Some of you may know that we're starting our property journey (slowly, as you'll hear in this episode). Today, we're joined by Andre Botes, Head of Digital, Product and Partnerships for Home Loans at ubank. We ask him ALL the questions on our hitlist, including: How can first-time home buyers in Australia determine how much they can afford when considering a home purchase? What’s the process of applying for a home loan? What are the benefits of having a preapproval when searching for a property?

He also goes through all the jargon that you have to face - offset, redraw, LVR, LMI, comparison rates. Hopefully this episode clears up some hot questions for you!
