if purchased with 100% debt require a top-up?
It's actually 99% of Auckland properties.
Right.
So if you think about that, for most investors, when they're starting out, they borrow 100%.
I still borrow as much of it as I possibly can.
So you're probably topping up on a weekly basis.
If you want to know the numbers for that, I'd recommend using Opus Plus.
So get a free account, enter in a property.
You can post in from Trade Me, the link,
and it will pre-populate as much as it can, and it will make some assumptions and give you a cash flow.
We try and help people use really honest numbers or realistic numbers around cash flow, because often what I see, particularly if you're trying to sell a property, like if a developer's trying to sell a property, they'll give you the best case scenario,
um and and you won't factor in things like vacancy you won't factor in things like maintenance and accounting and they'll say well it's a new property you shouldn't have that well you shouldn't but you might do it and you will at some stage so put it into your spreadsheet and be realistic with your numbers and for anyone that doesn't know what opus plus is um bruce it's on our website you can go to opus partners and it says opus plus at the top and that's our online app to basically track your rentals and assess rentals

And there was an article in the paper just on Sunday that Ian and I had a good old chuckle about.
Now, not a chuckle because I think you shouldn't be concerned about it, but a chuckle because sometimes the headline doesn't actually match up the data you read and some of the sources are absolute nonsense.
So...
Ed and I recorded a podcast today.
It'll come out in the next week or so, which is about exactly this townhouses.
And Ed actually did a video.
Do you want to post the video in the chat, which actually talks about this?
