I've found numerous sources (settled.govt.bz, real estate authority,...

Hi. I have a couple of properties which is enough for me as getting older. I tell my kids they must get into property, not just for a home but as an investment. But with the tax deduction rules changing, it really turns a place quickly into negative gearing. What would you be suggesting to your 20 year...

Hi All,

How do you work out if buying a property is cheaper than renting?

is it just the rent vs interest repayments as of today?

or do you need to factor in possible increases in interest rate and rent over next 2 -5 years?

should you include rates...

I have heard depreciation on commercial buildings is back again!
Great news ... looking forward to the details.
