On paper the Australian economy is doing fine. Not good, not bad, just okay. Despite that, Brian and Michael are feeling the pinch of a stalling economy and wondered if everyone was feeling that way.

You know what they never taught us in school? How to buy your first home. It’s not just about hidden fees, but the actual process from start to finish. What does that look like? Michael and Brian break it down in a 9-step guide that takes you through the typical process of buying your first home.

The first step is speaking to a broker or your trusted financial professional to put your financial situation into context. How much can you borrow? How can we improve your chance of approval? From there the boys talk about actually ensuring the house you want, is the house you want via inspections and evaluations. When do you pay the deposit? Do I need a lawyer? All these questions and more are answered in this episode of the Finance Show With(out) Joe.
