Nobody taught
you this.

Your parents bought 30 years ago. Nobody taught you this stuff at school. And the person you're relying on at the open home? They work for the other side.

That's why 45% of first home buyers regret the property they ended up in. Not because they're not smart — because no one's shown them how the game actually works.
