Real estate can be tricky especially for first home buyers, and it's easy to feel stuck or lost when trying to buy or invest in property. Without access to reliable guidance, not knowing who to talk to or turn to — it can easily become a struggle to know the right steps to take and the right decisions to make.

Every Wednesday, we hold a weekly campfire for Your First Home Buyer Guide students so they can have direct access to ask us any property-related questions. And in this two-part series, we share some of the questions that we believe resonate with a lot of first home buyers. We break down complex queries into easy-to-understand tips and strategies.

This is for anyone who might feel like they're stuck somewhere along the home buying process, and whether you're new or experienced, we tackle practical solutions to help you succeed. Tune in now and let's get started!
