20 Rongomai Street, Helensville, Rodney, Auckland

This near-new, single-level home needs a new owner ASAP!

Currently rented to a long-term tenant who's happy to stay put, this is a fantastic investment opportunity. Homes like this have been flying off the market, making it an affordable way to step onto the property ladder without needing to sell a kidney. And you will kick off your investment with a yield vastly higher than the current median return for Auckland.

First-home buyers, listen up! For this price, you could squeeze into a tiny two-bedroom apartment with body corporate fees sucking the life out of you. Or you could own this beauty, no shared walls, none of that Bodycorp rubbish, and no asking permission to move your barbecue two feet to the left.

• No body corp fees - keep your hard-earned cash.

• No frustrating restrictions - want to add a gazebo? Go for it!

• No neighbours breathing down your neck - enjoy a little space and freedom!

Pay no attention to the opinions of value of those self-professed real estate experts you find online. Their opinions are irrelevant here, this is 100% about what you think it's worth, not them.

Look it's an auction and I don't know what the reserve is yet but the impatience of the lenders to get this off their books means it will sell and at a price level that reinvents just how little you have to pay for a 4-bedroom home.

Frankly, the seller's situation means this property has to go. So if you don't snap it up, someone else will. Call now before you miss out and end up regretting it over a sad cup of instant noodles!
