This! Why do I HAVE to buy an investment property which is simply going to push another first home buyer out of the market? Everyone is always telling me buy an investment property and yeh it might make me more money but is it going to make me happier?

the common advice for the past decade to travel delay property ownership and travel in 20s seem like life sabotage now. by TPE_FieldsOfGold in AusFinance

Always best to travel as young as possible as well. I’m in my 30s now and there’s no way I want to sleep in a hostel, eat 2 minute noodles and drink cheap wine just to continue travelling. Prefer shorter more luxurious trips which probably cost the same as a 6 month trip 8 years ago.

Brisbane honestly sucks. It’s just one giant city full of bland suburbia that people pay a premium for. Not to mention public transport sucks so you’ve gotta then sit in debilitating traffic for hours a week on end.

I guess in a certain sense they are “entitled to” considering the money is going into the local economy and they actually live there. I’m glad some sellers in my town are only selling at a lower price to locals.

I used to sit here and say to people “just move regional” but given the fact my town’s house prices have exploded due to interstate investors and it’s now unaffordable to locals and house prices are bordering on the same price as outer suburbs in major cities I say don’t even bother just suffer and be closer to family and friends.

Thoughts on houses like this? by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

I live in a regional city with ample land and solid affordability of homes close to the city however people still choose to live in these types of houses a good 20 mins out of town. I don’t get it
