My family (wife and two daughters 7 and 12) and I will immigrate in NZ in september by LTBV. We plan to live in small town Kaiapoi near ChCh.
We have enough money for purchase home by cash but I think that buying home immediately after arriving is stupid.
We planned to rent a home for a three month or same, looking around, research housing market and purchase home only after that.
But on this way we have big problem - no one want to rent house for me. Three month is too little time. No References.
I don't want to rent for more time, I can buy my own home and don't pay money.
I Please to you give me some advice - what I can to do in this situation?
Or no ways out of problem and I forced to live in shed for 500NZD per week?
