What are your thoughts around property partnerships as a way for average income earners to experience the significant benefits of home ownership and wealth creation through participation in the property market? Whilst I'm being Sydney-centric for the most part, the majority of wage earners cannot qualify or support a traditional P&I mortgage by themselves and generally only start their journey to home ownership when they become part of a "couple". In 2020 a study revealed that the average age of first home buyers in Sydney was around 36 and the number of people reaching retirement with significant mortgage debt had also increased dramatically. For at least 10 years now, I've espoused property partnerships as an essential option for property ownership - share the risk, share the reward and free yourself of the inevitable financial stresses of the future. Your opinions are greatly appreciated.
