It was one of those things where I wish I'd read my own book before I entered the property market.

It was really important to me to go out and find people who were finding creative ways to buy entry-level properties.

I'm completely aware that for most millennials, the idea of buying an $800,000 or a $900,000 property as their first property is not feasible.

So I wanted to find people who were buying entry-level investments but finding a way to turn the concept of having a mortgage on its head so that it worked for them.

So Jacob and Brad who bought the barn were a really good example.

It was literally a barn.

It had a dirt floor and exposed insulation when they bought it and they spent some money renovating and they had some handy tradie mates that they could call on and they'd paid $220,000 for that property.

And it's now on Airbnb for $200 a night.

So they're doing really well.

It's a beautiful property.

There's demand for it because it's in Heathcote.

So here in Victoria?

In Victoria, yeah, near Bendigo.

So, you know, it's a wine region close to Bendigo and an easy drive out of Melbourne as a weekender.

But then there were a couple, Lucy and Nathan, they put a house on a truck that was going to be demolished.

The house was in Montalbert in Melbourne as well.

And there are companies, the one that they used I think was called Moving Views, but there are companies that are listing these properties.

There's plenty available now that people can put on a truck and move to a piece of land.

So that was incredible.

That was what would have been a million-dollar house where it was and they put it on a truck and moved it to cheaper land.
