Hadley Nightingale grew up in New Zealand wanting to be a farmer, spent 8 years driving road trains in the Australian Outback hauling iron ore, came back in 2015, and went all in on building a property portfolio. His first buy was a house other people literally walked out of at the open home. Mold on the ceilings, drug paraphernalia on the windows, buyers calling it disgusting. He bought it, renovated it, and today that property is worth close to a million dollars with $1,300 a month in cashflow. All in at $550K.In this episode, Roy and Charles sit down with Hadley to break down how he built a buyer's agency in New Zealand, why he believes most real estate agents represent the wrong party, how he finds deals other buyers miss, and what strategy changes he made when the New Zealand government stripped interest deductibility from rental properties. Hadley also gets into his philosophy on cashflow vs capital growth, the government policy shifts that changed his playbook, and where he sees himself in 3 years.Whether you are buying your first investment property or trying to build a system around deal flow and acquisition, this episode is worth your full attention.Topics covered include buying distressed properties and the right way to evaluate them, why FOMO is the number one trap for new investors, how buyer's agencies work and why Hadley built one from scratch, navigating tax policy changes in New Zealand and what US investors can learn from it, rent by room vs duplex conversion, cashflow vs capital growth in 2026, and the one word that kills most investors before their second deal.dealflow-os.comhttps://buybuildexitwithroyredd.substack.com/IG: @buybuildexitFree Skool class: Buy Build Exit Academy — https://www.skool.com/buy-build-exit-academy-8709/about
