Property investors get painted as greedy speculators chasing a landlord empire. But Opes Partners just analysed 4,381 real NZ retirement plans — and the real reason Kiwis invest in property is nothing like that. In this episode of the Property Academy podcast, Ed and Andrew share what the data actually shows:
● Why 48% of NZ property investors want to retire before 65 — and 1 in 4 plan to retire at 59 or younger ● Why 57% mention travel, 52% their children, and 43% security and peace of mind as their real reason for investing ● Why KiwiSaver only funds 18% of the median NZ retirement goal — and why property fills the gap Super and KiwiSaver leave ● Why the median NZ retirement plan involves just 3 properties — not 10 ● And why the 50th birthday triggers 27% more retirement plans than any surrounding age
Kiwis don't invest to be land barons. They invest so they can retire a bit early, see family, turn the heater on in winter, and stop stressing about money.
