THE 26-DAY FIRST-HOME BOOTCAMP FOR RENTERS WHO ARE DONE WAITING.
Another year of “maybe next year” doesn’t change anything.
This bootcamp is built to force clarity, momentum, and a real plan for 2026.
In 26 days, you will:
- Unlock your fastest path to your first home
- Identify and address what’s holding you back (knowledge, mindset, finances)
- Be armed/equipped with clear next steps and a defined action path for 2026 and take massive ACTION
When is it?
- 14th January: Kick-off Webinar. Show up. Lock in.
- 19th January: Daily tasks start. One key action a day. Streak or drift.
- 13th February: Finish line. Get your plan. Go get the keys.
Every day you complete one clear action inside the Aera app.
Keep your streak alive and momentum compounds fast.
We’ll drop spot prizes along the way for people who show up and move.Finish strong and one person wins:
THE RENT IS DEAD MOVE-IN PACK: Filled with the stuff you buy when rent is officially dead.
This isn’t motivation.
It’s pressure, structure, and doing the right work long enough to stop guessing.
Head down. Do the work. Get the keys.
Download the Aera app.

• Late joiners aren’t eligible for the Grand Prize
• Late joiners are still eligible for Spot Prizes
Momentum rewards the committed.
For 26 straight days, you:
• Open the Aera app
• Complete one key action a day
• Keep your streak alive
That’s the whole system.
Some days are learning.
Some days are doing.
Some days are “oh, that finally makes sense”.
No overwhelm. Just forward motion.
We don’t make you guess.
Every morning:
•You get a daily email with that day’s tasks.
• Inside the Aera app, everything is ready to go.
Inside the app:
• Daily tasks drop together each morning.
• One key action must be completed to count for the day.
• It’s clearly marked. Impossible to miss.
• The clock resets at midnight.
The rule is simple:
Open the app. Nail the tasks. Keep the streak.
Short, sharp, practical actions like:
• In-app learning blocks
• Social post interactions
• Pong challenges
• Listening to Aera podcasts
• Joining live webinars
Nothing academic.
Nothing hypothetical.
Everything designed to move you closer to owning.
Most days: 5–15 minutes.
Some days include longer sessions (like webinars), but one key daily action must still be completed to stay in the challenge.
This is pressure - not punishment.
The streak tracks whether you completed the required action that day.
It exists because:
• Momentum beats motivation
• Visibility beats intention
• Pressure beats procrastination
This isn’t about being inspired.
It’s about not breaking the chain.
Miss a day, and the streak breaks.
You can still finish the bootcamp.
You just won’t be eligible for the Grand Prize.
No shame. No lectures.
Just consequences.
Yes and they’re not participation trophies.
• Spot prizes dropped without warning to reward momentum.
• One Grand Prize for someone who completes the full streak.
Consistency gets rewarded.
The Grand Prize is a $7,500+ The Rent Is Dead Move-In Pack built for your first night as a homeowner.
It includes:
• $2,000 IKEA voucher to kit out your space.
• 85” Panasonic 4K TV ready to switch on.
• 2-seater sofa + dining suite so you’re not living on boxes.
• Coffee machine + air fryer for day-one fuel.
• Dyson vacuum to keep the place clean from the jump.
Every item is portable, renter-friendly, and sized for real NZ first homes. No fixed fittings. No wasted spend. Just the things people rush to buy the second they get the keys.
Picture your first night. TV on. Couch ready. Coffee in the morning. Done.
