overview.
Dad's pick of three Brisbane suburbs where a first home buyer can get in with a deposit around $23k. Move-in-ready places, the full numbers on each, and how Queensland's no-stamp-duty rule for first home buyers stretches it further.
Dad — John Kefalianos, finance broker and property developer — runs the Brisbane numbers with me, the same way he does for first home buyers in his office.
