How long should property investors hold on in the downturn? – Nadine Higgins

Isla Cooper2026-07-18T20:03:00.000Z

honestly if you bought at peak and can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen. property isn't a guaranteed win forever

Hayden Kelly2026-07-18T20:30:00.000Z

exactly. if you can't take the heat build a bonfire

lol @ 'hold on'... they just want to keep the Ponzi scheme going. let it crash, let people buy homes ffs

NZ Herald2026-07-18T20:46:00.000Z

Ponzi? It's called a market you clown. People need homes

Hayden Kelly2026-07-18T20:22:00.000Z

we been through this before. market cycles. if you can't stomach a 20% drop you shouldn't have leveraged your house for a rental

NZ Herald2026-07-18T20:38:00.000Z

But what about the widows and orphans who invested their life savings? Should they just cop it? Not everyone can time the market

RNZ2026-07-18T20:52:00.000Z

oh here we go with the heartstrings. boomers bought in 1985 for a pineapple and now cry because their 'investment' might drop. get over yourselves

Blake Turner2026-07-18T21:15:00.000Z

sitting tight with my three rentals. positive cash flow still. but yeah if you bought on negative gear hoping for capital gains you're toast

Zoe King2026-07-18T21:33:00.000Z

cope harder landlord. maybe sell your flat white fund

Drew Parker2026-07-18T21:31:00.000Z

maybe if interest rates drop back to 2% again we'll see spring back. but that's a big if. *sips coffee*

Reagan Shaw2026-07-18T21:56:00.000Z

as a student, watching you landlords squirm is my new favourite sport. tutor me on economics pls

Peyton Hall2026-07-18T22:30:00.000Z

look I get people are hurting but maybe we don't need to gloat? some people are genuinely stressed

Reagan Shaw2026-07-18T22:38:00.000Z

love how you try to play nice while your kind prices me out of a flat. spare me 😂

Isla Cooper2026-07-18T22:53:00.000Z

wait til the forced selling starts. that's when the real bargains appear. 🤔

Drew Parker2026-07-18T23:31:00.000Z

give it 5 years they'll be back. property never goes down forever
