The Property Academy Podcast · If a Rental Doesn’t Pass This “Test,” Don’t Buy It · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

Hello and welcome along to the Proper Academy podcast by Ober Spartners. voice-verified

I'm your host, Steve McKnight. voice-verified

And this is the show that helps Kiwis go from zero to five investment properties so you could be financially free and stick around for the next 15 minutes because you're gonna learn if a rental doesn't pass this test, don't buy it. voice-verified

The real story is about property deals that didn't go to plan, and the number one thing investors miss, and look, it's not what you think. voice-verified

Because there was a property investor in Wellington who I met recently, and he was doing a voice-verified

Renovation down in Wellington. voice-verified

The plan was to sell it as a flip property. voice-verified

So he's going to buy it, renovate it, sell it really quickly. voice-verified

Now there's a bit of an issue. voice-verified

The neighbors didn't want the property sold. voice-verified

It wasn't in a a very nice area. voice-verified

It was a cheap property on what could be kindly described as not the best street, but the neighbors really wanted this property to still be empty. voice-verified

Maybe so they didn't have any. voice-verified

any like neighbours complaining about them. voice-verified

So what happens during the open homes where this poor investor's trying to sell the property is the neighbors pointed a boom box at the house, started blasting music, the dogs were barking. voice-verified

They actually dumped piles of tires on the property. voice-verified

The investor paid to remove those tires, and then all of a sudden more appeared. voice-verified

And then there was a break-in. voice-verified

During the night, the appliances went missing. voice-verified

And when I say went missing, I mean they were stolen. voice-verified
