Agree with the above. Avoid apartments at all costs. There is a lot of information on dodgey builders and defects here (Canberra apartments with...
It will be interesting if they restrict price increases to less than the increasing percentage in rates and land tax. Why any investors would buy...
I can't see any positive reason to invest in a unit in the ACT. I certainly do not think the worst is over in terms of rates and supply. Look at...
We recently sold our apartment in Canberra, but in Jan 2018 we increased the rent by $20 to $490 (we had people offering $495 when it was open for...
Of course an issue, but not as large an issue in Canberra. Prices are far cheaper and wages generally higher. Plus OO% traditionally very high....
I was surprised to see the auction clearance rate drop below 50 in Canberra. I think we are now seeing buying sentiment suffer from the Syd/Melb...

I am not sure Labor could easily backtrack on the NG policy post election. I could see them 'trying it' and perhaps painting the Senate as the bad...
I have been enjoying learning a lot more about FIRE, but I can't help but think some people are getting lost on the journey. I save very hard, but...
I think it comes down to cash flow and what you want out of an investment. If your only aim is capital gains and you are comfortable with poor...
I think if you can and you are hungry why not. At some stage in life you will lose the option altogether (kids, family, work commitments etc.)
Signed. Sadly I don't see this measure being dropped.
Perhaps an industry for cheap studios in regional areas for immigrants who need an address for their visa. I don't mind the idea in general, but...
Some strong results this weekend and a solid clearance rate in this environment. Some numbers that look stronger than you would expect for homes...
Separate names with a comma.
