Hamish Murphy: Vice-President

Head shot of Hamish MurphyHamish has been a member of WnPIA since 2010, but has had a long time interest in property since the age of 18, when he bought his first property: an inner-city apartment. In two years he had doubled his investment in it.
He now splits his time between his investments (which are both residential and commercial property) and his successful catering business Baxters Catering. He has focused on Rent by Room Tenancies (or Boarding Houses) and has over 32 tenancies within the Wellington area.

Outside of business, Hamish enjoys keeping tropical and marine fish, and spending time with his two sons by taking them fishing (not in the tank!), and to basketball.
