... on social media.

For myself personally, really ambitious, very impatient, need to be in control.

[laughs] All those great things.

Um, you know, if we hear there's this falling knife in the market, the values are coming down, should we grab it or will they drop further? Again, what are your goals? Um, if it's, if it's a property that you cannot control, manipulate, enhance, differentiate, to me, that is terrifying.

If I owned a new build identical to six others, 20 others, 70 others in the same compound that, that come through online from a value and rental perspective, actually, therefore, I believe, as an investor, relinquished my control to people I have no influence over.

So if the owners along this identical block are in a lesser financial situation and they have to sell and drop the pants on the price, that is one data point, but the more people who do that, that actually has reset my balance sheet.

So how do you, as someone who is making a lot of investing decisions yourself, you know, you've got skin in the game, um, when you're looking at this and saying crisis or opportunity, how do you weigh that up? And also, how do you build in some buffer and some safeguards just in case?

What do you think people are looking at in terms of their portfolios and why are they looking at the wrong parts of the market?

Yeah, I think it does align with point number five around having the right expectations as to which markets are most suitable for you.

You know, what's your outcome? It's really natural.

You know, if you live in Auckland, you think, oh, I'll look for an affordable area within Auckland.

There's that familiarity and that comfort of the neighbourhood still.

There's a lot of that.

You probably both see that as well.

Because there was Gisborne and stuff a while ago, you know? Is that still going or is that taped off a bit?
