Announcing he wants his company, Property Ventures, to be listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange within the next year, the Arizona-based de Roos is in New Zealand this month to give a series of real estate seminars. He said he would be seeing many of his investments while touring here.

Via Property Ventures, de Roos said he had bought 96 Lichfield St in Christchurch, an old building which had been converted into 140 apartments to cater for backpackers between November and January and tertiary students during the university year.
