MECHANIC Luke Everest saved enough cash from fixing-up second hand sport cars in his spare to buy a home.
The 26-year-old from Essex, who works full time repairing HGVs, managed to save £28,000 in three years.
As well as pimping up sports cars, Luke took on overtime at work and stashed away as much as he could.
Now, he owns a two-bed house in Rochester for £185,000 with girlfriend Kayleigh Hilbert, 24.
Luke also benefited by living with his parents, so he paid just £200 in rent and bills. It meant he could put as much as £1,500 a month into savings.
He also made money from nights out by being the designated driver and charging "mates taxi rates" to give his pals a lift home.
We chatted to Luke and Kayleigh for My First Home to find out how they bagged the home of their dreams – and how it ended up being an Instagram hit.
What’s your new home like?
Luke: It’s a two-bed terrace in Rochester and if we're honest, it didn’t wow us when we saw it online.
But it was in the right sort of area for the right price, so we thought we would take a look. Luckily for us it was much better in real life.
