Google Hadar Orkibi and hundreds of web pages appear, most linked to stories and tips on how to invest in property.
The consummate trader, he is driven to succeed and always willing to share great advice based on his considerable experience of using diverse strategies.
Since he came to New Zealand from Israel in 2003 aged 26, the highly motivated creative thinker has been involved in just about every possible kind of property related venture.
When he started out, his goal was to generate enough cash flow to live a relaxed lifestyle and to spend more time with his family.
He now has a considerable portfolio of 13 residential and commercial properties.
Buy and holds pay every day bills, but trading puts the icing on Orkibi’s cake, adding the extra cash required to pay down debt and fund overseas holidays.
“We have family overseas so it’s important for us to see the family and for the kids to remember their roots as well.”
His story begins at the age of 19, when Orkibi joined his oldest brother in his jewellery business where he worked as a goldsmith and diamond assessor.
It was there he learned how to negotiate, a skill which has stood him in good stead on his property journey.
But Israel was a conflicted country during the second intifada – a period of intensified Israeli-Palestinian military violence.
After moving to New Zealand, he began educating himself on all aspects of property.
In 2004 he signed up for a seminar run by Olly Newland in Queenstown. “From there, I was hooked.”
