Program investment

Three ways in.

Single project
$25,000

1:1 coaching through one full project, end to end.

12-month program
$30,000

A full year of coaching - for clients who want to complete 2 or more projects in 12 months.

Hands-free
$35,000

Wolfe Property manages one full project for you. You make the decisions; the Power Team does the rest.

All prices NZD including GST. Many clients pay the fee through usable equity - a good mortgage broker can arrange this as part of lending approval. No commissions, no kickbacks: we work solely for you.

Two ways to run it

Coached 1:1 - or completely Hands-Free.

Accelerate runs Coached 1:1 by default: you run the project hands-on, learning the skills by doing, with your coach beside you at every step. Prefer the result without the workload? Hands-Free started with time-poor CEOs and All Blacks - today it's open to any qualifying client. Our team drives the entire deal for you; you approve every major decision, and you're never on the tools or on site.

Coached 1:1
The default - learn by doing, with an expert making sure nothing goes wrong.
  • You run the deal, your coach guides every step
  • Deals analysed together, off-market and on
  • You manage the renovation with your Power Team
  • Skills you keep for every deal after this one
Hands-Free
Done for you - built for people who want the result, not a project.
  • Sourced, negotiated and due-diligence run for you
  • Renovation project-managed end to end
  • Tenanted and handed over - you approve, we execute
  • The same 8%+ target - built for you

Accelerate FAQ

The questions investors ask before starting.

How much equity do I need to work with Wolfe Property?

Most investors need at least $180,000 usable equity or capital for Accelerate, and $400,000+ for Boardroom.

  • Accelerate (single-dwelling): around $180,000 usable equity typically funds the deposit, renovation budget, and coaching fee. Each project differs - your mortgage adviser confirms lending, and Power Teams provide renovation quotes per project.
  • Boardroom (multi-unit): $400,000+ usable equity funds the deposit, renovation budget, and coaching fee. It's higher because multi-unit purchase prices start around $700,000 and rise with size, condition and location.

The more usable equity you have, the more market choices you have - higher-value property, or multiple projects per year.

What results can I expect?

A cashflow-first program targeting strong rental income and specific gross yield targets - 8%+ in Accelerate, 10%+ in Boardroom - through smarter renovations and better selection.

We don't rely on market growth; uplift is created through value-add renovation (and value often rises naturally as a result). Outcomes depend on the property, renovation decisions, lending, and market conditions. See real projects on the case studies page.

How much is a typical renovation budget?

Most value-add renovations sit between $50,000 and $100,000. The core principle: a cost-effective renovation where every dollar is spent only on changes that directly increase rental income.

Overspending - or spending on the wrong things - destroys deal economics. Knowing what not to do matters more than knowing what to do. Power Teams provide quotes and scopes per project.

How long does it take to buy and renovate in NZ?

Usually around 3–6 months from offer to rent-ready. Most people underestimate this - and holding costs while earning no rent can be significant.

  1. Due diligence and settlement: 4–6 weeks.
  2. Renovation: around 3–6 weeks - a key strategy is avoiding building consents wherever possible, as they slow projects and add cost.
  3. Ready for tenants: generally within 3–6 months of going under offer.
Can I do this if I work full-time or I'm really busy?

Yes - most clients work full-time and have families. The key is relying on a wider network, so you're making decisions rather than managing every call and site visit.

You focus on the key decisions - which deal, the renovation scope, signing off major steps. You still search the market yourself, with off-market sourcers complementing (not replacing) your search, and local professionals do the groundwork. Time stays focused on reviewing shortlisted properties or learning the framework, with slightly more involvement during a live renovation. Hands-Free suits the very time-poor.
