Let’s face it… Home ownership has become a challenge in the past few years.

\\n

Today, we talk about the importance of balancing your income and savings as we dissect an article on how much you need to afford First Home Guarantee – we’re covering the risks of having a low deposit, why you need a buffer, losing money in a rising market, and more!
