🏡 The big advantage of owning rather than renting 🏡⁣
⁣
They say rent money is dead money (unless you're the one collecting it!) 😅⁣
⁣
And while not everyone is in a position to own their own home just yet, a recent Cotality report shows there are still locations where it can be cheaper to buy an apartment than rent. 📊⁣
⁣
In inner Melbourne, and some suburbs in Darwin and the ACT, it can be cheaper to buy, rather than rent, a unit. 🏢⁣
⁣
There can also be minimal differences between rent and loan repayments in parts of Sydney, Adelaide and Perth. ⁣
⁣
But home ownership isn’t just about rent versus mortgage payments. ⁣
⁣
Home owners can also potentially benefit from property price growth, the freedom to add value through renovations, and the personal rewards of saying “I own this”. 🏠⁣
⁣
Talk to us about jumping off the rental merry-go-round and becoming a home owner. 👇⁣

🏡 How much do you really need to buy a first home? 🏡⁣
⁣
These days, you could need a deposit of just 5%, or even 2% if you’re a single parent, to buy a first home. 💰⁣
⁣
For a $700,000 first home, a 5% deposit is $35,000.⁣
⁣
Don’t forget to factor in other upfront expenses such as legal fees, home insurance, and furniture removalists and potentially stamp duty.⁣
⁣
Need help crunching the numbers? That's our specialty. 👇⁣
