Want to know ways to get on the property market in Aotearoa New Zealand, this is the book to read!
I was wondering if my next big life move was to travel or look at buying a house and I can happily say this book will be so helpful when I make that decsion. It opened a door and gave me a peak into the process of buying a house and infroming me of things that I was unaware of before.
I would 100% recommend for anyone who is wanting to buy a home but isn't sure where to start, because this book is easy to read and full of great information that would definetly act as a go to guide throughout the process.

A great start for people interested in the homeownership pathway. Has some clear introductions to essential concepts but feels lacking in practical tools to make for a more tangible and personal purchase plan. The checklists were great additions, but I would have liked to see more tangible tools like these to put the concepts into practice.

Pretty much all the case studies involved people being gifted significant sums of money from family, being able to stay with family rent free in order to save, or having a partner and dual incomes to draw on. Or, just find a partner that's rich!
It's so easy when you know how.
I think I learnt maybe 3 new things about the process from this book. It did not fill me with hope.
