Start your path to financial freedom with a detailed financial plan for $0: https://bit.ly/4zfTl9I Someone told Ed at a property seminar that you need 10 investment properties to retire. After running the numbers for thousands of Kiwis, he can tell you: it's not true. For most NZ couples, the honest answer is closer to two paid-off rentals plus NZ Super. In this video, Ed breaks down the 5 levels of NZ retirement, and exactly how many properties it takes to reach each one: ● Why one NZ rental property could fund a No Frills retirement on top of Super ● Why the Choices lifestyle ($92,600/year) is achievable with one to two NZ rentals ● Why the Affluent lifestyle ($150,000/year) needs four to five, and why waiting 10 years to start costs you more than $200,000 ● Why even $200,000/year in retirement doesn't require ten properties ● And the two strategies: Nest Egg vs Golden Goose, and how they change the number you need 00:00 Intro 00:23 Level 1 - NZ Super 01:39 Level 2 - No Frills 04:10 Level 3 - Choices 07:15 Level 4 - Affluent 09:36 Level 5 - Contribution #retirement #retirementincome #propertyinvesting Item License Code: EXYV4HUKF5 https://www.opespartners.co.nz/   / opes_partners   Opes Partners Comment Deletion Policy At Opes Partners, we encourage open discussion and respectful debate.
