40% ⬆️ in rent yield and 37% ⬆️ in value. All with a realistic budget!
APIA member Kirsten Hawke, with the help of James Goren from The Renovation Team*, recently transformed a block of flats in Papatoetoe into modern homes for its tenants and a solid investment for herself. Kirsten and James join us at this webinar to showcase the project, share some behind-the-scenes stories and photos, crunch some numbers and answer our questions.
