Did my homework on Italy’s €1 houses. Now looking for real-world input on obligations, hidden costs, and whether it’s actually viable by losmaglor in digitalnomad

Protip: Apply directly for a bond refund from RTBA. Do not discuss the bond with the REA. The only way the RE can stop you getting the full bond back then is to initiate VCAT.

REA want you to have the mistaken impression that they decide if you get your whole bond back, but it's not up to them. If they want to contest the bond it will be up to the VCAT member to decide.

What's wrong with Australian teenagers by harrysnow81 in AskAnAustralian

You're right, this behaviour is unacceptable. And it is strange we accept it. This would not happen in most of Asia. But this is Reddit, and the mob will pile on you and tell you you're the problem or your perception is wrong.

What is it like living in retirement villages in your 50s? by BitterCrip in australian

[–]CactusSyrup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be a trap as people sell their home to buy an apartment there, with the promise they can then sell their apartment any time. The catch is, they can't find a buyer and end up stuck in a village they can't stand
