The three options I really have are:

- Buy a rental in Auckland for roughly 350-400k. This would take me another year or two to get the deposit, increase my salary to support the borrowings, etc.
- Buy a rental in a smaller NZ town other than Auckland, Wellington, Christchruch for 200-300k I could do this in 3-6 months
- Buy a portfolio of shares for a 5-7 year time frame to build as a first house deposit when I want to buy my own house to live in
