Thinking about buying your first home but not sure where to start? In this episode, I’m sharing a 10-step action plan to help you get prepared before jumping into the property market. From speaking with a mortgage broker to crafting a solid property strategy, researching the market, and accessing off-market opportunities, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to set yourself up for success.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why speaking to a mortgage broker should be your first step

✅ How the First Home Super Saver Scheme can help boost your deposit

✅ The importance of “pretending” to have a mortgage before you buy

✅ Why a binding financial agreement is crucial if you’re buying with someone else

✅ How to develop a strong property strategy (your why, when, what & how)

✅ The best ways to research the market and stress-test your property brief

✅ The value of inspecting as many properties as possible before buying

✅ Why a buyer’s advocate can help you make a smarter purchase
