Investment Guide

A Guide for New Plymouth Property Investors

Owning an investment property involves more than collecting rental income. Rent, property expenses, tax considerations, compliance and ongoing management can all affect the financial performance of your investment.

At Ray White New Plymouth, our Investment Guide provides landlords and property investors with useful information about some of the key financial and management considerations involved in residential property investment.

The guide is based on the current information available in the Ray White Investment Information Guide, including topics such as claimable expenses, Healthy Homes compliance costs, interest deductibility, long-term rentals versus Airbnb, ownership structures and the bright-line property rule.

For Landlords and Property Investors

The guide can be useful if you’re purchasing your first rental property, reviewing an existing investment, or simply wanting to better understand the costs and considerations involved in owning a rental property.

It also highlights where professional advice may be appropriate, particularly for tax, lending and ownership decisions.

What’s Inside the Guide?

The Investment Guide covers key areas including:

• Expenses that may be claimable against rental income
• Property management fees and commissions
• Healthy Homes compliance costs
• Interest deductibility
• Long-term rentals compared with Airbnb
• Investment property ownership structures
• Home office expenses
• The bright-line property rule
• Mixed-use property considerations
• Lending and investment considerations

The guide notes that property management fees and commissions for managing a tenancy can be claimable, subject to the applicable tax rules.

It also explains that all New Zealand rental properties must meet the five Healthy Homes standards covering heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage.
