ON THE PROPERTY ROAD
It’s a long and not very well travelled road, from Punjab in Northern India to a tourist town in the lower part of the South Island. But it’s the road that millennial property investor Satyan Mehra has taken to make his way in the world. And it’s also the road that has helped him to build up his diverse, multi-sector portfolio.
Prior to his arrival in New Zealand as an 18-year-old student, Mehra had no knowledge of the possibilities inherent in property investment – and, therefore, no goals to pursue it. But it didn’t take long for his eyes to be opened and his plans to change.
Once that happened, there was no stopping him. Although he first focused on residential property, along the way he has become a keen proponent of commercial property. Now, thirteen years down the track Mehra has a portfolio made up of 12 residential properties and five commercial properties.
