Industrial property investment
Buying industrial property has a number of benefits including, usually low vacancy levels, high earning potential and it's often more affordable than residential property. However, there are also risks, which potential investors need to be aware of. Attracting good, long-term tenants is vital. Look for properties that tick all the boxes for tenants, such as a good location, close to customers and local amenities, a thriving local economy and plans for development in the area. Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Tauranga are often considered the country's best locations for investment because of their size and the number of industries operating within them.
The Auckland advantage
As Auckland has the country's biggest population and makes up 37 per cent of our economy, it has obvious advantages for industrial investment. However, due to these factors, it will also cost you more to invest there. Weigh up your goals and determine whether buying in Auckland is the right choice for you or if somewhere else might provide the same results you're looking for.
