The Ups & Downs Of Being A Professional Property Investor - Cameron Stewart

Cameron is not your typical Property Investor type. He enjoyed a normal rural childhood in Invercargill; hunting, fishing and playing rugby. My Dad was a freezing worker and Mum was a stay at home Mum, he did not come from a financially abundant mentality, the family lived pay cheque to pay cheque and he did not get much experience in regards to finances in general. At 16 he left school to pursue various jobs in the agricultural industry. At just 24 years of age, he started to renovate and sell properties in South Auckland, working up to buying and selling more than 50 houses in a year. By age 37 he's been involved in more than 300 + transactions across all types of residential property , cosmetic trade renovations , extensive reclad projects , new builds , infill developments , home & income conversions, small subdivisions, minor dwellings & consulted on large land procurement projects. Its needless to say that his team have done most things related to the residential property market and this gives great insights and knowledge in helping others. Come along and hear his inspiring story.

Cameron has won a range of awards in the primary industries including Apprentice of the Year, Central Plateau - Ag ITO 2013, BOP Dairy Industry Awards Trainee of the Year 2014 But the most important experience he had during this time was joining a community and developing relationships with people in the one of the poorest, most deprived areas in the region. He observed the damage which government can wrought on a community with many hard working people, and how policies which restrict development, movement, and self-reliance can cause areas to decline.

Fixing the Rental Crisis

See the full report on our plan to fix the rental crisis here and a summary here. New Zealand has a rental property crisis. There are not enough rental properties, which has seen the Social Housing Register explode to over 25,000 and $1m of Government funds a day spent on motels to house tenants with emergency housing needs. First Homeowners have been prioritised over tenants and rental providers have been discouraged from providing rental accommodation. The system has been broken and needs to be improved to increase the supply of rental properties, lower the cost and price of rental properties and provide more stable rentals properties.
