SUMMARY:How to Stop Social Media from Setting Your Tax Bill
DESCRIPTION:Tim Wilson live at APIA: Distrust\, Decay and Death‑Defiance: How Media Narratives Will Shape Your Next Decade as a Property Investor\n\nHousing\, tax and tenancy rules do not appear out of thin air. They follow the stories voters are told about you. In a year of distrust\, information overload and a disestablished Broadcasting Standards Authority\, the people who control the housing narrative now will control the policy settings that shape your cashflow for the next decade. \nRight after the 2026 APIA AGM\, join fellow Auckland investors for a candid on‑stage interview with Maxim Institute Executive Director and former broadcaster Tim Wilson. Together with Tim\, we will unpack how legacy media\, social media algorithms and the erosion of traditional referees like the BSA are reshaping belief formation in a post‑fact world and how that flow of “vibes” becomes concrete outcomes on interest deductibility\, tenancy law and tax. \nBuilt for investors who are feeling the pinch in a suppressed economy but know that keeping your head down is no longer a strategy. You will see\, in plain language\, how media framing of “good” and “bad” landlords feeds public sentiment\, which feeds election platforms\, which feeds the rules you have to live with. More importantly\, you will learn how to step out of the echo chamber\, re‑enter the old‑fashioned game of persuasion and use existing media and social‑media infrastructure to help build a broader\, solutions‑focused housing coalition before polling day. \n\nCome with an open mind and leave with practical talking points\, simple content ideas and a 90‑day influence plan so you are not a powerless bystander to the next wave of reforms. This is not about becoming an influencer; it is about understanding the game and playing your position well enough to protect your portfolio and contribute to a healthier housing debate \nWhat you will learn\n\n\nHow narratives about landlords and investors are formed and amplified across news\, talkback and social feeds and why they “stick” even when they are wrong. \n\n\nThe real‑world chain from story to sentiment to policy: how headlines today can become housing and tax settings after the election. \n\n\nWhat the end of the Broadcasting Standards Authority means for fairness\, balance and accountability in housing coverage and how that changes the risks and opportunities for investors who speak up. \n\n\nSimple ways to step outside your own echo chamber and communicate across political and generational lines without getting dragged into tribal fights. \n\n\nPractical tactics you can use immediately\, from letters to the editor and talkback calls to smart use of Facebook groups\, LinkedIn and short‑form video\, to support a pro‑housing\, pro‑supply coalition \n\n\nCall for your questions\nWe want this conversation to grapple with the questions that are actually keeping you up at night. Send your questions or scenarios for Tim in advance to admin@apia.org.nz any time up to and including Monday 8 June\, and we will weave as many as possible into the on‑stage interview and audience Q&A. \n\n\n\n\nTim Wilson\nTim Wilson is the Executive Director of Maxim Institute and one of New Zealand’s most seasoned public storytellers. A former TVNZ correspondent in New York\, broadcaster and author\, he has spent decades watching how ideas move from newsroom to living room to Parliament\, and now works at the intersection of culture and policy to help New Zealanders think clearly about issues like housing\nRegister Now\nSeats are limited.

SUMMARY:What the TCIT Knows About You (And What's Next)
DESCRIPTION:A candid evening with Brett Wilson\, head of MBIE’s Tenancy Compliance and Investigations Team\nYou’ve heard the rumours. You’ve read the headlines. You’ve probably Googled “TCIT” at least once after a news story made you nervous.But you’ve never had the chance to sit across from the person who actually runs the team.\n\nBrett Wilson is the National Manager of MBIE’s Tenancy Compliance and Investigations Team. For the past decade\, his team has been the one knocking on doors\, opening investigations\, and taking landlords to the Tribunal. He’s seen every shortcut\, every excuse\, and every compliance failure the rental sector has produced.\n\nNow he’s walking into a room full of Auckland landlords. And he’s agreed to talk.\nNot a press conference. Not a government statement.\n\nA real conversation: on stage\, unscripted\, with your questions on the table. \nWhy this matters to you right now\nThe Government just announced a brand-new regulatory regime for property managers: registration\, training requirements\, trust account rules\, a disciplinary tribunal. The rules of the game are changing. And whether you use a property manager or run your own rentals\, you need to understand what’s coming before it arrives. \n\nBrett will take you through:\n\nWhere the TCIT has been — the cases\, the patterns\, the surprises from 10 years of enforcement\nWhere it’s going — proactive intelligence\, data-driven compliance\, and the death of the “we only act on complaints” model\nWhat the new property manager regulations mean for you — whether you’re self-managing or trusting someone else with your asset\nYour questions — no filter\, no script\, direct to the person who leads tenancy enforcement in this country\n\nAlso at this meeting: Regulation-Ready: What Smart Landlords Need From Their Property Manager\nPaul and Louisa Weeks from Harcourts Reforma bring the commercial side\, what regulation-ready property management actually looks like\, and what it means for your portfolio. Sharp\, practical\, and worth arriving on time for. \n\n\n\n\nThis isn’t a webinar you’ll watch later. It’s not a podcast episode you’ll half-listen to in the car. It’s a room\, a conversation\, and the one person most landlords never get to question answering yours.\nAnd if you think compliance is not something that thrill you\, just think of it as you either hear it from Brett\, or you hear it from his team when they assess your file.\nRegister Now\nSeats are limited.
