Meet Pay Love

Episode 8 - Home *is* where the heart is... but how do I afford one!?


Listen Later

It’s the Australian dream, right? A spouse or partner, two kids, a house in the ‘burbs with a yard, with prawns cooking on the barbie. Maybe that idyllic picture isn’t for everyone, but for those who do want it -  prices are pushing the property dream further and further out of reach. Plenty of young Aussies are looking at their bank balances, and thinking, 'How am I ever going to scrape together a deposit without a second income to cushion the blow?'


In this episode, Zoe and Carmel look at the challenges in place to buy a house, whether you’re single or loved up. They hear from our wider community about their experiences buying their first house, talk about their different perspectives, before interviewing John Fisher, who runs a Mortgage Broking Business in Sydney. He talks about the options available to you, the things to be aware of when accepting monetary gifts for homes, and the other hidden costs you need to be aware of when preparing to buy your first home.
