Minimum wage, no help and on the ladder at 25: here's how they did it
I loved talking to Courtney Mason about how she and her husband ben bought their first home. It really offers a lot of hope for folks who might be looking at the property market and wondering what on earth is happening out there these days.
Courtney and Ben were tenacious and bold, and now they're living happily in their Hawke's Bay home.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
