AI summary
Buying an investment property in NZ typically requires a 30% deposit due to Reserve Bank LVR restrictions. However, there are ways to purchase with a smaller deposit.
Consider these options:
- Buy a new build, which often only requires a 20% deposit.
- Use home equity from your existing property.
- Explore non-bank lenders who are not bound by LVR rules.
Engaging a mortgage broker can help you navigate these pathways and find the best lending solution for your situation.
