The rules of the property game just changed and you need to know how.

In this Get Rich episode, Molly is joined by Arjun Paliwal, CEO of InvestorKit, to unpack the big news: the 5% deposit scheme for first home buyers. What does it mean for property prices? Should you buy your first home to live in, or start with an investment property? And where are the growth hotspots in 2025?

We also cover:
The impact of the 5% deposit scheme and new price caps
When buying to live in isn’t the best move
Mortgage vs investment: what should you prioritise?
Why you don’t actually need 8–10 properties to retire comfortably
Key data points to spot growth locations
How kids (yes, really) impact your borrowing power

This is your September, straight-talking property market update to help you make smarter moves in 2025.
