There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — it really depends on your goals. Here are a few ways to think about it:
🔑 Objective 1: If you want to build equity from day one, buying now (rather than waiting) gets you started on the property ladder.
🏡 Objective 2: If you prefer to rent with friends or board with family to keep costs low, you could still buy and start building an investment portfolio in the background.
🌆 Objective 3: Can’t afford to buy where you live, but don’t want to miss out? Consider buying an investment property in a more affordable area to grow equity, with the aim of one day upgrading to your dream home.
💡 And there are more strategies — from buying with family and friends, leveraging government schemes, or simply waiting until you’re financially ready.
👉 The key is to align your decision with your long-term objectives, lifestyle, and finances.
