Thinking of investing in property but feeling lost? Maybe you got a 'no' from your bank.
No worries. We can help you get ready to buy your next investment property.
Picture this: you think you're on the path to financial freedom. But the bank stops you in your tracks. Ouch. What do you do now?
A lot of us think investing in property is the answer. But getting that loan? Not always easy.
Yet, things will get better. The bank will usually let you borrow more over time. That's because your house value might go up, you might get a pay rise, and you'll slowly pay off your mortgage.
So, if today's answer is 'no', maybe in 6 years it'll be 'yes'. But who wants to wait that long? What if there's a faster way? Like, making it happen in a year or two?
That's what you can do with Investment Ready.
We want to help you grow an investment portfolio. So we'll find out what's stopping you from getting a mortgage. Then we'll create a plan to help you fix it.
These 4 steps are expanded out to an 8-step journey to get you investment-ready. We'll walk you through each step.
01
To invest in property, you need to know how much money you’ll need. And that is determined by the strategy you choose. In New Zealand, there are two strategies that most property investors tend to use – The Passive Buy and Hold and the BRRRR.
02
Mortgage plays aim to speed the process up. That means you can buy your first or next investment property more quickly. To choose the right mortgage plays for you, you need to know what’s holding you back – equity, income (servicing), or both.
03
Every 3 months, you need to meet with your mortgage adviser to ensure you’re on track for your goals, that you’ve done what you needed to over the last 90 days, and then set new 90 day goals.
04
As you get closer, eventually, your mortgage adviser will say, “I think you are ready.” You get your mortgage application to the bank, get the “yes,” and start to invest in property.

Here’s the best part: it's $0. Yup, free.
Why is it free? We want to help all Kiwis become investors. If we help you to get in the position to invest, maybe you'll use us to get your mortgage.
You might be thinking this ...
I get it, lots of people think that.
Some people think a mortgage adviser's job is to get the lowest interest rate.
But today? Whether you have an adviser or go solo, you're probably looking at the same rates.
The real benefit of a mortgage adviser is that they can help you set up your mortgage to either pay it off faster, save on interest, or get ready to borrow more money.
She stuck with me for over a year
I can’t thank Anna enough. She went over and above to get me into my first home. She stuck with me for over a year and guided me through what I needed to do, to get where I needed to be. 10/10 service and communication. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to buy a property. She’s really passionate about her job and really cares for her clients
