Mackar,You have started a thread that can be responded to with nothing but conjecture and opinion, what did you expect?No one knows – reason I came to this forum was I thought someone might but truth is no-one does. It is all just opinion based on how much they have invested in the situation either way. Even the banks and experts cant agree.If…[Read more]

hey scamp…by the sounds of it as soon as interests rates do go down you will have no credibility left on here at all…you might just have to retire to that deep dark hole where you come up with all these dark predictions….good luck with that

Here is an article on the (almost) 900000 empty houses.http://www.hotspotting.com.au/index.php?act=viewArticle&productId=351Methinks they have mostly been purchased for capital gains (over the past 5 years) but as that is no longer a reality will all find there way back to either the rental market or for sale soon. In some rare cases, the owners…[Read more]

Ummester, I don't think Australia is anywhere near in bad a shape as the US, it never was an Empire and never got itself into such a (financial) mess as the US did, but I think you're right in that Australia will stumble a bit as the US continues it's fall downwards. But I don't believe it will be more than a stumble as long as…[Read more]

Well, if it comes to war I am glad that I am too old to be drafted and my boys are too young. I just hope it is over by the time my boys are teenagers.

I found &…[Read more]

You can't be forced to subsidize your tenant, not even by a tribunal. If negative gearing is gone the tenant will have to make up for it. Based on a 350K loan and median house prices then a 4x rental increase is probably very close to a fair increase in rent. Which is exactly why negative gearing is here to stay.

No, but only the…[Read more]
