Most people outside of this forum know house prices over the long term do not rise greater than inflation or wage growth. If they did, houses would become un-affordable. Over the long term bubbles form, but they always pop.
While most of you are playing in a pyramid investment scheme and are having fun until the music stops (and there is nothing wrong with that), spare a though for our pensioners.
Their pensions are not going up by the same rate than you are charging for rent. Many are barely clearing their rent repayments with their pensions. Sadly many are committing suicide, rather than asking for help.
Now here is your chance to make a difference. You can Adopt-a-pensioner here : http://adopt-a-pensioner.yourwebspace.com.au.
Alternatively if your tenant is a pensioner, maybe you should consider slashing their rent by half? It will only be short term, as the price of your property should fall over the next two years, to come back in line with normal prices - history says they always well.
So do you bit for the community and help out a pensioner struggling to meet rent payments.
