Investment Information Guide

A rental investment needs a budget beyond the purchase price and weekly rent. Request the latest Ray White Investment Information Guide to help organise ownership costs, records and the questions to take to your accountant or financial adviser.

Look at the whole ownership plan

The guide discusses rental-property expenses and tax-related planning, including the distinction between different types of expenditure. It also considers ownership arrangements, finance and situations where a property has mixed uses. These topics can help you prepare a more useful professional-advice conversation.

General examples are not a tax ruling for your property. The treatment of an expense can depend on its purpose, the work done, ownership and the current rules. Keep invoices and records, and have a qualified adviser assess the facts before relying on a deduction or choosing a structure.

Questions for a Kawakawa or Moerewa investment

  • What rent is supported by comparable properties, and how sensitive is the budget to vacancy?
  • Which work is required before a tenancy can start, and which maintenance will recur?
  • Have insurance, rates, services and management costs been allowed for?
  • Does finance still work if rent is lower or an unexpected repair is needed?
  • What records does your accountant need, and which decisions require advice before purchase?

Our property-management team can discuss the rental evidence, condition and management requirements of a particular home. Your accountant, lender and other advisers address the decisions within their expertise. A gross-yield percentage alone does not show cash flow, tax, finance costs or the return you will receive.
