  • First Home Buyer Q&A: Grants, Budgets, Timing, Terrace Houses, and $600k Sydney Options
    2025/02/18

    Another round of first-home buyer Q&A—because the questions keep coming! We’ve pulled some great ones from our Facebook group, and as always, there’s no simple yes-or-no answer. So we’re breaking them down properly, giving you the context, the nuances, and the real talk you need to make the best decisions.

    This time, we’re tackling terrace houses—are they worth it? Plus, the best way to use grants, whether it’s smarter to stretch your budget or stay comfortable, and what you can actually buy in Sydney for $600K (spoiler: not a lot, but there are options!). We also get into investment strategies, borrowing tips, and the common traps first-home buyers fall into.

    If you’re weighing up your options and trying to make sense of it all, this episode will help you think things through and make the right call for your situation.

    Episode Highlights:

    00:00 - Introduction

    02:14 - Meighan’s special house of the week

    03:01 - Are terrace houses worth it?

    07:38 - Should I use first-home buyer grants or buy straight as an investor?

    13:32 - Should we stretch our budget or stay under the first-home buyer scheme limit?

    18:08 - Should I buy an investment property under $800k or hold off for a better opportunity?

    24:37 - Where to buy an owner-occupied property in Sydney with a $600K budget?
