If you’re a landlord or property investor in Hamilton, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is who manages your rental property. The right property manager can protect your investment, keep tenants happy, and save you time and stress. The wrong one? That can mean higher vacancy, more arrears, and costly mistakes.
Becoming a landlord can happen in two ways — either you’ve set out deliberately to build a property investment portfolio, or you’ve “accidentally” ended up with a rental property after moving house or inheriting one. Either way, the moment you start collecting rent, the IRD sees you as a business — and that means tax obligations.
The Tenancy Tribunal's Annual Report, published in July 2025, highlights just how much pressure New Zealand’s rental market is under - and Hamilton landlords are right in the middle of it.
ANZ has shaken up the market by offering up to 10 years of interest-only repayments for eligible residential investment loans. Here’s how it works - and why it matters for the Hamilton property investment market.
Being a landlord in Hamilton isn’t just about collecting rent - it’s about understanding and following the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA). And while most landlords want to do the right thing, the law is detailed, ever-changing, and easy to get wrong unintentionally.
In a clear shift of strategy, residential property investors are rushing into 1-year fixed mortgages - and the numbers back it up.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced a 50 basis point cut to the Official Cash Rate (OCR) today—a move that surprised no one. However, the real buzz began when the accompanying statement was released, prompting a scramble to analyse the key data in the 58-page document.
Recent data from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) highlights a growing preference for short-term fixed-rate loans, reflecting confidence in lower borrowing costs ahead. In October, 82% of investors had loans due to mature within the next 12 months—up from 68% a year earlier and 63% in October 2022.
I fixed one of my home loans this week and had to decide between these two options. Fix today for 6-months (and then fix again for 6-months in 6 months’ time), or just fix for 1 year. Which option will work out cheaper?
Property investors are increasingly favouring short-term fixes, reflecting growing anticipation of official cash rate (OCR) cuts, according to the latest lending data from the Reserve Bank.
