Recently we have been asked by some clients that whether investing in commercial property is a good idea. The new policies announced by the government and banks are not in favour of residential property investors, such as the bright-line rule, interest deductibility rule, and the LVR rule. It tends to make the commercial sector more attractive because they are exempt from these rules, and also, the residential properties are getting much more expensive than before. So, if you have a limited budget, investing in commercial properties might be a good choice.

Topics Covered:
1. The benefits of commercial property 02:02
2. The downsides of commercial property 09:29

We list the top seven reasons why it is still worth investing in property in New Zealand under the current economic conditions.
In March 2021, the New Zealand government announced new housing policy changes targeted at relieving pressure on the overheated market, tipping the balance away from speculators and back towards first-home buyers and long-term investors.
As a result, we noticed a growing number of people interested in buying first home, upgrading family home, or developing properties. The new housing rules spook many investors, and they are doubting if it is still worth investing in property now.

Topics Covered:
1. Why you have to invest? - 00:44
2. Top 7 benefits of investing in properties - 03:32
3. Is now still a good time to invest in property in New Zealand? - 09:23
