I Saved $25k By Walking Away From This Property Deal⎥Ep. 2166
Will and Dawn’s first home journey didn’t go quite as planned — but it ended up saving them $25,000.
In this episode, they reveal how they secured their Dunedin home for the First Home Grant limit of $500,000, even after initially walking away from the deal.
We also dive into how redundancy shook their early homeownership journey, and the lessons they learned about emergency funds, income growth, and future investment planning.
You’ll learn:
- How walking away from a property deal can strengthen your negotiating position
- The reality of facing redundancy just months after buying a home
- Their strategy to move from first-home owners to hands-off property investors
