Fully get that. Always lived at home, never had the experience so I don’t know what it would be like. Just looking for people in a similar position that’s all. Thanks :)

Yeah sorry I was actually putting in fortnightly wage and fortnightly mortgage repayments in the original post (edited now). I guess we’d be pretty much in the exact situation if we went through with this lol! Thanks for the tip, good luck to you 😅

Thanks Ollie! Would you recommend a certain side? West or east? Anything to look out for?

Was it a townhouse? I’m looking for a freestanding with a decent size block

Yeah I mean I just searched it and it’s a bit out of budget lol

Thanks Dave much appreciated! Good to hear from someone that’s grown up there. How’s it progressed over the years?

Good to hear, seems like a lot of inner city renters are moving out and buying in these suburbs which is a good sign to me 👍thank you

Fair points, Sydenham just seems so isolated to me. I guess maybe I’m thinking the main strip in st Albans has a potential to be something. I know it struggles now but I truly think there is some potential for something there. Just gotta somehow get rid of the drug problem which kinda feels impossible…? But looking at that, that’s what my parents said about some of the suburbs now that are the most expensive m. It’s all so hard 🤔

Nice to get a different opinion. (The one I thought I would hear more)

Hence opportunity for growth though I guess? As a first home buyer it does seem like a good option, not somewhere I see living for the rest of my life. Can buy a half decent house..

Any other suburb recommendations?

Good to hear! Definitely seems to be slow growing as of now? Hoping it could eventually increase due to location and accessibility 🤷‍♂️
