The Great Reset: How to Invest After the Slump

The Great Reset: How to Invest After the Slump is a high-impact, in-person keynote for property investors who feel stuck after a brutal few years and want a clear, confident game plan for 2026. You will swap noise and second-guessing for a small number of concrete moves you can action in the next 12–24 months.​

Why this night matters

If you are:​

• Sitting on equity but scared to pull the trigger after a few brutal years.​

• A newer investor wondering if you “missed” the cheap money era.​

• Holding properties that feel stuck while rates, rents, and headlines keep shaking your confidence.​

This night is designed to give you clarity on what to do next, not more conflicting opinions. You will hear what experienced operators are actually doing with finance, deals, and risk right now instead of social media theory.apia​

What you will walk away with

By the end of the evening, you will:​

• See exactly where we are in the cycle and what that means for your next 12–24 months of decisions, not just this month’s headlines.​

• Learn how experienced investors are structuring finance, taking risk, and choosing deals in a slower, more selective market.​

• Walk away with two or three concrete moves you can make this quarter, whether you are refinancing, upgrading, buying, or simply shoring up your position.​

You will not get hype or magic bullets; you will get a decision-making filter you can apply to every listing, podcast, and “hot tip” that comes your way in 2026.​

Fireside: investing after the slump

The fireside conversation features:​

• Kris Pedersen – Director, Kris Pedersen Mortgages: Mortgage strategist to serious investors, across bank appetite, non-bank options, and real-world finance hurdles in this cycle.​

• Steven Ingram – Director, Fontaine Moore: Experienced investor and business leader focused on building resilient portfolios when the market is not doing you any favours.​

Hosted by APIA board member and prolific developer Sang Cho, the conversation will cover:​

• What “investing after the slump” looks like in real deals and structures.​

• Where today’s best opportunities are emerging, and which ones to avoid.​

• Costly mistakes they are seeing investors make right now and better alternatives.​

You will have time for audience questions so you can put your scenario on the table (within reason) and hear seasoned perspectives on your next move.​

Market context: where are we in the cycle

Before the fireside, you will hear a sharp market update. This briefing will outline:​

• What is happening with listings, demand, and days on market across Auckland.​

• Where investor activity is picking up again and where it remains patchy.​

• Key signals to watch in 2026 so you are not chasing the last cycle.​

The aim is to give you enough context to make sense of every property headline you see this year.​
