   How to Buy a House in Your 20s With Gabby

   In this Episode, Rikki invites her friend Gabby onto the pod to talk about buying a house. We all know that in this current climate buying a house is difficult for most Australians, but it is still important to learn the basic process for purchasing a property.

We discuss ways to save money (even when you don't earn the big bucks), the process of buying a house, and a whole heap of tips and tricks. At Unconventional Advice we acknowledge the financial difficulties of most Australians at this time and this podcast is for educational purposes and suggests tips/tricks if you are lucky enough to be in the financial position to buy.
