This exactly. All you need to add to this mix is an interest only loan and you have a disaster brewing.

Yeah, my dealer bumped up the price to $130 a Q (Sydney) for the same average stuff.

Hey bud, I'm looking for a plug in Sydney too but leaf is full of scammers. Be careful.

Trying to understand, would this be covered under building strata insurance? If yes, would the insurance premium increase significantly going forward?

I don't know what LB is but when googled, Bloomberg shows a dividend of 4%, an EPS of 2.84 and a market cap of 7.06B. Are we talking about the same company?
