Risks of Investing in Rental Property
- Vacancy
If your property is vacant for extended periods, it won’t generate rental income. This could happen if the property is not in high demand or if the rent is set too high. - Tenant Issues
Managing difficult tenants can be stressful and costly, potentially leading to property damage, missed rent payments, or legal disputes. - Maintenance and Repairs
Ongoing maintenance is necessary to keep your property in good condition, and unexpected repair costs can add up, increasing the overall cost of ownership. - Market Fluctuations
Changes in the real estate market, such as interest rate shifts or reduced demand for rentals, can impact both the property’s value and the rental income. - Regulatory Compliance
Property owners in New Zealand must comply with health and safety regulations and tenancy laws. Non-compliance can lead to fines or legal consequences. - Financial Burden
A rental property can become a financial burden, especially if it doesn’t generate enough income to cover expenses like mortgage payments, insurance, and maintenance. - Depreciation and Wear & Tear
Over time, the property’s value may decrease due to depreciation and wear and tear, reducing its overall worth.
