'Buying a property isn't easy. It's not meant to be. It's one of
the biggest financial decisions you'll make in your life. But it is
worth it . . . it's hard, there will be shit bits, but it's not
impossible.' At thirty, journalist Nicole Haddow had unstable
income, no financial plan and only credit-card debt to her name.
But less than two years' later she was a home-owner. In Smashed
Avocado, Nicole explains the steps she took to purchase her own
home, alongside detailed case studies of other people who have
found ways to enter the property market. She shares practical tips
from financial planners, mortgage brokers, buyers' agents,
real-estate agents and other property experts, and the acquired
wisdom of a new generation of homeowners - down to the
micro-details. She even thrashes it out with Bernard Salt, the man
who said young people should stop splashing out on expensive
brunches if they want to own their own home. Buying property
remains a worthwhile investment, and young people are inventing
innovative ways of achieving it, including rentvesting, flipping,
Airbnb, tiny homes, buying regionally and more. Nicole's story is
inspiring and optimistic - but, most importantly, it's
realistic.The home ownership dream might look different today, but
it's still possible to make it a reality.
