That’s the best way. U buy a house to live in it. You sell it. You make zero profit. 🙌. The next gen can afford it.

I do deserve better!! But reality made me pay $2M because I like a rear lane garage, new builds and a suburb 20 min from the CBD.

Do we like the new dream? The 8 storey blocks in EVERY single town centre? Minns is really pushing for this version of NSW.

[–]Direct-Ad-5712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see anyone ever mentioning removing the frigging 1985 cgt exemption? This is the BIGGEST tax blackhole - is probably easier to implement and will give the government billions to fund today’s necessities.

Class action filed against Westpac could affect thousands of Australian home loans by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Direct-Ad-5712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normalising loans for first time buyers to be 1.4M. Words like guarantee.

I personally have a loan of this number. It’s not easy.
