We're considering duel AU/NZ citizenship, haven't researched pension options yet as we're in our early 40's, but plan to retire from full time...
Location to the beach is best play if you're handy, seems like a no brainer without knowing the details. I'm a big believer that land is the...
I'm in the same boat. We plan to hold the properties as passive income once we retire in 7-10 years, and spend the winters here and summers in NZ.
@ Would there be tax implications if you were to hold the properties as rentals and return to NZ?
I took on the tenancy with 7 months remaining when I purchased the property in May 2021, and extended it for another 12 months from Dec 2021...
Yes we're amending that, adding sliding doors, French doors also.
UPDATE: I've stripped out the interior and 90% of the covered patio area ready for the builder (when I lock one in for this reno, no luck so far)...
No need to into the roof cavity, everything I did was from the top.
I've got this problem with our asbestos roof. My solution was to get up and inspect the roof, add flashing any problem areas, change rusted...

Good question. To be honest I'm on the fence about this reno, but it needs more than a cosmetic makeover before I'd let tennants back in. It's in...
I hear you, I'm adamant I don't want to spend too much as it's only an IP, but it does need a decent living space as the current lounge space is...
I like where your going with this thanks for the feedback. I've jumped ahead of myself, best check the load bearing walls first as I can't stretch...
Yes I hear you, ideally I'd move the kitchen/lounge/dining to the rear for outdoor flow to the patio area. Only thing scrapping that plan is my...
Some good feedback here, that laundry/barhroom/ensuite ideas are definitely doable. And will scrap the WIR to make the room bigger.
Not sure yet but it won't be big, maybe 3x4m plus WIR and the small ensuite. Tennents move out in a couple weeks so I haven't got accurate...
Hi all, About to start a full gut and reno of my 1950s built IP in the beachside suburb of Clontarf, North Brisbane. It's a 4 bd, 1 bath, bouble...
