Well things were ticking along great. We have a new little 5wk old bubs, we have our PPOR and 2 IP's now. I thought I had been doing the right thing by the family by getting some property behind us but these days I feel like iv let them down.
My wife and I have been in our PPOR for 3 yrs now and do not particularly like living here. Its noisy, a little rough and just not us. SO we looked at our options and figured well its more important to be happy in our PPOR than have IP's, as we can get them later if we wish.
HOWEVER, due to the current market and us having not had our property that long plus the 2 IP's being on fixed loans things dont look too rosy at all. It can be done and we could move into a house we would like but it will be costing us considerable money to do it.
I just feel like I got us into property and now I feel a bit bloody stuck in it. May be best to wait it out a yr until wife returns to work again for a few days a week and see how we are looking then. We are just a little worried that property prices go down like those in the states and then we are really stuck. BUT no crystal ball so really no idea how things will pan out.
Its not super bad here but little things annouy me like loud radios, noisy cars up and down the street, and generally alittle rough. No break in etc but just..... you know.
Anyhow thats my rant. Im not going super depressed or anything (oka little, lol) but just thought id throw it out there and see if others have been in a similar spot at all and what the out comes were.
Cheers Jas!
