🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟
What happens when your “dream first home” turns into the ultimate financial horror story? Enter Gabby, who found herself tangled in $700,000 of debt, a collapsing relationship, disappearing tenants, and the kind of stress that ages you a decade in six months. In this episode, she shares the rollercoaster of buying a property with her ex - from the excitement of auctions and shiny new builds to the gut-punch of surprise valuations and last-minute scrambles for tens of thousands of dollars. It’s brutal, it’s eye-watering, but it’s also packed with must-know lessons about contracts, worst-case planning, and why you should never assume property ownership is a simple path. Grab a wine (you’ll need it) and get ready to hear how Gabby turned her property nightmare into resilience, wisdom, and a story you won’t forget.
