- Struggling with cashflow on your investment property? You’re not alone. So Ed and Andrew put together 10 options, ranked from about $1,000 a year to nearly $13,000.
In this episode, they walk through the property, loan and income moves that can free up cashflow for NZ investors.
You’ll learn:
Which loan changes make the biggest difference to your weekly cashflow
What you give up when you go interest-only or stretch your loan term
Why you can’t do all 10 at once (and how to pick the right one for you)
The lesson? Not every option will be available to you. But one or two probably are.

So what does it actually mean for property investors, and which policies are likely to survive the coalition talks?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew give their unfiltered, morning-after take on the result.
You’ll learn:
Our initial raw reaction to the election result
What it means for property investors
The policies most likely to come in once a coalition is formed
The takeaway? Based on these provisional numbers, most of the controversial property policies are unlikely to make it. For once, investors may be in for three years of status quo.

You’ll learn:
Why you couldn’t “see” property risk before homes.co.nz and banking apps
The 3 risks everyone ignores
How to stop them wiping out your wealth
The takeaway? Property isn’t risk-free ... it never was. The job is understanding exactly what you’re taking on.

TikTok - Nicki went looking for a shed to store her vehicles. It came attached to a three-bedroom house and a one-bedroom flat. And just like that, she was a landlord.
In this Case Study Sunday, Nicki shares how she built, split, and rebuilt a portfolio ... and what it taught her.
You’ll learn:
How she became a multi-tenancy landlord by accident on day one
What it takes to keep investing even after a separation
How your property portfolio should change over the decades
The lesson? Property isn’t one strategy for life. How you invest young, mid-life and near retirement should look completely different ... and that’s the point.
