I suggest that its time for the owners to band together to create options and strategies.

By any chance have you thought about doing online courses/ distance studies while you are working or maybe studies in the evening?

If someone gave me something on a silver plater and said here you go, with nil effort on my part it leaves a sour taste for me.

Besides, with your theory that you should look after all your affairs would mean that if you invested in other states or distance areas, you would have to personally go there for the inspection and etc.

One of my advice which I would like to offer to you, is keep it secret in the workplace or family members as sometimes they will drag you down and possibly could affect your judgment. Also, my boss one day saw me reading the "Property Investing" Magazine and she told me me that perhaps I was getting paid too much!!!

I agree with Jaime as it means you would entitled to the first home owners grant if you live in it for the first 6 months of the 12 month period.
