    Finding a bargain

    If there is no one offering 420k and I offer 420k, the vendor will still accept it if they are willing to accept that figure. Whether I can afford $450k (or $600k) or not, should be of no consequence. What matters is my offer and vendor's willingness to accept that figure.

    Finding a bargain

    When I approach REA, the first thing I tell them is my requirements including the max. budget. If I tell them I can go upto $500k initially, it doesn't mean that I have lost bargaining power if it comes down to negotiating on a property with asking price of $450k.

    NSW Central Coast market struggling

    Of what I know, Central Coast has higher yields than most Sydney suburbs. There are a few reasons for it. 1. Central Coast has lagged behind in CG, compared to most Sydney suburbs. 2. Relatively more owner-occupier live there, leading to shortage of rental property. 3. Dual-occupancy...

    Buying a car - how much to spend?

    My point wasn't about being able to afford or not. It was about making making correct financial decisions especially IF cars are not your passion!

    Buying a car - how much to spend?

    Neither is your personal situation similar to the OP, nor was I referring to your personal situation. My comments were general comments in response to your supposed point of new vs old. Do you think all cars which aren't new or flashy are toasters?:rolleyes:

    Buying a car - how much to spend?

    It is a vehicle, which takes you from A to B, which is the primary reason of buying a car for most people. Buying that 5 acre McMansion will also be lovely but I won't do it now as it will hamper my investing career. Depends what one enjoys more, financial freedom asap or a flashier car...

    First home buyer

    One should not be averse to buy units in a good area / or where demography consists of small nuclear families or single professionals who prefer living in units close to work. Houses in some of these areas may be very expensive and out of reach anyway.

    Buying a car - how much to spend?

    Cliche New vs Old arguments! We all have different passions. If car is your passion splurge on it, if not save on cars and splurge on something else. Some people keep $6000 cars but splurge on travel. I wouldn't call them a pauper. Some people love art, for others it's a waste. All personal...
