Specifically, we explore a real-life story where a HECS debt nearly derailed a first home buyer's purchase, shedding light on the crucial lessons to be learned.
Throughout the discussion, we bring up some of the common blunders such as relying heavily on a broker without fully understanding all the associated costs, feeling the pressure to buy due to outside influences, and underestimating the financial cushion needed for unexpected expenses. Our aim is to provide practical insights to help you steer clear of these pitfalls when it's your turn to enter the housing market.
Don't let avoidable mistakes stand in the way of buying your first home—tune in to understand the importance of following the right process. Let's dive in!
