They explore how borrowing power, lifestyle goals, location, and long-term thinking all play a role in making the right call for your first purchase. The ep touches on:


πŸ‘‰πŸΎ weighing up lifestyle vs long-term capital growth

πŸ‘‰πŸΏ understanding how fast you might outgrow a stepping stone

πŸ‘‰πŸ» checking out your true borrowing comfort zone, not just your limit

πŸ‘‰ renting or trialing the area before committing to buy

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ getting clear on your goals (especially if buying with a partner)
