Native terminology, not translated.
Stackhold uses the terms you actually use — no US-tool-in-translation friction.
- Bright-line test → automatic tax-on-gain modelling if you sell inside the window.
- Negative gearing → offset losses against other income where rules allow.
- New-build DTI exemption → the engine applies the correct rule per property.
- Body corporate → per-property annual fee plus any special levies.
- Council rates, not property tax — stored and escalated separately.
- Interest-only (IO) vs principal-and-interest (P&I) per property with proper amortisation.
"Finally a tool that speaks NZ. LVR, DTI and the stress-test buffer are baked in — I stopped rebuilding spreadsheets every time the OCR moved."
