The first step is getting a real estate agent who can help you find a property that fits your criteria, in the area you want and for the right price. Remember, the numbers need to stack up when you’re buying an investment property. You may already have an agent in mind, but if not, you can call your nearest Professionals office and they will put you in touch with the right person.
Speak to the bank and make sure you know how much money you have for a deposit, how much you can afford to borrow and if you have funds for any renovations that might be required. You need to have a clear understanding of the overall costs involved so there are no surprises.
Understanding current market conditions are essential to making a wise purchase. Is now a good time to buy, or should you wait? Our agents are experts in their areas and can offer a wealth of market information.
We can help you find the property that provides all of your non-negotiables and hopefully a few extras. Then, we’ll guide you through the purchase and settlement process. You’ll also need to take legal advice. Once your payment has been confirmed, you can pick up the keys to your new property!
We’re here to help you every step of the way when buying your next investment property.
Professionals are New Zealand’s largest and most successful association of independent local agents. To achieve this, we combine a commitment to service with cutting-edge technology to ensure we get the best results for you.
