I guess they expect to be looked after hey. But owning a home is not a RIGHT, but I guess some people see it differently.

It makes sense that prices will keep going up. More people and less and less vacant land in popular areas to build and accommodate these people. So of course the person with the deeper pockets will get what he wants. This cannot get any better with time. What are these complainers expecting...

Yeah I agree!

I know there are a heap of apartments being built in Melbourne. How is that going to effect a house with a 600sqm+ block? If a ton of houses hit the market on new estates (further and further away from the CBD) don't see how that is going to impact established suburbs either. Only...

All this bubble talk is rubbish. I have a few mates who are waiting for this bubble to burst to jump in and buy their PPOR. All that is happening is the price of property is getting further and further away from them. All these so called experts just keep stating the same rubbish year after...

You could possible get into Chelsea Heights (South East) with that budget. This one in Aspendale Gardens if sold for 495K was a terrific buy for someone. Would have bought that in a heart beat for that price. Yes it needs a little bit of work but still very good value...

40% of Melbourne's sewerage gets treated on the corner of Worsley Rd and Thompson Rd. Line of sight this is approximately 3.3km north of CD. I know that people living in Patterson lakes smell it if the wind is blowing the wrong way.

Surprised the real estate agent did not buy it himself and not put it on the market. That is immediately a min 200k profit after all said and done.

Probably for double that at least the way things are being sold there.

Right I understand now.

My problem is that I always thought to buy property and not not have to take out mortgage insurance you need 20% in cash to lay down deposit. One of the reasons I never could get my head around the fact people buying 10+ properties on average wage (where are they getting the deposit cash)...

Governments are hypocrites. If they were well and truly interested in peoples welfare there would be a lot of banned stuff and so they should be. Why are cigarettes still being sold over the counter and laced with poisiounus chemicals just so they burn longer. You really are concerned with...

I did the numbers not long ago and it does add up. Family of 4 with kids aged 3 and 5. 25k per year this is not including loan repayments or if we were paying rent. We don't go out, do not smoke or drink alcohol. Most meals are cooked on the odd exception when we go on a day trip we buy...

Currently my home has a tandem carport that uses one side wall of the house and has the front of it bricked with a garage door. Basically if you look at the house from the front it looks like a garage. But in reality it is missing the side wall on the right which is the fence line and the...

Appreciate the comments very much. No not to o late to check reborrowing options. The 200k will land into account eta 2 months. Just getting all the information ahead of time. That would be awesome if I could borrow a further 800k but I do have 2 young children so it may effect this amount...
