Hi

In the past month I have attended a Property Investors Association meeting, a weekend seminar for property investors, an online webinar for improving sales and productivity and another webinar about property strategies.

The most consistent message seems to be that there is a lot of activity in the property market right now and some stunning investment opportunities are available if you do your due diligence. There are a comparable number of residential properties for sale as late 2007, yet far fewer buyers. This means there are opportunities galore for savvy investors who are cashed-up and who structured well to weather the downturn.

In the April issue we have a special report on where the next investment hot spots in Auckland are and why. Plus we provide useful tips on what to do if your rental has had illegal renovations completed.
The April issue will be on sale Thursday April 1.

What's coming up?
In the May issue we investigate where to find cash flow positive properties and give you the top locations you should be considering for rental yields. Sneak peek: If your business is in Dunedin, Hastings, Rotorua or Manukau, this feature could provide you a platform to leverage your business and gain more clients. Call me today for more information as availability is strictly limited.

We also look at a relatively unused investment strategy but one which is currently gaining traction. Joint ventures are becoming more favourable, especially with mortgage brokers trying to put clients together to enable a sale. Bank lending has not eased much yet and affordability is still an issue resulting in many new investors finding it hard to get into the property market. We investigate how a joint venture could benefit investors and what to look out for.
If you know an investor who may be willing to share their story on their joint venture experience, please contact me on 0274 303023.

Commercial 101 will look at understanding tax implications for commercial property and how to maximise your returns. We also continue our Debt diaries series, helping landlords find alternative ways to prevent and recover rental arrears.

To round out, Tauranga comes under the microscope in our regional review. At a recent Tauranga PIA meeting I discovered that rental yields are steady-to-increasing and residential sales are buoyant around the $400,000 price bracket. Raising rents also appears to present no problem in this region. With the country's lowest unemployment rate and migrants flocking to this stunning location we ask the local experts for their take on the market.

To advertise within these features or to get more information about how you can use the NZ Property Investor to talk to a nationwide audience of property investors, please contact me either by email (sales@propertyinvestor.co.nz) or call 0274 303023.
