Kathryn Seque, Landlord of the Year 2016 will talk about what is involved in going for Landlord of the Year 2017.
Kathryn Seque was awarded 2016 NZPIF Landlord of the Year. Find out (some) of the things she does to have happy tenants and how she builds positive relationships with her tenants. Its not all plain sailing but it is a rewarding business. There are some 'funny' experiences, cautionary tales and good advice for the novice and experienced landlord.
Seque is 24 and manages around 80 properties, four of which belong to her.
The Landlord of the Year Award for 2016 is Kathryn Seque from the Otago Property Investors' Association.
The award, sponsored by MBIE, recognises excellence among members of Property Investors’ Associations affiliated to the New Zealand Property Investors’ Federation.
Kathryn received her award at the Federation’s national conference in New Plymouth last month.
The judging panel, including the MBIE’s Hagen Tautari, said Kathryn showed a real desire to make Dunedin a nicer place to live in by improving the rental homes she owns and manages. She made health and safety a priority, was innovative, and believed technology was there to be used.
Kathryn will hold the New Zealand Property Investors’ Federation–Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment Landlord of the Year Cup for one year, and received a framed citation.
Adrian Bray of the Auckland Property Investors’ Association and Chris Perera of the Wellington Property Investors’ Association were joint runners-up for the award, which attracts a high caliber of candidates. We encourage Property Investors’ Association members to apply next year.
