Thanks to those that have offered some help with the purchase of this property, which I intend to turn into 'The Heartlanz Co-operative' community centre, with something for everyone.
There's been a few comments that I should just sell all the stuff I have. A fair comment, but
1. I don't have time
2. Most of the materials are intended for either use for people and if sold, proceeds will go back to the community projects.
If I had the recorded income that I've had over the last 3 months for a longer period, I would have no problem borrowing from a financial institution to purchase this property, but those that know, all our energy and resources have mostly gone to building Heartlanz into what it is today, and making money has not ever been top priority. Situation now, is I have a time limit to purchase (settlement mid November), and I have already put 10's thousands into this project (including property improvements, the recording studio, and the deposit).
I have drawn up the legal document now that all contributions will be well secured, giving people the 7% return and other perks, over a 2 year period.
Please let us know if you'd like a copy of this document, and hit me up with any questions.
Thanks people 💛💛

To all our friends, friends of friends, and past and future guests of Heartlanz (please share, and/or like to help spread the word)

Many may know some of my history of working within humanitarian and community services around the world.... and for some time I have had a drive to do more here in NZ.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to host guests, and be a kaitiaki (caretaker), at Heartlanz, and this next stage is not only developing an asset for the local community, but also an extension of Heartlanz (The Heartlanz Co-operative, non-profit organisation).
Thus, retail, workshop, recording studio, recreational spaces etc, will be available to locals and all, from around the country, with accommodation options also galore 😀

I have been leasing the property for some years from a beautiful elderly couple from Auckland, that need to sell the building and have offered it to me at a huge discount. I have already built and renovated many of the spaces, but with all the grand plans, I will be looking at selling many of my personal assets to help fund these.
In the meantime, the owners son has got involved and they have put a time limit on (as he's got some of his own ideas).

Mid November is the settlement, thus some urgency. Here are some ideas for people to be able to help/support and or invest, rather than lining the pocket of a bank.

Storage and workshop space for festival theme camps. 5 spaces equal to 20ft container for storage, plus all access to tools and workshop areas, discounted accommodation options, plus access to/assistance with transportation (bus, truck, trailers available). These packages are negotiable, but would start around $2000 for a year, but happy to discuss any variables.

Investment platform will consist of either a $2000 or $5000 2 year contract (lesser amounts of gifts or investment won't be denied, just will be without legal paperwork)
Investments will be remunirised with a 7% interest rate + free accommodation packages could bring actual return up to 12% +.

Fundraising goal is $260k which covers purchase price, gst and legal fees (I've already put $30k + more shortly, of my own personal funds in)
Obviously no funds will be drawn on, or used for anything else, other than this building.

CALLING ALL EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST.
Please P.M or call me if you have any questions.
Sending love and appreciation.
