Plenty of people in New Zealand
have invested in rental property for various reasons. For some it is to fund
their retirement years, for other it is a business which provides their living
while others use rental property as a means to provide for their children's
university education. Whatever your reason for investing in property, you need
to make sure that your investments are safe and that they are fully up-to-date
with tax obligations. If you do not have
properly established ownership vehicles you may be in for a nasty surprise.
There are lots of different ways you can own,
control or manage rental properties but that gives rise to plenty of
opportunities for mistakes that the IRD is increasingly chasing after. It is
essential that you are set up correctly otherwise you could discover that your
investments do not provide enough income for your pension or you are paying too
much tax. So before you sign an agreement with a real estate agent you should
speak to a property accountant about property investing. We are a small
business ourselves, and we specialize in small businesses like rental
properties, sole trader/owner operators, contractors, partnerships and limited
companies staff excluding the owners. The whole taxation system with all its
laws is so vast; no accountant could be an expert in all areas.
Generally speaking, residential
rental property investment is a long term and low risk investment. Gross yields
vary according to the type of property and the affordability of housing in
general. As a rule of thumb a good
residential rental property investment should have a gross yield in excess of
the average floating interest rates. A
property will be cash flow positive before tax if the rent received exceeds
cash expenses including interest, rates, and maintenance and property
management fees.
Rental property investment is a
long term strategy to create financial independence. Being relatively low risk, with regular and
reliable income, and with values and income yields generally inflation proof
property investment is suitable for most retirement plans. While based in
