The Australian Guide to Buying Your First Home: How to Increase Your Income, Manage Your Mortgage and Get Debt-Free

Discover how to achieve financial flexibility with this blueprint for homeownership and worry-free living

Robbo Roper (aka the Aussie Mortgage Guy) is here to show you how to get out of the rental trap, get your finances sorted and buy your first (or next!) home. The Australian Guide to Buying Your First Home is not a step-by-step guide to living in a beachside mansion with a $15-million property portfolio. Instead, it is an essential real-world companion for taking control and getting into your new home faster. You'll learn how to increase your income (and borrowing power) and buy the ideal property for whatever stage of life you're in. Better still, you'll get valuable advice on how to manage and pay off your mortgage sooner.

Owning your own home creates a safe haven for you and your family. Your home is not only a valuable financial investment that builds long-term wealth. It's also a place to make cherished memories and truly flourish. A home is about creating stability and a lasting legacy for you and your loved ones. At the end of the day, finding your own home is about building a happy, balanced life.

Inside, Robbo brings together the advice that has made him Australia's most-followed financial content creator. You'll discover how to:

- Set your goals, reduce your expenses and boost your income so you can get into your first home faster - Determine your borrowing power and create an action plan for savings, loans and schemes, and taxes - Find a home that balances what you need with what you can afford - Pay off your mortgage and become debt-free sooner

Learn from everyday Aussie success stories and get the strategies you need to reach your goal of home ownership sooner. The Australian Guide to Buying Your First Home is an indispensable handbook for assessing affordability, setting realistic goals and taking control of your future.
