Industrial property in New Zealand is an excellent area to invest in, with industrial sites available from under $200,000. They can produce substantial returns over time and give high equity with low risk.

Tenants of Industrial properties are generally bound by long term leases over a period of 2 - 5 years with right to renew after that period. This is favourable to an investor as it secures cashflow for a long period of time giving good returns and establishing the buildings yield.

The great thing about Industrial property is the low maintenance in managing the property and business content.

This type of property are usually leased by practical business people who generally pay by automatic payment on a monthly basis so all you have to do is check your bank account. Tenants generally cover all outgoings of the building such as rates, insurance and potential maintenance required.

The only downside is the lengthy and wordy lease agreements which can take some time to negotiate but are crucial to securing your return on the property.
