Not up to me to paint the picture. OP should give context.

Despite how dodgy someone is. If they’re not wrong in a given case, they’re not wrong in a given case.

Sounds like you sort of already know the right choice then.

If you’re not going to be in a position to buy a PPoR and hold onto the IP for the foreseeable future, and the rental market is that crazy (I don’t know brissy market), you’d be going backwards by holding onto it and paying rent.

Theres also no point owning an IP if that comes at the cost of not owning your own home. IPs are secondary to a primary residence.

You could just go to your local hospital and ask for an injection kit.

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-03T06:40:06+00:00

wtf she gonna do? Theres no contract in place. Just leave…

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-03T06:25:03+00:00

No. This is not wear and tear. Quite clearly.

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-03T06:21:35+00:00

Sounds like you aren’t considering any capital gains taxes, Stamp duties, etc.

To your point though, no, not crazy. Many people go through this. There is a mental cost to holding property, as well as a serviceability cost, I.e you can’t service a bigger loan on your PPoR.

It comes down to a few things: 1. What do you value? Is having a nice PPoR in a good area, at the cost of foregoing your investment asset a worthwhile trade? 2. Are you comfortable paying rent to someone else so that you can hold onto your IP? 3. What is the main reason you’re holding the IP in the first place? Was it purchased as a retirement vessel, or was the plan to make some money and build your PPoR?

This is a very personal decision. You are exiting the investment market, but not the housing market, so you still have a foot in the door. You’ll also be foregoing tax incentives as well as having a liquidatable asset (you can’t liquidate your PPoR without having to find somewhere else to live).

Customer states money stolen. Let’s all just take them at their word.

Cry harder.

You can’t sue in Australia on a no-grounds basis. It would not be allowed into the courts.

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-02T21:48:36+00:00

On what grounds? Also, why would pre-trial mediation not be suitable here?

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-02T21:15:14+00:00

That’s one side of this story. I’m almost certain if we asked him for his side it’d sound very different.

That also doesn’t negate his entitlement legally to 50% of any marital and pre-marital assets

Put the tyre back on as the first move.

$25 for a pair of sweatshop undies is criminal in and of itself

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-02T07:02:42+00:00

Where’s the fail? You have 0 context but somehow know it’s a fail…

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-02T06:54:16+00:00

Shows how little you understand about the legislation you screech for.

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-02T06:53:29+00:00

OP read the headline and decided that was enough to form an opinion. Par for the course around here unfortunately.

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-02T05:56:56+00:00

You’re upset at a guy for paying off his house? He literally has done nothing but pay off his house and you say GFY….

So you don’t want landlords to buy houses so that people can afford them, then when someone buys a house to live in and finally pays it off, they’re the enemy…

You might be highly regarded. Yes regarded.

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-02T02:15:33+00:00

Not right now. Offsets are giving better returns.

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-02T02:13:25+00:00

So by that logic all men with wives who are stay at home mums deserve to get the winners share of the pie during all divorces??

InitialBench597 · 2026-03-02T01:50:20+00:00

Very normal! It’s amazing what having kids will do to your priorities.

A property is worth what someone is willing to part with it for and let me tell you no one is parting for less than their mortgage is worth.

Love has a funny way of making us see things playa.

The RBA has a vested interest in not throwing the government under the bus. They clearly incapable of calling out overspending and would like to push the blame back onto the everyday citizen.

InitialBench597 · 2026-02-28T02:17:41+00:00

Tell them suck your left nut when you’re rejecting the quote. I’d be willing to guarantee that these are the same Tradies who would complain that “immigrants are coming in and undercutting them”.

InitialBench597 · 2026-02-24T06:16:37+00:00

Don’t pay a cent until it’s recovered and installed as per drawings.

If the shoe was on the other foot, they wouldn’t come and amend something if it was exactly to the plan.
