    Talk to your parents and sibs.

    See how much assets the family owns.

    Discuss if you want share buying a house, if anyone is up for being a guarantor, if they will help with deposit.

    See how much you can repay every month.

    Organise first home buyer benefits.

    Look at houses that are way less than you can afford. This way you won’t be too stressed.

    Try to buy something built in 60s or 70s, even if it’s in a crappy suburb. Be close to PT, hospitals, schools and parks.

    Aim to live in the house your whole life if possible. Buying and selling , stamp duty, is a terrible waste of money.

    Make sure you have money for maintenance.
