PASSION FOR PROPERTY
It’s always fascinating to hear what constitutes a life-changing experience. For Dan and Allena Timmins it was the week they spent working frantically to complete the cosmetic renovation of their first rental property in Rotorua.
They couldn’t afford to have the property empty so they had to get it tenanted as soon as possible. That meant Dan had to take a week off work, while Allena rushed over after her shifts or on days off to get the renovation done. While they managed it, it took 10 to 14-hour days for them to do so.
Still, the couple enjoyed staying in their new rental on an air bed, eating pizza and having fun together, figuring out what they were doing as they went along. In fact, the experience triggered a desire to do it again and, within a short time, they had well and truly caught the property bug.
Fast forward seven years and Dan and Allena have built up a strong 19 property portfolio, largely based in Whanganui which is where they now live with their two young children. Motivated by the desire to build wealth for the future, they are passionate about the powers of property investment
