In New Zealand, An official from a landlords association believes that investment figures on holiday rentals are a “overinflated,” saying that instead of the $200 billion that was initially reported, it may about fifty percent of that.

Andrew King, vice-president of the Property Investors Federation, said that the contention of Tax Working Group’s that there was too much money invested in property is a definitely “overinflated.”

This seemed to concur with the research presented by Auckland University’s Retirement Policy and Research Center which states that the actual amount invested on holiday rentals and properties are in the range of $60 to $80 billion.
