What's Your Investment Property Actually Returning?

You probably bought it for the returns. But between the mortgage, rates, insurance, maintenance, and your time... do you know what you're really making?

Most property investors haven't calculated their true return in years. Not because they don't care - because life gets in the way. But here's the thing: the numbers change - and so do your needs. Interest rates shift. Expenses creep up. And that "solid investment" might be quietly underperforming the market.

You Know You Should Run the Numbers.

But For Some Reason, You Haven’t.

You've thought about it. Maybe even opened a spreadsheet. But then a tenant called, work got busy, and that analysis got pushed to "next weekend" for the third month running.

That means you're left wondering:

• Is this property actually making me money - or just feeling like it is?

• Would my equity work harder somewhere else?

• Am I holding on out of strategy... or just habit?

The uncomfortable truth: Property investing rewards those who review, adjust, and act. The longer you fly blind, the more it costs you.

At Eriksens we know how busy life can get. We also know the strength of our investment analysis.

That’s why we set up a service where we run the numbers for property investors just like you.

Get Clarity on Your Investment Property Return. Done For You.

We're people who analyse property investments every day. We have the calculators built, the market data ready, and no emotional attachment to your property - which helps when it comes to investment advice.

What takes you a weekend of spreadsheet and AI wrestling takes us a day to run the numbers and then write you a detailed report. We’ll tell you what we’re seeing in the market, your positioning, your return on investment (ROI) with multiple metrics. We’ll also forecast the future of your investment versus some real-life benchmarks, given our knowledge of interest rate outlooks, immigration, rental and development statistics.

All for a fixed $500 (incl. GST). We'll crunch your numbers and tell you exactly where you stand - no waffling, limited jargon, and no sales pitch. Just the facts and clear recommendations. Plus, we don’t forget about you when it’s done. We’ll keep you updated when interest rates change and keep your property details on record so that we can re-assess your position when you need us to. That means you’re prepared when opportunity strikes, all for a ‘friends and family’ fee.

Your Property Investment Analysis Includes:

1. Your True Return Calculation Not the "rental yield" agents quote. Your actual return after mortgage interest, rates, insurance, maintenance, property management, and the hours you spend dealing with it all, by two different metrics.

2. Market Comparison How does your property stack up against what a diversified portfolio could have delivered? We'll show you the opportunity cost in real dollars and also compare it with other real-world benchmarks.

3. Forward Projection Using our forecasted interest rates, inflation expectations, and market outlook, we'll model what your return looks like over the next 5-10 years. You can see if your position is getting better or worse, and when the ‘optimum’ time to sell would be, on a dollar return basis.

4. Buy / Hold / Sell Recommendation A clear, written recommendation from an independent Financial Adviser - not a banker, not a commission-paid financial adviser, not a mortgage broker. We are paid by you only, and don’t collect any trailing commissions, one-off fees or any kind of financial incentives from mortgage providers or fund managers. This makes us unique in the New Zealand market for our size and expertise.

5. Your Full Report (PDF) A professional document you can keep, share with your accountant, or use to have a proper conversation with your partner or family about what's next.
