Why'd You Do It? A Real Property Investor Answers | Ep. 75

In this episode, Di Foster – property investors and executive leadership coach – walks through the reasons she decided to get into the investment property market and become a property investor. Di opens up and tells us that she was in a different position than she thought she was going to be in, due to a health scare. This is what prompted her and her husband to start looking at investment property.

We talk through one of the properties Di has invested in – a three-bedroom, two-bathroom standalone house in Wigram, Christchurch. She talks through how the property was bought for $500,000 and three years later is valued at $570,000 – a 4.4% growth rate year on year. That compares to a growth rate of 2.6% in the Canterbury region over the same period.
