Renting doesn't have to suck - how to outsmart the housing market to get the best deal

  • Summary

  • Welcome to Ask the Experts, where each week we talk to people in the industry to get the inside word on what’s happening right now, and what that means for the tactics that you should use to make the most of your money.


    We talk a lot about how to buy property — but what if you’re renting?


    With rental prices rising and housing taking up a huge chunk of the average budget, renters need smart strategies too. In this episode, I team up with realestate.co.nz and speak with property expert Vanessa Williams about how to make the most of your money while renting.


    We cover how to understand the rental market in New Zealand, how to protect yourself financially as a tenant, what to know if you want to buy a home eventually, and how to set goals that work whether you rent short- or long-term.


    Whether you're a lifelong renter or saving for your first home, this episode, we've got your back.
