Asking my girlfriend mortgage questions – Part 8 😂🏡

Today’s question:
How much do you actually need saved to buy your first home?

She was closer than she thought 👀
And here’s the truth — you usually don’t need as much as people think.

Buying your first home is more about strategy than a magic savings number.

That scary “Transfer Duty” line on your invoice 😳🏡

I see this all the time — clients panic when the conveyancer sends an invoice with a huge amount listed as transfer duty.

Good news 👇
That’s just stamp duty.
And it’s already been factored into your purchase — either from your savings or built into the loan if you have a guarantor.

No nasty surprises. Just confusing wording.

What that means 👇

A lot of first home buyers think HECS = no chance.
That’s rarely true.

Yes, HECS is assessed.
But for most Adelaide buyers, it’s not as bad as you think — especially when structured with the right lender.

Before you write yourself off, get the numbers checked properly.

Today’s question:
What hurts your borrowing power when buying your first home?

She said car loans and student debt — spot on ✅
But here’s the one that surprises most people 👇
👶 Every dependent can reduce borrowing power by around $60,000

Buying a home first vs starting a family first can make a massive difference.

Education… but make it fun.
