Building and pest reports are one of those things that can completely spook a first home buyer, and we’ve seen it happen time and time again. You get the report back, and suddenly it feels like everything’s falling apart. But here’s what we’ve learned after decades in the business: red flags in property inspections are only red flags if you don’t know how to interpret them.

What could possibly go wrong on the day you’re supposed to finally get the keys to your new home? More than you think.

Buying your first home can feel like a lot, especially when you’re trying to figure it all out on your own. In this episode, we take you inside a real coaching session with one of our students who’s in the thick of it, asking smart questions and facing some pretty common challenges. This is exactly the kind of conversation we have each week inside our program, and we’re sharing it because we know so many of you will relate.

In this episode, we’re joined by mortgage broker Andrew Wheatley to talk about the one big mistake we keep seeing first home buyers make: getting stuck on staying under the grant or concession thresholds.

How do we deal with some of the quirkiest first-home-buyer dilemmas? In this episode, we’re answering real questions from our Facebook group; like whether it’s a bad idea to buy next to a substation, what to do when we’re weighing up LMI and rentvesting, and how to make sense of strata reports when there’s not a lot to go on. It’s all the stuff that doesn’t always have a black and white answer, but definitely deserves a proper chat.
