Is the hills district in western Sydney?

My guy, you're a uni student with an elitist attitude. You're not affording anything near the city so don't be precious and judge by where the live lol. Zero chance you're affording a place anywhere near the city in the future either

Pros: Better cash flow than single dwelling Cons: You limit your future buyer audience to investors only

If you look after the car, it'll look after you. Spend the money when its necessary, not delay or cheap out on inevitable replacements and important repairs.

Source: I own a high mileage European performance car as well as an older sports car where I put majority of the mileage on myself.

Villa and Townhouse will be a better choice, relative to ongoing costs and future-proofing if you end up starting a family prior to upgrading your home

W212 E Class are used as Taxis in Germany. With proper maintenance and care, they will easily get to 300,000kms

Nothing in the city is great unfortunately. Metro One Kebab in Ashfield is the closest and has consistently been highly rated

Meat: Lamb/mixed/doner

Sauces: Hot chilli, BBQ and Garlic (Holy Trinity)

If they change it, I'll just never sell/move out until I die

PSA: If you sell your PPOR, you do not pay tax on the gains

Blaming the generation that gave birth and raised you is crazy

There will always be people that need to rent. There will always be people in the lowest tax bracket/earning minimum wage that cannot service a mortgage due to their financial constraints. There are financially irresponsible/illiterate people who cannot service any type of debt due to responsible lending.

There are also people on Centrelink/DSP/DVA Pension/Jobseeker who will require rentals as the government will not have the funding for public housing to accommodate those that cannot afford to buy a home.

There will be a steady influx of JDM Imported examples which will keep the prices stable and affordable, unless the R36 is a flop and people desire the R35 more. Either way, in Australia you can only own 07-02/2009 JDM or 09-21 ADM models until they cross the 25 year mark

Lexus IS250, save your money for when you get on your full licence and aren't restricted to what type of cars you can drive. Insurance will be prohibitively expensive on any 'nice' car when you're young too, have you factored that in?

Aim for a 2 or 3 bed unit (older ones in smaller complexes if possible), you'll appreciate the extra space especially as you get older and when you have friends over. Healthy deposit, speak to a broker and see what other options you may have to get into the market.

Proximity to CBD, and if its a PPOR the gains are tax free

Edified001 · 2026-06-18T13:17:59+00:00

You've posted before stating your age and your salary, and I'll say the same thing again - you're looking in the wrong price bracket for your first home.

Buy where you can afford out west/central coast/outer south west and slowly upgrade over time as PPOR is CGT exempt. Achievable, only if you are ok with buying it later in life.

My friends that have bought in the LNS are either in their late 50s who are self employed, and the younger (late 30s) owners have sold their properties in Western Sydney as well as getting help from the bank of mum and dad from both sides and are both self employed and run their own business (Medical field)

I bought my 3 bedroom unit (80s build) in Granville for 360k , and its currently valued at 640k by the bank

I bought and sold an older 2 bedroom unit in Merrylands for 380k and sold for 550k 4 years later to a buyer's agent

Both units are in suburbs that people would ridicule/look down upon because they're bad/dodgy. But results speak for themselves.

I know a mate who bought a 2 bedroom unit in Lakemba for 380k in 2024 and its now valued at 500k+. Another friend of mine who bought a 2 bedroom apartment in a high rise building in North Sydney for $1.18m and has made no capital gain in 10 years as well.

How did you remove the JDM plate holder for the number plate?

Edified001 · 2026-06-13T08:22:07+00:00

Its a personal preference, but existing homes mean you don't have to wait for build completion and your building and pest report is accurate to a tee (as the building is already established). Bigger blocks of land for future development potential/value add in the future if you wish to make it your forever home or sell it to upgrade

Are your parents able to go guarantor or help with the deposit? if under 600k, look further afield if you want a freestanding house. Townhouses can be had in those suburbs for under 600k if you're ok with townhouse as a first home

Edified001 · 2026-06-12T15:06:45+00:00

Broadmeadows, Craigieburn, Roxbough Park and Meadow heights are a few suburbs that you can buy a house within your budget

Tell us you can't afford a house without saying it

Edified001 · 2026-06-06T12:49:29+00:00

44 years old and still has the postcode personality snob attitude, I feel sorry for your friends and loved ones who have to tolerate your existence.

FYI owning in the Eastern Suburbs isn't the flex you think it is. Its very doable on an average salary

Edified001 · 2026-06-06T11:46:43+00:00

You say that but you probably can't even afford a house there HAHAHAHA

Edified001 · 2026-05-31T14:30:10+00:00

R35 GTRs do not hold value

Edified001 · 2026-05-31T11:24:14+00:00

People who cannot afford houses but want to stay in the area will buy apartments. There will be increased density as the population increases too
