First Home Owner Grants and Starting Your Portfolio
Season 1 Episode 6
For virgin property investors, the first step is often the hardest. The sheer volume of unsorted information at your fingertips and the conflicting advice it often harbours stuns the novice investor like a deer in headlights. Never-buy-new versus First Home Owner Grant; people end up immobilised with fear and confusion with a growing list of unanswered questions. Is this the right next step for me? What are my options? What are the alternatives? Should I invest or use the First Home Owner Grant? And what even is the First Home Owner Grant?

End quotes:
“To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you’re going to better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.”
