The majority of motels in New Zealand operate by way of lease. The motelier will generally hold a long-term lease and pay a set rental to the owner of the land and building investment. Motel investment properties offer a number of advantages over other types of property investment and more detail on this can be viewed in the article Motel Land & Building Investments.
