How property traders made millions flipping homes: Inside 71 Auckland real estate deals
A Herald analysis goes inside $60 million of sales by one of NZ’s biggest property traders to reveal the buy and sell prices from each of the 71 deals and the traders’ investment philosophy.
…I truly detest real estate agents and property managers.
I find them to be parasites.
The deal between the State and the Private Landlords is that the State will never build enough public housing to alleviate the pressure in the rental markets while receiving a $2billion dollar per year housing subsidy.
Speculators who drive up prices while benefitting from a political agreement with the State to keep the most vulnerable constantly desperate should be vilified, they certainly shouldn’t feel confident enough to boost in newspaper articles.
Selling each other houses isn’t prosperity, it’s a pyramid scheme.
Militant Renters should take to their communities at night and let those real estate signs pimping house sales in their neighbourhood know how the local renters feel with creative graffiti.
Or just smash the signs down, I’m comfortable with either or.
This Government is waging a war on renters, it’s time Landlords saw providing a fellow citizen a home is an obligation in egalitarian NZ, not a profit making operation.
There are many, many, many excellent landlords who see their responsibilities with a tenant as a sacred duty to a fellow citizen, but there are also many venal slumlords who profit off desperation.
We talk about houses a lot in NZ, we rarely mention homes.
We have allowed the Free Market to make houses commodities, not necessities.
The NZ Herald’s most profitable arm is its property speculation porn so they will promote real estate agents and property managers as aspirational and glorified.
They are parasites that rob the next generation of the dream of home ownership.
They take from today what tomorrow never brings.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
” This Government is waging a war on renters, it’s time Landlords saw providing a fellow citizen a home is an obligation in egalitarian NZ, not a profit-making operation ”
Bomber neo liberal supporters and those who profit have no obligations other than their own financial interest.
Egalitarian New Zealand has been replaced with by Kiwis who support and vote for the neo liberal parties in parliament and their agenda’s.
A nationwide hikoi and protest aimed at MP’s who support what Van Velden has just done to working women and seriously threaten this governments support would give me hope there is still some fight left.
I want to be wrong but the evidence says otherwise.
The property capital gains speculator is a vile affliction on our society. Its houses as a casino get rich abortion rather than houses for families especially first home buyers. Luxon ” I’m sorted ” F you if you’re not sorted shows how far down the plug hole NZ society has gone.
What does the typical property speculator look like? It’s white, bloated with a bald head to facilitate burrowing in to its financial prey! Once satiated it belches: : “I’m sorted!” Also no redistribution but more growth of prey to feed on.
