    Hey psyduck,

    How far away from the center of Sydney would you be willing to invest?

    Sydney is a big market. Can’t say I’ve kept an eye on it since moving to Brisbane a year ago though… :(

    so you have around $20K? that ain’t enough really when you consider that for a $200K property (an older style townhouse in say Campbelltown) you need a deposit of around $40K, unless you go for 100% financing. have you considered interstate??

    $20k is more than enough. You can get 100%, 97%, 95% and lower finance. If I was you, I would be speaking with Simon Macks (Mortgage Hunter). He is a moderator on this forum, a mortgage broker and a good bloke. His specialty is defence grants and loans for defence personnel.
