You cant claim FHOG if you buy an IP.. it has to be a PPOR. Im not interested in buying a PPOR at all now, once I move out…[Read more]

However their lack of stamp duty exemption for first home buyers means I'd just be wasting the FHOG. Will definitely be exploring there for future purchases though.For now we want NSW and somewhere within traveling distance to Sydney as we have to live in this IP for 6 months due to FHOG.Im not…[Read more]

At least hold for 10 years. Dont want too many heavily negatively geared properties though as my income isn't high. On most houses that Im looking at on the coast the rent is only going to currently cover around 40% of the mortgage… if rent has potential to go up almost every year Im ok with that but its a…[Read more]

Ultimately I'd prefer to own the land and have potential to do more with it even if thats in another 5 or 10 years.However in my price range, and this was just confirmed with a rea, its going to be a pretty run down house for…[Read more]

Also dont want to be doing that on the first house I buy, it just doesnt interest me yet.How about townhouses where there are only 2 on the block? Compared to a block of units it has to be a better choice?

Or much under 200k at all?Something in a relatively good pocket that will have potential for capital growth.I'm now down to either Horsham or Bendigo – tough decision.
