In this episode, we're diving into the latest and most significant news for the New Zealand property market. The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) has just revealed that its tax investigations into property investors and developers are paying off—BIG TIME! 💰

We break down the shocking numbers from a recent Business Desk article, including a staggering $228 million in undeclared income discovered in just one financial year. This is a massive 46% increase from the previous year, all thanks to new government funding for tax compliance efforts.

What You'll Learn:

• The IRD’s New Strategy: We reveal where the IRD is focusing its efforts and getting the biggest returns.
• Who’s Being Targeted? Find out why developers, flippers, and those with GST issues are the main targets, with an average tax bill per case in the hundreds of thousands.
• Brightline & Rental Property Owners: We look at how the Brightline test is catching speculators and how undeclared income from rental properties, while smaller per case, still adds up to millions.
• Your Wake-Up Call: This isn't about tax evasion; it’s about getting your house in order. We share expert advice on why you need a proactive approach with a qualified property accountant.
• Essential Advice for Investors: Learn how to stress-test your portfolio, manage cash flow anxiety, and build a resilient property business that can weather any storm.
• Don't wait for the IRD to contact you. This is a zero-tolerance environment, and staying compliant is your best strategy.

Will New Zealand’s economy really outperform Australia over the next few years? And what does this mean for property investors and first-home buyers?

In this episode, Paul from Property Apprentice breaks down:
Why Westpac expects NZ to outpace Australia economically
How OCR cuts and affordability improvements are creating a unique buying window
Why Sydney’s $1.7M median price makes NZ property look affordable
What the next 6–12 months could mean for buyers, investors, and upgraders
Why NOW is the time to plan before the market heats up again

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has already dropped the OCR by 250 basis points, with more cuts likely before year-end. Meanwhile, housing affordability has improved significantly—from 57% to 44% of median household income. But this window won’t last as demand from buyers and investors picks up.

If you’ve been waiting to make a move in property, now is the time to get advice and prepare.

📌 Don’t wait until rates drop further—by then, the competition will be back in full swing!
