A determined first step
Buying on a single income can feel like a big step. Ashlei was determined to enter the property market and secure her first investment property, with the support of her mum, Jonita.
A clear idea of the right home
Their brief was a brand-new detached home, with no renovation project, townhouse or unit, and a package that stayed within Ashlei’s budget. They approached Karl to help explore what was possible.
Finding a place in North Brisbane
After considering several locations and options, they chose North Brisbane. Karl helped secure a block directly opposite an estate park, and Ashlei and Jonita worked together to customise the home around their needs and budget.
Looking ahead to handover
At the time the story was supplied, the build was approaching handover. For Ashlei, it represented an investment secured on a single income and a meaningful start to her property journey.
Her mum’s support was part of the journey throughout—a reminder that property milestones are often about the people beside you, as much as the home itself.
