Bull. I had a go at you for suggesting it is harder for singles then it is for married people to buy into the canberra market. Because that is utter crap. I then (in the same post) suggested that you need to 'rethink', and find another way to go about buying into the canberra market. I...

I have never changed my position on anything - reread all my post throughout this entire thread and point out to me where you think I contradicted myself: I am more then happy to clarify and even admit if I am wrong! :eek: :D

If you cann't afford to borrow that much, DON"T. Figure out what you can afford to borrow, and then work with that. It may be you can afford something, provided that you rent it out and don't live in it yourself. It might be that you look for a little one or two bedroom unit in QBN or...

Actually, some people do just that - try checking out allhomes. Tell that to IMB who have just recently approved us for a 97% LVR. Plus talk to a few brokers, there are more and more financial institutions coming back to these high LVR's. PPOR - stamp duty is likely to be minimal if at all...

Trying to find a polite way to say "rubbish". ;) Firstly,Yes prices have increased in the past three years. Not debating that. Incomes have also increased - albeit not for everyone, but cetainly for the public servants living here. But the part I take issue with is that 'married couples'...

lol - because QBN and Tugger's are both sssooo far out! It amazes me how canberran's are never willing to travel outside of their immediate surroundings. :rolleyes: I have a friend who lives in Belconnen, has lived in canberra her whole life and hasn't ever been to tuggeranong! :eek: It's...

Meh... You get stupid designs everywhere, and I have actually been in these town houses and seen this design (or one similar) it actually isn't 'that' bad in reality, and it allows for a downstairs toilet - the only other option would have been to take the downstairs loo out altogether...

Just thought I would let you know that I most definitely didn't buy 'pre-boom'. I have only lived in canberra for the last 4.5yrs, and have only been a home owner for about 2yrs. I am in my 20's (gen Y). I am a SAHM, with 3 kids. I didn't get any 'help' financial or otherwise from...

Care to expand on 'why'? :confused: I obviously disagree myself, owning a PPOR and currently building my IP here. But I would like to know your point of veiw and why.

I did notice a couple of caravans, but didn't see any tents myself. Personally, there is so much development going on all around canberra, I wouldn't sleep out in the cold hoping to get a block at forde. I take my chances and wait. Or rather then buy a block seperately myself, approach a builder...
