Should you buy property alone, or could purchasing with a partner, family member or someone else help you enter the market sooner?

Buying property with another person can increase your borrowing power, expand your options and make the upfront costs easier to manage. But it also introduces important decisions around financial contributions, responsibilities, expectations and long-term plans.

They discuss the importance of planning before you begin, understanding each person’s role and seeking the right professional advice before making a major financial commitment.
