    Hi Nigel

    You said:
    Remember it is possible to oversupply an area with investment properties.

    Interesting comment.

    For there to be an oversupply of investment properties can arise when
    1. the live-in owners sell to an investor and leave the district.
    2. prospective tenants leave the district.
    3. prospective tenants decide to move in with…[Read more]

    Hi Rob and Jo

    Have you done a search on http://www.propertytalk.co.nz as Tokoroa comes up reasonably frequently.

    Location often dictates as to how fast a house rents out for.

    Some streets are very slow to rent in. eg Marr Pl and other areas have waiting lists eg the Wai area or the North area.

    For average rents in Tokoroa try this…[Read more]

    Hi Min

    Well said.[baaa]

    It is happening on all property forums where newbies come on and ask the same questions and wanting instant answers.

    It took me nearly 12 months of research and self educating before I bought my first IP.

    Hi bruham

    As someone said in another thread a 20% gross yield in the USA is the same as a 10% gross yield in NZ because of a different tax system in the States.

    And the 10% deals are still to be found in NZ.

    does Muppet also get one for promoting your service or is he a friend

    No I don’t get a commission. I have no desire to invest in the USA. I am watching with amusement the amount of interest being shown in the American market.

    However I have met Westan and respect his integrity in the services that he offers. Many Australians…[Read more]

    Hi Del

    Matata, a little township of about 300, 24kms north along the coast from Whakatane was very severely hit by mudslides and floodwater today.

    I think just about the whole town has been evacuated.

    Flooding also in Edgecumbe which was hit last year as well.

    Tauranga had a couple of days of very heavy rain. Several houses built too close to…[Read more]

    Hi Guys

    Location rules supreme in Tokoroa.

    Our tenants left one day and new ones were signed up next day at an increased rental of $25 per week.

    Heard tell that there is a vacancy rate of between 130-150 properties. Harvey’s is the only agency who is posting their list in the window.

    Don’t know exactly why the vacancy rate appears to be so…[Read more]

    I *finally* got to contract a great yielding property in a suburb of a town expected to double in population within 2 years. (yes I have that in writing, but it is not yet published yet – but it will be!)

    Wouldn’t be in the North Island would it Min?

    Somewhere north of Taihape?

    Hi Guys

    I am not selling any of my rentals. I am in for the long haul. Tokoroa is a very nice town and very central to much of the North Island.

    The house next to one of our rentals was for sale for two weeks and sold for about $93k. We have just relet ours for $180/wk. The owner is renting his own house for $170/wk until he finds what he wants.…[Read more]

    Hi Guys

    Had a chat with my favourite property manager Kathy at Harveys tonight./

    Said she has let 12 houses in the last 2 days.

    She let our house within 24 hours of us listing it with her and with a $25 per week increase in rent from $155 to %180 per week.
    This shows that location is extremely important in Tokoroa.

    Hi Guys

    Now living in Tokoroa, central North Island, New Zealand.
    Am now mowing a few lawns for some of the Aussies who have bought up much of the town and cleaning houses when the tenants have done a runner.

  • muppet replied to the topic How much? in the forum Overseas Deals 19 years ago

    Hi Beno

    Council rates vary around the country and on the value of the land.

    We pay approx $1200 in South Auckland and Napier.
    In Tokoroa about $1100 per property.
    However in Taumarunui or Te Kuiti rates are about $1600.

    If you have lakeside in Taupo then your rates are between $3000 and $4000 per annum.

    Regards
