Meet Hamish Cowan
You're not being passed to a salesperson. You're speaking with the founder.
Hamish started Equiti after seeing too many everyday Kiwis arrive at retirement house-rich but cash-poor, people who had done everything right, yet still couldn't afford the retirement they'd worked decades for. He knew the tool to change that was already sitting in most people's homes. They just needed someone honest enough to show them how to use it.
With years of experience guiding property investors across New Zealand, Hamish combines deep market knowledge with a straight-talking, no-pressure approach that puts your interests first, every time. He's built Equiti's entire process around one principle: education before decision making. He'll never push you toward a purchase that doesn't genuinely stack up for your situation.
"My job is simple: help you make confident, informed decisions you'll feel good about for years to come. There's no such thing as a silly question on this call. We'll work through your numbers together until the path forward is genuinely clear."

What You'll Walk Away With
Here's exactly what you'll get from your free 15-minute call with Hamish
A clear view of where you stand
Hamish will help you understand your current financial position, your equity, your goals, and your retirement outlook, so you can see whether property investment is genuinely worth exploring. No fluff, just an honest read from someone who knows what he's talking about.
Whether your equity could fund an investment
Most Kiwis don't realise the deposit for their first investment property may already be sitting in their home. Hamish will help you work out whether that's true for your situation, often the answer is sooner than you'd expect.
The costly mistakes to sidestep from the start
Hamish has seen firsthand what trips up first-time and experienced investors alike. He'll flag the errors that could cost you years or thousands, so you go in with your eyes open.
An honest next step, whatever that looks like
By the end of the call, you'll know exactly where you stand. If Equiti is a good fit, Hamish will show you what the journey looks like. If it's not the right time, he'll point you toward what is. Either way, you leave with more clarity than you arrived with.
Why Equiti
Why Kiwis trust Equiti with the biggest financial decision of their life
Hamish built Equiti on the belief that Kiwis deserve honest property guidance, not a sales pitch. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Education before action.
Hamish explains the "why" before the "what," so every decision feels like yours, because it is.
Real numbers, not hype.
Every property option comes with full cashflow forecasts, so you see exactly what a property costs, before committing a cent.
A coach the whole way.
From your first call with Hamish through to settlement and beyond, you're guided every step of the way. You're never left to figure it out alone.
Downside protection built in.
Think 2-year rent guarantees on properties, fixed price contracts, property manager referrals, and straightforward guidance at every turn.
Real Kiwis. Real results.

The best introduction.
"I'm extremely glad that I was introduced to Hamish for my first property investment. He has been very helpful and reliable. The properties offered at Equiti also seem high quality and priced accordingly. I look forward to continuing my property investment journey with Equiti and most especially, Hamish."
- Angelina, Auckland
So much confidence and peace of mind.
"Equiti were a great and safe pair of hands for us as first-time investment property buyers. The team made the whole process so easy, providing excellent intel on various areas and property types that would return strong rental yields. Equiti even referred us to a property management company and provided a 2-year rent guarantee. This has given us so much confidence and peace of mind that we haven't had to stress or worry about anything. We couldn't recommend them more highly!"
- Ari and Clare, Wellington
We couldn't have been in better hands.
"We worked with Hamish to buy our first investment property and we couldn't have been in better hands. He was knowledgeable about the housing market and steered us to the best plan to set us up for future success. Hamish was super communicative about the process, and explained everything every step of the way so we didn't feel out of our depth or lost at all. We highly recommend Equiti!"
- Ginette and Matthew, Auckland
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, your Clarity Call is directly with Hamish Cowan, Equiti's Founder and Director. As the person who built Equiti from the ground up, Hamish brings a depth of experience and perspective that makes this first conversation particularly valuable. These 15 minutes are a genuine, focused conversation with someone who has guided many Kiwi investors through the process and who genuinely cares about getting your situation right from the very start.
Yes, completely. There's no cost and no obligation. It's a genuine conversation designed to give you clarity on your situation. If property investment isn't the right fit, Hamish will tell you straight.
About 15 minutes. It's designed to be focused and efficient, you'll walk away with a clear answer and an honest next step, without losing your lunch break.
Not much. It helps to have a rough sense of your income, your mortgage balance, and your home's approximate value, but don't stress if the numbers aren't exact. Hamish will guide you through the conversation.
No. Hamish's approach is education before recommendation, always. The Clarity Call is about giving you an honest picture of your situation, not closing a sale. If property isn't right for you, he'll say so.
Not necessarily. Most of the people Hamish works with use the equity in their own home rather than cash savings as the deposit. On the call, he'll help you work out whether that's an option for you.
If property investment looks like a fit and you'd like to continue, Hamish will outline the next step, mapping your retirement gap and equity, then building a data-backed plan together. If now isn't the right time, he'll point you toward your best next move. There's no obligation either way.
