The home ownership dream might look different today, but there are inventive ways to make it a reality.

'Buying a property isn't easy. It's not meant to be. It's one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make in your life. But it is worth it . . . it's hard, there will be shit bits, but it's not impossible.'

At thirty, journalist Nicole Haddow had unstable income, no financial plan and only credit-card debt to her name. But less than two years' later she was a home-owner.

In Smashed Avocado, Nicole explains the steps she took to purchase her own home, alongside detailed case studies of other people who have found ways to enter the property market. She shares practical tips from financial planners, mortgage brokers, buyers' agents, real-estate agents and other property experts, and the acquired wisdom of a new generation of homeowners - down to the micro-details. She even thrashes it out with Bernard Salt, the man who said young people should stop splashing out on expensive brunches if they want to own their own home. Buying property remains a worthwhile investment, and young people are inventing innovative ways of achieving it, including rentvesting, flipping, Airbnb, tiny homes, buying regionally and more.

Nicole's story is inspiring and optimistic - but, most importantly, it's realistic.The home ownership dream might look different today, but it's still possible to make it a reality.

An enjoyable and easy read on breaking into the property market. Appreciated the honesty of how hard it was though it did make me feel at times is it worth it with the toll it took on the author’s mental health

Good if you've got money

Reviewed in Australia on 6 January 2021

It is a useful book for laying out the different steps of buying a house, and different ways to go about it. Its just the rest of it isn't relevant unless you've got a disposable income that you're wasting. If you don't have an easy $2000 a month that you can divert from spending at the pub to saving for a house this might not be for you.

An excellent entry into the process of buying a house in Australia

Reviewed in Australia on 23 January 2022

Given how I got this book as part of Amazon Prime perks, I really wasn’t expecting much. Yet, it turned out to be a good, informative and encouraging read that will help push you into taking action.

While the book starts off and goes in and out of the author’s journey in home ownership, it also manages to give you information that is beyond a “tip” but insightful enough that will help you find out more on your own.

It’s also encouraging that the author has included many different experiences of other home owners and their journey, with different scenarios that will help expose you to the many different possibilities.

It’s a worthwhile read, especially for millennials and women.
