Can’t Afford Your Dream Home? Try This.

FOMO is out, and COMO is in. In this episode, Bryce and Ben unpack the rise of COMO – “Compromise or Miss Out” – and why it’s becoming the reality for many Aussies trying to get onto the property ladder. They share the story of Tim, a 31-year-old digital marketer earning a six-figure income who couldn’t crack the Sydney property market. Instead of giving up, he moved to regional Queensland, slashed his expenses, saved $100K in a year, and completely changed his financial future. This conversation dives deep into how you can apply the same mindset. From prioritising what really matters, to being strategic about location, lifestyle, and affordability – it’s all about getting clear on your goals and taking action. Whether it’s through rentvesting, downsizing expectations, or exploring creative entry points, Bryce and Ben show that the Great Australian Dream isn’t dead… it just looks a little different in 2025. 🎧 Watch or listen now and learn how to turn compromise into opportunity. *Timestamps:* 00:00 – FOMO is out, COMO is in 00:44 – What COMO means for today’s buyers 01:30 – Tim’s story: from Sydney to saving $100K 02:22 – Why compromise can be the smartest move 03:01 – The four areas you’ll need to weigh up 04:14 – Price, location, and lifestyle trade-offs 05:50 – The psychology behind big homes and lifestyle choices 06:53 – Understanding what truly matters when you buy P.S.
