The First Home Guarantee scheme is getting a major overhaul with new price caps, scrapped income limits, and no more place limits. Glen, John and Josh de Buelle unpack what the changes mean for first home buyers and whether it’s worth jumping in now or waiting. Then they dive into a real case study of a couple in their mid 20s wanting to purchase an investment property that they can move into later down the track. In this episode:

👉🏽 scheme changes: new price caps, no income limits

👉🏾 pros and cons of buying with just 5% deposit

👉🏼 why strategy must come before any scheme
