Why Her $290k Apartment Wasn’t the Bargain It Seemed⎟Ep. 2355
What would you do differently if you could start your property journey again?
In this Case Study Sunday episode, Nikki shares how she built a three-property portfolio over 10 years – what went right, what went wrong, and the lessons she learned the hard way (especially with apartments).
You’ll learn:
- How she almost doubled her money on a Wellington house and sold just outside the bright-line period
- Why her central Wellington apartment looked great on yield… but disappointed on capital growth
- How buying in Christchurch in 2020 turned into a $260k+ uplift
It’s an honest, balanced conversation about timing markets, being agile with your portfolio, travelling while you’re still young enough to enjoy it, and knowing when to hold… and when to sell.
