Renting Or Buying A House In New Zealand - Which Is Best?
In this video we take a deep dive into some real-life numbers and compare the pros and cons of renting versus buying an average house in New Zealand. If you can save enough for a deposit to purchase a house (or even if you don't) we compare 2 options in this scenario - either purchasing a property or renting and investing the deposit for investment gains. We'll show you what the final numbers come out as based on our personal last 20 years of data. The results may surprise you!
