P

roperty investment has proved to be far and
away the best wealth creator and retirement
security for New Zealanders. For example, owning
one rental property on retirement can return
an extra $300 - $400 per week. Consider the
difference this can make to a retirement lifestyle,
travel or serving a mission. National Business
Review Magazine annually puts together a top 100
Rich List for NZ. Interestingly, more than 50 % of
these people have created their wealth through
property!

Laurence
Day

A

s a young married man Laurence was
supplementing his income by working
nightshift in a plastics factory. He was
astonished to find one of his co-workers
was retiring at the age of 50. When
asked how, the co-worker said he owned
10 rental properties plus his own home
freehold. He was married, raised 5 kids
and had never worked anywhere else but
the plastics factory!
Taking that as his inspiration, Laurence
followed his example, invested in property
and also retired at 50!
In his seminars he makes liberal use
of stories and anecdotes from his own
experience. “I tell it warts and all,” says
Laurence, “that way you can avoid making
the same mistakes I did. Property is no
get rich quick scheme but done right, it is
a tried and proven way to build financial
security and independence”. q
