Property Investment
What is a Rent-Ready property?
It's a common misconception that all turnkey properties are inherently ready to rent. This is why investors shouldn’t just look for properties ... you need to look for Rent-Ready properties.

Here at Opes Partners, we help regular Kiwis become successful property investors.
So when you work with us, you’ll get:
But many investors then ask, “ok, but what does that mean? What do I get?”
Because we focus on investors and only recommend New Builds, we’ve become experts.
We’ve seen what goes wrong when investors buy New Builds and have ironed out the kinks in the process.
That’s why Kiwis get extra service when they use us that they wouldn’t get elsewhere.
It's not just about finding the right property from the right developer. You also get ongoing support when you buy the property.
Here’s an honest comparison between buying through the Opes Group vs doing it yourself.
These lists aren’t to scare you off doing it on your own. This is to make clear the extra service you get when you work with Opes Partners.
The first thing you want to know when buying an investment is that it’s a good property. Here are the extra benefits you get when you work with Opes.
Often, many New Builds come with hidden costs. Progressive payment builds can come with lots of additional interest costs.
Some properties advertised by developers online don’t come with curtains, a mailbox or even a driveway.
When you work with a property investment company like Opes, you work with a financial adviser. This is to make sure the property helps you achieve your financial goals.
You also need to make sure that the developer will deliver. If you work with Opes, we’ve already checked them out and will be there if something goes wrong.
There’s a lot to do when you buy a New Build. So when you work with our team, you’ll get a Client Relationship Manager (CRM) who organises a lot of the details for you.
This list isn’t to blow our trumpet – or tell you we’re the best.
Because we’re not right for everyone. We’re not right for people who want to live in their own homes and not for people who want to renovate properties.
But we are really good at helping people build a portfolio or New Build investment properties.
Your next step is to book a portfolio planning session. This is where a financial adviser will create you a financial plan. They will then find properties that fit your plan.
