anyone looking to buy their first home
no matter what stage you're at in your buying journey
When and why should you buy a property?
Creating a property strategy starts with the WHEN and the WHY. Buying a home is a huge decision and commitment, so it's important to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. Being both financially and emotionally ready is essential before you buy. I tackle the biggest first buyer fears and how to overcome them.
Module One
Module Two
How much does it cost to buy a property?
I break down all of the costs involved in buying a property, and run through the pros and cons of different deposit amounts. This module runs through the different first home buyer grants, schemes and concessions so you can understand exactly what you're eligible for.
Module Three
Your property support team
Having a great support team is an essential part of the property buying process! This included your mortgage broker, conveyancer/solicitor, building inspector, friends and family, and potentially a buyers agent. I explain what they do, how to find them and what questions to ask.
Module Five
YOUR PROPERTY STRATEGY
In this module I explore how to put your property strategy together, which is your 'why, when, what and how'. It's absolutely vital to have a property strategy before you start looking at properties, and more importantly - making sure your strategy is realistic and achievable.
Module Six
RENTVESTING
Rentvesting is buying a property and leasing it out, and continuing to rent elsewhere (or keep living with your parents). How does it work and could it be the right strategy for you? I explain property investing 101 and the key considerations if you're considering being a rentvestor.
Module Eight
Finding a property
This is the easy part, right?! Not quite! In this module I run through my top tips for searching for properties online, and how to find elusive (but exciting) off market and pre market properties. If you're not getting access to these properties you're potentially missing out on lots of opportunities!
Module Nine
Property inspections
The fun part! Now that you're ready to inspect properties, what are they key things to look out for? Not only inside the property but outside the property, in the local area, and within the contract. I deep dive further into my '100 things to look out for at a property inspection' checklist and tell you what to say (and what not to say!) to real estate agents.
Module Ten
Doing your due diligence
It's crucial to do all of your due diligence when purchasing a property. But what does this mean? I explain how to appraise a property and figure out what it's worth, the conveyancing process and what to expect in contracts, building inspections, strata research and council checks.

If you wish you could….
Buying a property is right up there with one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions one might make in their lifetime and making an error in judgement or overlooking critical due diligence can be costly and have long-term financial impacts. Why risk it?
The internet has a huge amount of free information, sure. But with The First Home Guidebook you’re guaranteed to be learning from a reputable source, with the latest information, from someone who buys houses for a living. No more piecing together information - it’s a proven roadmap that I use every single day to purchase 2 - 3 properties per week.
Why do I need this?
If you’re interested in my buyer’s advocacy services for the inner suburbs of Melbourne, please reach out via www.amylunardi.com.au for more information
about services and fees.
Buyer’s advocacy services can come with an investment of around $15 - $20k which isn’t always accessible for first home buyers managing a tight budget. My intention with The First Home Guidebook is that it fills the need for a buyer’s advocate, but at a much more accessible rate.

What's your refund policy?
This is entirely up to you as the course is self-paced! Depending on your individual timeline to purchasing a property, you could smash it out over a few days or take your time. For optimal learning, I strongly suggest giving yourself time to digest each module before moving on and ensuring you fully understand the content before moving on. If you have any questions let me know!
How long will it take me to get through the content?
We all know the internet is awash with “experts” and it can be really hard to know which sources are credible. Sure, there’s some really useful resources out there but it can be difficult to piece it all together to know the step by step process. The First Home Guidebook takes out all of the guesswork and is the definitive resource for first home buyers - everything you need to know in one spot, from a credible and experienced source. You’ll also access information that isn’t readily available on the internet with The First Home Guidebook. It doesn’t just cover HOW to buy a property, but also dives deep into the psychology of home buying which is equally as important and can help with decision making, avoiding procrastination and overcoming fears
What's the benefit of learning from an industry expert vs gathering free info from the internet?
It’s totally natural to feel nervous about investing your money - which is 100% why you need this course in the first place! To support your property-buying journey which is a massive financial and emotional decision. I’m confident this course will save you money in the long run in a myriad of ways whether it be helping you buy a property faster, not wasting money on unnecessary building inspections, avoiding costly mistakes in buying a property, or giving you an edge in negotiations.
The First Home Guidebook is designed to build your knowledge base so you can buy property with confidence, avoid making errors and reduce stress whilst saving you time - you can’t put a price on that!
I'm nervous about investing in the course while I'm trying to save. Will it be valuable?
I’m confident the course will teach you something (or probably many things) which you don’t already know. Even if you think you know what you’re doing, it’s super useful to cross-check your information with a professional expert to ensure there are no gaps in your knowledge and ensure you’re not missing anything.
What if I don’t need all the content / I know what I’m doing?
It’s all yours to access for as long as you need it, and it can be super handy to refer back to for the purchase of your second property :)
How long do I have to access the course?
We appreciate you respecting the terms and conditions by agreeing not to share the course. However if you’d like to refer a friend please let me know!
Can I share it with a friend?

Let’s acknowledge the internet is full of “experts” - some more credible than others. I created The First Home Guidebook as a one-stop destination for aspiring home-buyers out there because, quite frankly, there is a serious lack of reputable information available when you consider what a massive financial decision buying a house is and the potential long-term fallouts that come with making mistakes.
I’m really proud to share The First Home Guidebook with you, and can’t wait to hear about your future purchase!
I have my own boutique buyer’s advocate agency, Amy Lunardi Property and across 10 years in the industry I’ve guided well over 1000 home buyers, investors and vendors through their property journeys as:
As a buyer's agent, my job is to help people buy homes. On average I buy 2-3 properties per week for my clients, which is more than many people purchase in their entire lifetime!
Every day I'm creating strategies for buyers, searching for properties (including off-market properties), doing inspections, appraising properties, speaking to agents, doing due diligence, negotiating, bidding, problem solving, and essentially being a property concierge (and sometimes a councillor!) for my clients. My clients purchase within 6 weeks on average, and almost a third of these properties are 'off market'.
I'm conscious that not everyone can afford to work directly with a buyers agent, which is why I created The First Home Guidebook.
The number one question you’re probably asking right now is… who am I and why should you listen to me?
Hey, I’m Amy!
