Cant decide between a house that's built for a family or an apartment that's built for a bachelor.
I figure homes appreciate more but it's more effort maintaining and isn't very bachelorish. Considering buying the house as PPOR and leasing it out and using the income to pay for a nice apartment.

dont ever buy apartments unless it's in some highly speculative location with incoming projects
Got my place listed for sale in Canberra, getting a bit of interest but nothing serious yet. I'm hoping the ACT's artificial public service economy is still strong enough for someone to buy now.

So many owners are in complete denial about state of the real estate market. Cant wait to see them suffer.

How do non-Aus anons take advantage of this? Are their REITs focused on the Australians market we can buy OTC or something when the bottom hits?

Sadly, like Negative Gearing, Franking Credits were a great idea that was rapidly co-opted by people who really didn't need them and then kept out of reach of others (or rather given to them at great cost).
Fuck it, we can't have nice things when greedy corporate cunts take advantage.
Christ, it'd all work nicely and fairly if it was just regulated independently nd not stacked to the gills with shills and self0interests.
>t. Dude who's the "Socialist" of a very Liberal family and doesn't gaf that this will affect his inheritance/trust and all that shit because he's never had an income over $20-35k pa anyway.

Not even vaguely surprised. Once you get a job you'll very quickly come around that a lot of the taxes you paid are squandered

>Once you get a job you'll very quickly come around that a lot of the taxes you paid are squandered
I'm under no illusion that they aren't...
I'd still rather they be squandered than kept in the hands of a few. Sadly half the time said taxes plus sum end up back in the hands of the few anyway.
Small Government is a fucking joke, we need a Government who can actually do their job and has balls to tell the BCA et al. to take their ball and go home if they don't like the new rules.
If we had a stupid "pay as you go" system for everything we'd be no better than fucking aboriginal communities.

Hi, my name is Shane and I only appear when there is bad news. Most of the time I am wrong but who cares as long as it sells.
Massive cope. He was all around when the property market was booming. You're in denial.

I'm looking at a few homes that have been on the market for like 4 months now. Vendors need to get with the times and drop their prices. They've come down a bit but it's still far off the market.
Annoying cause 1 is absolutely perfect but it's still too expensive. Luckily the area has had huge losses in prices, it's just the vendors being a stubborn mule, so either this place or a very similar place will be available in my price range eventually. Although I expect it to be in 2020.
