Good for Growth? in the forum Help Needed! https://www.propertyinvesting.com/topic/4391509-raceview-ispwich-qld-good-for-growth/#post-4577716 Thu, 22 Nov 2007 07:14:15 +0000 Raceview is quite a dump. It's very dry, dusty, and ugly.The only positive is that it isn't too far from Ipswitch – but I don't know if that is enough to provide any capital growth.

That will put pressure on existing mortgage owners. Combined with the economic problems in the US, with possible flow on effects to China (and then us!), I'm quite content to just sit back, save money, and see where the economy goes.As a side point,…[Read more]

My wife and I have a strict budget. We have a growing share portfolio, and we add extra to our savings account each week.I understand hard work is needed to save a deposit, but some posters on this forum really need to get it through their thick skulls that it is bloody hard to buy a house at the moment, and it's a…[Read more]

Anyone with a job in the city certainly wouldn't be driving to work, or they would go broke (seen parking costs lately?).Plenty of GenY people (myself included), moved out of home at 18. What do you say to us?

I challenged the valuer with a comparative valuation report from the agent. He checked out the other properties, but will not budge.The other lenders offering the same loan type (100%, rate at or under 7.55) all use the same valuer in that…[Read more]
