How Competition Affects Property Investors | Ep. 42
The economics of competition in business is a well-documented area and has sparked plenty of interest over the years.
Have you ever played the game 'Monopoly'?
If so, you would have had a brief insight into the world of competition in business. For example, if one person owns all the properties, they rule the game and have a monopoly over their other players, but if ownership is spread across the players, the game is much more competitive.
This concept is scattered throughout the economy and is the foundation of price control amongst many businesses.

For most people, the reason they invest is to prepare themselves for a fruitful retirement. And as you might imagine, this is easier said than done. The sentiment is right.

The Deposit Dilemma | Ep. 38
Have you ever wondered where your deposit actually goes when you purchase a property off the plans? It is a question we get asked a lot and it's one that is often misunderstood by purchasers.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of where your deposit goes, it's important to understand what a deposit is. A deposit is essentially a down payment you make to secure the property you intend to purchase.

The OCR Explained - How Does It Affect You as a Property Investor? | Ep. 36
If you have been following the news recently then you would have heard lots of mentions of the Official Cash Rate, or the OCR as it's commonly referred to.
The OCR is a very important piece of the financial landscape in New Zealand, but do you know what it is and how it affects you as a property investor?
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) defines the OCR as "the interest rate set by the Monetary Policy Committee". This is a fancy way of saying that the OCR is a policy that the RBNZ uses to influence the price of borrowing and saving money in New Zealand.
