    Hello,

    I am about to purchase my first home. I work in Sydney most of the time during the week however return to Brisbane on weekends.

    I am looking to purchase my first home which will be my PPOR. I am looking to build and therefore would like to apply for the FHOG.

    Due to time constraints a broker who can help me out over email would be preferred. I am looking for a broker either Sydney or Brisbane based in case I do need to meet face to face at some point.

    Any recommendations?

    TIA

    I'll second Jess's recommendations. @Michael_X is also great (he, like me, is from Sydney and now QLD based).

    There's no shortage of brokers around here.

    Do you have a job to go to in Bris?

    Cheers

    No, I was based in Brisbane but have a job which is based at a Sydney office so I am Sydney based most weekdays. I travel back to Brisbane on weekends where my partner etc still resides.

    I still class my Brisbane address for which I am a leaseholder as my permanent residential address.

    If your work isn't based in Brisbane you might have a difficult time trying to get an owner occ loan for a property that's in a different state to where you work.

    Cheers
