Start Here: Which Property Goal Should We Do First?
In this Start Here episode, Canna answers a powerful question from a couple in their late forties who are almost mortgage-free and dreaming of three exciting goals:

1️⃣ Building a granny flat to rent out
2️⃣ Buying a small apartment overseas
3️⃣ Purchasing a two-bedroom investment unit in Australia

With $30,000 remaining on their mortgage, full-time incomes, and $180k in super (but none for the husband), they want to know:
What’s the smartest order to pursue these goals, how can each one generate rental income, and how should they start saving?

This episode covers:

🔹 Why clarity, timelines and personal values matter
🔹 The importance of strengthening superannuation — especially when there’s a gap
🔹 Why international tax advice is essential before buying overseas
🔹 The pros and cons of:
 • A granny flat
 • An overseas lifestyle property
 • An Australian investment property
🔹 How to prioritise these goals strategically
🔹 Practical steps to save, prepare and build financial confidence
🔹 The power of becoming debt-free before expanding
🔹 How to “dress rehearse” future mortgage repayments
🔹 Why automation and emergency savings are non-negotiable

Canna also explains the sequencing that often works best for couples with similar goals — starting with the income-producing asset that strengthens your financial base and makes the later dreams possible.

This is a grounded, empowering conversation about building wealth intentionally, understanding the risks, and shaping a future that aligns with your values and timelines.
