My appologies for the recent outbreak of new threads...
I'm still no where near the actual buying process, so these concerns may be a little premature.
I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what size loan I am eligible for.
Anyway, I imagine my borrowing power is going to be relatively low.
I live in the south east of melbourne, and would like to purchase around the same area (inner east/bayside area). However I don't think I will be able to afford any houses in this area.
Do you think I should consider appartments/units in this area, or venture further out into a suburb where I can afford housing?
What about one of those sub divided half houses? (not sure on the proper name sorry)
I should also be eligible for the FHOG. However if I were to claim this then I really would prefer to stay as close to my area as possible (work/family reasons).
What do you think I should do?
What would you do?
This is all speculation, but I don't think I would be comfortable borowing more than $300,000 for my first purchase (probably unjustified fear). I'm not sure if I could even get that amount.
Thanks for putting up with all my nonsense.
