What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Are you a first home buyer? Do you want to know the process of actually making an offer on a property and then all the stages until you get the keys? Well, we're going to walk through that and more and the stuff that you need to do before you even get to that making an offer stage. This episode is for first home buyers, for people that want to buy a home for the first time to live in. If you've already bought a home and you're thinking about buying another property, you might still learn some stuff. Or can you have a listen and see if you can pick up some things that you might be able to learn to then tell someone in your life about the process to you could even forward this episode to them. This episode is also being played on the This Is Property show, which is also on YouTube.
But more than anything, we are talking about the quick start guide to your first property. And with my co-author, Rach Kroon. Rach, thank you so much for writing a book with me.
What an experience.
Well, did I write it with you?
We wrote it together.
We wrote it together. But the quick start guide to your first property, please... Don't buy one, buy two. One for yourself, one for a friend or family member because a book can be the best gift.
What should first home buyers do before starting their property search?
And honestly, with all the stuff that's been going on over the last few months with the budget changes, the tax changes and all that stuff, there's really not much we need to change in here at all because this book is just so fantastic. factual on the process of buying your first home, either to live in, which we're going to talk about today, or as an investment property, if you want to rent somewhere and invest somewhere else. So there's a link in the show notes and the descriptions. Buy a couple of copies. They'll get sent pretty much straight away. And I'm looking forward to having a chat with Rach Kroon today. My name is Glenn James, and you are listening to Money, Money, Money. Before we get into it, this show is general advice only.
I've got a license to provide that advice. Full details can be found in the show description. My name's Glen James, former financial advisor. I host this show and a show called Retire Right. I've got some books, the award-winning Quick Start Guide to Investing and the Quick Start Guide to Your First Property available where good books are sold or in the description. If you're new here, welcome. If you're an old hand, welcome to M3. Let's get into it right now.
All right. So I guess I think when we talk about the buying process, a lot of people start with looking at properties and making offers. What do you think is the most important thing to do before you get to that point?
I'm thinking I want to maybe at the top of this episode, we'll go through the actual buying process. There's a figure in the book and we'll pop it on the screen now just so everyone can see. And it kind of just steps out the process of buying a property, whether it is to live in or an investment because the property is the same. The property doesn't know if it's a house or an investment property. I was thinking maybe asking you the key things that you've experienced on each step. But like the first step is to make an offer and negotiate. That's fine. What do you reckon the main things that we need to make sure that we've nailed before we start putting offers in and negotiating?
Yeah, so I think that – A common first home by mistake is to get out to look at properties and start to make offers before doing two things. And the one thing is to talk to a bank or a broker about getting your pre-approval in place so you understand everything about your finance side of the transaction before you start looking at properties. And the other one, which is very state-specific, is to have an appointment with your conveyancer or solicitor. So that's the person that has to be in the same state as you that act on your behalf from the legal side of a property. And I think it's really important for first home buyers, especially, to get a game plan about how to negotiate on property before they actually go out and start to deal with things like open homes and real estate agents.
