Your pathway from renting to owning — mapped out for you.
Since 1994 we've helped over 1,000 families stop renting and into a home of their own. First home buyer, investor or refinancing — we find the property, sort the finance and guide you to settlement.

Explore refinancing →See what renting is really costing you
Set your weekly rent and a home value, then see it play out over 5 years — the rent you'd hand your landlord versus the tax-free equity your own home could build growing at 7% a year, the long-term average Australian home values have delivered over the past 40 years.
Over 5 years at 7% growth p.a.
What these numbers mean
Renting at $650 a week costs you $169,000 over the next 5 years, and none of it comes back to you. Put those same 5 years into a $700,000 home of your own and it could be worth $981,786 — so $281,786 of value would have built up in your name instead of your landlord's. Side by side, that's a $450,786 difference in where you end up.
One thing to be straight about: owning has costs this doesn't count — loan interest, rates and insurance — and nobody can promise what the market does next. Working out your real numbers is exactly what the free call is for.
Illustrative only. The equity figure assumes a home growing at 7% p.a. compounded over 5 years — the long-run average annual growth in Australian home values over the past 40 years (ABS and CoreLogic data) — and doesn't account for interest, fees, deposit or market movements. Past growth is not a guide to future growth. Your real numbers depend on your circumstances — working them out, honestly, is exactly what our free 5-minute call is for.
We don't guess — we check what's possible for you
Most people assume owning is out of reach because no one has ever actually sat down and run their numbers. We do that first — for free — then build the plan around it.

Real results from real clients
“Clive is an absolute delight to talk with. He and his team patiently walked us through the process and made our entire mortgage journey completely stress-free — from pre-approval to settlement. I would love to give them a hundred stars!🥰🙏”
“What can I say — Clive is amazing. What he says, he does. I never thought someone could show me how to get into my own home, but he did, and he did it easily. You and the team made life so easy. Thanks Jeff, Clive, Jaimee and James!”
“Clive helped my partner and I start our build process and — aside from being handed the keys — working with Clive was the best part. He designed us a house that we love and advised on the best areas to get the most from our investment, which has massively paid off. Highly recommend.”

Common questions
What does Your Property Pathway do?
Your Property Pathway is an Australian property sourcing and finance business that takes people from renting to owning. One team handles both sides of the move, finding the right property and structuring the loan behind it, for first home buyers, property investors and owners refinancing an existing loan. It has operated since 1994 and has helped more than 1,000 families buy.
Which areas of Australia do you cover?
Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia, from Perth across to Melbourne and up the Queensland coast to Cairns. The office is at 2/14 Lavarack Rd, Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast, and the whole process can be run remotely by phone and email.
Do I really need a 20% deposit to buy a home in Australia?
No. The 20% figure is a convention, not a rule. Under the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme (formerly the First Home Guarantee), eligible first home buyers can purchase with a 5% deposit and avoid lenders mortgage insurance, and since 1 October 2025 the scheme has no income cap. Whether it fits you depends on your income, the postcode you would buy in, and the property itself.
What happens on the free 5-minute Pathway Call?
A member of the team checks what is actually possible for you right now: what a lender would realistically lend, whether the suburb you want works, and an honest timeline. There are no documents to gather and no sales pitch. If the timing is not right yet, you get the specific list of things that would change it.
Does checking if I qualify affect my credit score?
No. The Pathway Call is a conversation, not a loan application. No credit check is run and nothing touches your credit file unless and until you decide to proceed.
What does it cost?
The Pathway Call and the initial check cost nothing and carry no obligation. Some families then ask us to help with what comes next, sourcing the property and arranging the finance, and that is how the business is paid. Nobody is pitched on the call itself.
Can you help if I already own a home?
Yes. Alongside first home buyers, we help investors build a property portfolio with a research-backed strategy, and we run free reviews of existing home loans to lower repayments, unlock equity or move off a rate that has crept up.
