Getting down to business
The results of the annual ANZ Residential Property Investment survey are in and they show that property investors are an increasingly business-like bunch.

Now in its fifth year, the survey asked 1,150 landlords questions on their property investments, their strategies, their portfolio size, their future expectations of the market, and the impact of regulatory changes.
And it seems that landlords are not deterred by the limits put on high LVR lending in the Auckland region.
The survey results also suggest that whisperings of a sudden market crash – due to the impact on investors of the recent tax and LVR changes – may be unfounded.
Eighty-four percent of survey participants said the new LVR limits have not led them to make any changes to their investment strategy this year.
Further, if the limits were reduced or removed, most investors felt this would have no impact on them during the six months following the change (78%) or thereafter (68%).
However, the survey results do show there are signs the number of regulatory changes implemented in recent months have unsettled investors.
