We talk about the dangers of short hold periods, why holding onto a property for longer (ideally around that 10-year mark) gives you a much better chance of riding out market dips, and how certain areas, like Melbourne Inner, Parramatta, and Ryde, are seeing rising rates of loss-making sales. Spoiler alert: units, particularly off-the-plan ones, are a major culprit here.

We also get into the psychology of selling; why people are often forced to sell too early due to life changes, fear, or financial pressure, and how that can lead to big losses, especially in oversupplied markets. And yes, we even touch on why buying brand new with government grants might not be as clever as it sounds. It's a classic case of good marketing, poor outcomes.

Our goal is to help you avoid being one of those awful statistics. We've seen it too many times, first home buyers who do all the right things, and still end up worse off because they didn't have access to the right information. So if you're serious about making smart decisions, this one's for you.
