A great property and a great investment aren't the same thing. 🏡💰

It’s easy to get excited scrolling through property listings and picturing the possibilities, especially if you’re a first-time property investor.

But liking a property is one thing.

Knowing whether it's a good property investment that makes financial sense for you is just as important.

Thinking about your first (or next) investment property in NZ?

Have a chat with a mortgage adviser early, so you know what actually works for your situation before you start looking.

Choosing the right KiwiSaver fund isn’t just about which is doing best.

It’s easy to wonder if you’re missing out when another KiwiSaver fund seems to be doing better.

But the right choice means looking beyond short-term results and considering what makes sense for you, both now and in the years ahead.

As our financial adviser Jose George shares with GoalsGetter, it comes down to:

❓What are you investing for?
❓When will you need the money?
❓How much risk are you comfortable taking?

Because the right fund should be able to fit your goals, timeframe and comfort with risk.

Can you really buy your first home with just your KiwiSaver? 🤔

It’s a question many first home buyers ask, especially when your KiwiSaver balance starts to look like a possible deposit.

For plenty of Kiwi buyers, KiwiSaver can play a big part in buying a first home, particularly with less than a 20% deposit.

But it doesn’t always cover everything you’ll need to get across the line.

Rani Nalam Rani Nalam - Financial Adviser and Jose George chat through why having extra savings outside of KiwiSaver can make a difference. 🎥
