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.

What to expect

What you'll get, and what you won't.

You'll get

  • Clear explanations of the costs, terms and steps in buying
  • Questions worth asking your lender, agent and conveyancer
  • Changes to government schemes explained when they happen
  • Early notice of workshops and new guides

You won't get

  • Hot suburb lists or predictions about prices
  • "Buy now before it's too late" pressure
  • Rate tables or sales pitches
  • Your email shared with anyone

Questions
