Hi team! Thank you so much for your support of First Rung, our first podcast!
The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!

Southern District Health Board deputy chairman David Perez said while some progress had been made since concerns were first raised, there had been a lack of clear management focus.

“The board accepts responsibility for the lack of focus, lack of clarity, and lack of reporting. We’d like to apologise for any harm that it’s caused patients.”

He was responding to the latest in a series of independent reviews and reports highlighting issues like staff tensions, fragmented record-keeping and inadequate capacity, that had caused delays for Southland and Otago patients in need of colonoscopies. Read more here.
