This article compares RENTING a home and investing the rest of your money in superannuation vs pursuing the great Australian dream of buying your own principle place of residence. I would like to see an article of Renting a home and investing in Super VS buying IP’s. How does that compare in the long run??

I wouldn’t say you lost your FHOG if you actually used it. I think it was the comment about your “Joint-venture i.e. I only put down $300 of the $1000 deposit and got access to security via the joint venture”
By bringing someone else in on the deal you may not have been eligible to use the FHOG anymore. If you were still able to use it then good for you.

PS. Hope you got rid of the mice!!
