Talking Property Development with John Kenel

I'll admit it - I've been carrying anger towards New Zealand for years. It started with the lockdowns, the mandates, the way families were separated and businesses crushed while costs kept ticking. That resentment started bleeding into everything.

 

But carrying anger like that is toxic. It wears you down and narrows your view. So I made a conscious choice to let it go.

 

Once I stepped back, I saw what I'd been missing - New Zealand is actually a fantastic place to live. The space, the nature, the simple day-to-day living that people in big cities can only dream of. Most Kiwis are good people just trying to get on with life.

 

This country is worth fighting for. I'd rather stay and do my bit than walk away angry.

We've already seen this playbook in New Zealand. Vaccine passes turned your rights into permissions overnight... No jab, no job, no cafe, no life. That technology didn't disappear. It's still there, updating every six months, waiting for the next 'emergency.'

 

Now they're pushing digital ID as convenience. Faster logins, easier renewals, all your life in one app. But when everything's connected to one system the government controls, convenience becomes control.

 

In this video, I break down what's really coming... Digital ID linked to your money, your property, your movements. How central bank digital currencies will let them decide what you can buy and where you can spend. And why 'nothing to hide' isn't good enough when the rules keep changing.

 

Digital tools are useful. Digital obedience is deadly. Stay awake while you still can.

I've been a hard asset guy for 30 years, property, productive businesses, real stuff you can't print. Over the last few years, I've been telling anyone who'd listen to look at gold and silver. Now everyone's paying attention.

 

Gold's up 70% this year, silver's up 150%. That's on top of strong gains last year. Something's definitely happening, but is it hype or something real?

 

In this video, I break down what's actually driving these moves, plus, the smart way to get exposure without going crazy or falling for tinfoil hat stories.

 

Stay calm, have a plan, and own real things. That's the game.

If you're waiting for house prices to crash or interest rates to fall further, you might have already missed the boat. While everyone was waiting for perfect conditions, something big quietly happened in New Zealand that most people didn't even notice.

 

I've been through three decades of property cycles, and it's always the same story. The best opportunities show up when things still feel uncomfortable.

 

In this video, I break down what actually shifted in 2025, what I'm seeing right now, and how I think things play out from here. Plus, a hard lesson I learned about putting all your eggs in one basket.

 

The smart money has quietly started moving.
