Seeing as how you receive no child support I would envisage that you are not tied to staying in Sydney. Why not move somewhere like Perth where properties are still affordable but are also aprreciating well all the time. FOr under $300,000 over here you can get a home on half and acre (great for kids) with panoramic views of the city (cheaper for just valley views or none) and about 25 minutes from the city….
Don’t tell too many people though!!![8D]
