INSIGHT

High Buying Power From Strong Income

  • A $300,000 income with a $1,000,000 deposit gives roughly $2.8M buying power under DTI limits.
  • That amount can buy a very high-end Christchurch house instead of investing elsewhere.
INSIGHT

Rental Income Multiplies Lending Capacity

  • Renting while investing can unlock far more leverage because rental income counts toward lending.
  • Combining personal income plus rental income multiplied by seven can produce ~ $4–4.2M purchasing power.
ADVICE

Choose A Sensible Middle Path

  • Choose a middle path between extremes: avoid maxing owner-occupier borrowing or buying every possible investment immediately.
  • Use cash for a sensible home and borrow strategically for a planned number of investments.
