BUY NOW. I never advocate waiting to buy: I don't think anyone ever got ahead by waiting.

Of course it can be difficult initially to break into the property market, and some people find it hard to ask for help. They don't know who to believe, what advice to take and what will work for them. New clients come to me and share their frustration: they feel they've done everything they can and are still getting nowhere. They're working long hours and not spending enough time with the kids. They have a home, but they've got a big mortgage on it, and they're trying to work out how they're ever going to pay it off before retirement. Because, let's face it, if it's going to take you 30 years to pay it off, how will you ever be able to afford your dream home?

Even clients who own a really nice property feel like they're stuck. One I recall was living in the Sydney suburb of Burraneer, quite close to where I live. He had a beautiful house, but the $1.8 million mortgage on it was killing him.

After coming to me for advice, he sold that beautiful home and moved into a rental so he could invest his equity into doing some developments. I helped him build a duplex, which he's making a huge profit on. Now that client is looking towards his next development.

And best of all, he's now living debt-free.
