AI summary
Buying an investment property in New Zealand typically requires a 30% deposit due to Reserve Bank LVR restrictions.
However, several strategies can help you buy with a smaller deposit:
- New builds often only require a 20% deposit.
- Use the 'usable equity' from your own home to fund the purchase.
- Consider non-bank lenders, who are not subject to LVR rules.
Consulting a mortgage broker is a great step to explore these options and navigate the lending landscape effectively.
