. Am I missing anything with the new rule changes.

Has Robertson been definitive about the rules for new builds or is it just another lie? You pays your money, and you takes your chances.

They haven’t confirmed the details re the new builds yet, but if they proceed as indicated then there will be a lot of investors purchasing new builds I’d imagine. I guess first home owners will need to return to tradition and get themselves a crusty old do-up to start with instead. In my area theyve been buying new because housing is so cheap, but investors will put paid to that fairly quickly.

I think there are just too many ways for this to backfire on the government. The housing crisis is only caused in part by greedy investors. The solution is to increase housing stock, reduce house prices (which labour have admitted they have no intention of doing), or reduce migrant numbers. Given how busy our quarantine hotels are it doesn’t look as though that is happening either.

ash4561, you are on the right track with your thinking, eventually investors will do the same, at the moment with land shortages the older houses have been a great investment because land squeeze is one of the main factors as well as people number that have been driving the house prices, so this new legislation will slow down the older more established type quick investing and capital gain, the newer houses will not get that quick capital gain, rather slower with the tax deductibility helping to off set the cost. Go forth.

You need to blame the people who wrote the rules of the game (government, the banking system) before you take potshots at those trying to play it.

if you've got money get in and build and flick, instead of grab and hold.

I am now looking at building but the government is unsure what a new build is at the moment.
Can anyone help them with this?
I think they should be brand new not relocatable unless its a new build relocatable or else all the houses will just switch places.
How long will they be exempt for?
I think the answer should be till the next owner.
I am not sure who would believe for ever.
I might send a letter to Jacinda to help them out.

Best written in crayon. She might give you a too definitive answer though.

At least you will get an answer, write it with your “other hand “ so you don’t look like an adult trying to write like a child...
Works a treat,
