In this episode, we are joined by Dennis Schipper, a consultant at Opes Partners. Dennis has a lot of experience in property investment nz. Here, we discuss 6 strategies you can use if you've got a property in mind, but haven't got the ability to get the lending. This include:
- Get your house revalued (or do minor renovations to your property to increase the value of your owner-occupier home and then get it revalued)
