What's inside

Five plays, honestly explained — upside and fine print.

HACK 01 · EARN MORE

Leave Maxing

Your salary keeps landing while you're on paid leave — work somewhere else during that time and you're earning two incomes at once. Three ways to run it, a worked $90k example, and the watch-outs (contract clauses, tax, burnout).

HACK 02 · SAVE MORE

Board Rooming

Become head tenant on a 4-bedder, fill three rooms, and let flatmate rent cover yours — sometimes with change. How to run it clean: consent, pricing, paperwork, screening. Plus the QLD bonus: keep renting rooms out after you buy, from day one, without losing the grant.

HACK 03 · SKIP THE QUEUE

The Guarantor Play

Family equity as security — not family cash. Skip the deposit grind entirely, plus the exit plan for releasing the guarantee and the honest risks for everyone who signs.

HACK 04 · FREE MONEY

Stack the Government Freebies

The $30k grant, $0 stamp duty and the 5% deposit scheme — what each is worth, the eligibility traps, and how they combine. Current at July 2026, with the links to verify before you sign.

HACK 05 · BEAT THE TAXMAN

Super-Charge the Deposit (FHSS)

Save your deposit inside super at 15% tax instead of your marginal rate — the ATO's own scheme, walked through step by step.

Every play includes a timeline — week zero to money banked

Every play includes the watch-outs, not just the upside

Run 2–3 at once and the timeline collapses

One month of rent you stop paying covers this guide four times over.
