Hi everyone, I've been going through the ABS 2011 Census data to try and create some useful maps for property investors and I've created sets of maps for the five major Australian cities showing how much renters are paying. Hopefully, this will help you get an idea as to where it would be...

Hi, If I rent out my PPOR (3BR), can I convert the loan to IP and use it for negative gearing? I am then intending to rent something smaller for myself for 1/3 of a price what my current repayments are. Or is it better to share 2BR out? Would that work? Cheers,

The house from the classic Australian film, The Castle, is up for rent.
