Case Study

Elise and Drew, a young couple—a bricklayer and a nurse in their mid-30s—initially approached me with the idea of purchasing an apartment in Melbourne. They felt priced out of the Sydney market and saw Melbourne as their only option.

However, after sitting down together, we carefully ran the numbers and devised a comprehensive plan. By leveraging a guarantor, we were able to eliminate the need for Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI), which significantly reduced their upfront costs. We focused on finding properties under $800k, allowing them to take advantage of stamp duty exemptions. After five months of searching, Elise and Drew successfully secured their property, proving that with the right strategy and persistence, even challenging markets can offer great opportunities.
