First, let's talk about deposits. Did you know the rules around conditional offers and cooling-off periods vary state by state? We break it all down, from what happens if conditions aren't met to why having a good solicitor is non-negotiable. Seriously, don't sign anything without advice—your deposit might depend on it.

Next, we dive into rentvesting. For some, it's the perfect solution, but is it the right fit for you? Especially if you're further along in life and buying your first home, we talk about how to weigh up living where you want versus making a smart investment. And spoiler: the right answer depends on what really matters most to you.

Finally, we tackle the A-grade versus B-grade property debate. Should you go for a top-tier asset, even if it means tighter finances? We chat about when it's worth stretching your budget, what makes a property truly "A-grade," and why overcapitalising on a renovation in the wrong location is a big no-no.
