Rental Portfolio

I own and manage a portfolio of nine residential rental properties across the North Island New Zealand, professionally overseen by property managers. These include:

• 3 properties in Hamilton
• 3 properties in Rotorua
• 1 property in Auckland
• 1 property in Wellington,
• 1 property in New Plymouth

The portfolio comprises a mix of townhouses and standalone homes, ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms. Each property has been renovated beyond the Healthy Homes standards, ensuring warm, comfortable, and high-quality living environments for tenants.

My focus is on long-term value creation, tenant satisfaction, and maintaining high standards of presentation and compliance.

Development

This award-nominated development involved the transformation of a 1960s property on a large 1,045 m² section into a high-performing, triple-dwelling investment. The project included:

• Relocating and renovating the original house to create a modern, insulated, open-plan home with upgraded internal laundry, rewiring, and full Healthy Homes compliance.
• Designing and building two new dwellings with Classic Builders, incorporating robust materials, heat pump dryers, thermal curtains, and moisture control features to exceed Healthy Homes standards.
• Navigating subdivision and zoning changes, including Rotorua’s adoption of the Medium Density Residential Standard (MDRS), enabling the creation of three separate titles and increasing equity.
• Managing tenant transitions and site safety, including resolving legacy tenant issues and staging construction to minimise disruption.

The project delivered:

$2,010 per week in rental income (up from $500)

• $380,000 in equity gain
• Two new-build homes
  • 4-bedroom with one and half bathrooms
  • 3-bedroom with one bathroom
• One re-configured and fully renovated home
  • 3-bedroom with one bathroom
• Runner-up in NZPIF Renovation of the Year

This development showcases strategic planning, hands-on execution, and a commitment to creating warm, durable homes that uplift tenants and build long-term value.

Property Trades

I’ve also completed two successful renovation trades in South Auckland:

Manurewa:
Renovated a standalone home with updated flooring, bathroom enhancements including extra toilet, and exterior refresh. The property was staged and sold post-renovation, generating strong returns.

Otara:
Acquired a distressed property, completed targeted renovations including interior painting, kitchen upgrades, and compliance improvements, then sold for a capital gain. This included floor plan changes.

These trades reflect my ability to identify underperforming assets, execute cost-effective renovations, and time exits to maximise value.
