Home buyers who have been given grants commonly want to utilise every cent and purchase the best property, as they should.

However, what most fail to realise is that there's more to it than buying the first brand new house that catches their eye.

In today's episode, we talk about using grants to purchase land and property by sharing a case study on "Anna". From potential pitfalls to misleading incentives, from dealing with real estate agents to setting yourself up for a successful purchase, we share what you need to know to do it right.
