August issue out soon!
The New Zealand Property Mag is a monthly magazine written specifically
for property investors and homeowners in New Zealand.
 As
our lead story in the August issue of New Zealand Property magazine
points out political policies have played a significant role in party
manifestos. Remember National’s change to market rents in the
1990s and the Property Speculator’s Tax (and its rejection by
Sir Robert Muldoon) of earlier generations. Well don’t hold your
breath for the upcoming 2005 election on property issues.
We went to the parties to sound out their property planks and found
little in the way of new or stimulating policy. The government is standing
on its record with its first-home buyer scheme announced
in the Budget its only major innovation. National’s main new policy
is a home-buyer assistance package which includes a $15,000 suspensory
loan for state house tenants which could be later written off.
One area where the two main parties have differing views is over the
Residential Tenancies Act where Labour is pushing ahead
with its stated review while National is pledging to re-review it in
line with what it sees as an anti-landlord bais.

Fowler.

author of New
Zealand Real Estate Investors' Secrets (How 10 New
Zealanders became millionaires from residential property and how you
can too.) The book has been a best seller with nearly 10,000 copies
now sold in New Zealand. Graeme has also run a 12-month mentoring programme
for people investing in real estate. He currently owns about 55 properties,
and has purchased about 100 properties in the last four years. Some
of the strategies he has used have been buy and hold, quick cash, wraps,
lease options, and on-selling contracts.
