Is your first home a good investment — or just a place to live? In this episode, Meighan and Veronica unpack the fundamentals of property investing that every first home buyer needs to understand, whether you’re buying to live in it or planning to rent-vest.You’ll learn why thinking like an investor from day one can set you up for long-term financial success — and why not all “investment properties” are created equal. The duo break down the difference between investment-grade properties and investor stock, and reveal the simple rule that could save you from buying a shiny new dud: If it’s easy to buy, it’s probably hard to sell.They also dig into the biggest wealth-building mistake first home buyers make — chasing yield instead of capital growth — and explain why land value matters more than the building on it. You’ll hear how local knowledge, scarcity, and buyer competition drive capital growth, and why “the fundamentals” look different in every suburb.If you’ve ever wondered how to tell a great investment from a risky one, or what truly drives long-term growth, this episode is your blueprint.Listen now and learn how to make your first home a smart investment — not just a purchase.Episode Highlights00:00 — Introduction to Property Investment01:16 — Understanding the PACE System03:29 — Investment Grade vs. Investment Stock06:24 — The Importance of Capital Growth09:16 — Land Value vs. Building Value14:26 — Red Flags in Property Investment16:21 — Key Factors for Assessing Property18:27 — Evaluating Homes and Local Traffic Challenges19:56 — Understanding Demographics and Socioeconomic Factors21:29 — Rentability and Property Potential23:49 — Supply and Scarcity in Real Estate25:42 — Affordability and Investment Fundamentals30:50 — The True Cost of Property Ownership32:37 — Final Thoughts and Advice for Home BuyersCourse Details:THE First Home Buyer Course is our Step-By-Step, No BS Guide to Every Stage of The Home Buying Process – It’s the next best thing to having your own buyer’s agent.
