While you wait, the first home buyer guide and the plain-English glossary are worth a look.
Why join
Everyone has an opinion about your first home. Very few of them are accountable for it.
Five minutes, every week
One useful thing per issue. Short enough to read on the train, specific enough to act on.
Plain English, no jargon
LMI, LVR, stamp duty, pre-approval. Explained the way I'd explain them across the table, with examples.
The mistakes, before you make them
Lessons from the buyers I've worked with, shared without names, so you can learn them the cheap way.
Ask me anything
Reply to any issue with your question. The good ones get answered in the next one, anonymously.
