It will get the trucks out of residential areas in the inner west, and transform those suburbs. I don't understand why you would oppose it, and Labor should be championing it as the great project that it is for it's voters rather than opposing it.

Where as the proponents are hard working everyday Australians who don't have the time to make as much noise as the communists. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because TBH I really don't care about owning land I just want put down my stuff and stay there.I reckon that's the primary motivation for a lot of people to buy their own house, it's an overrated investment and only really worth it so you can have somewhere to, as you say, put down your stuff and stay there.FWIW, I don't see how there is a substantial difference between paying $250 a week in rent plus putting $100 a week into a savings account, as opposed to paying $350 a week in mortgage repayments (since in a way it's a savings as well as you are building up equity while also being able to redraw if you need $$$). There's your long term renting system Edited November 21, 2014 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 If you look at it from a simple dollar for dollar comparison no there's not much difference Tesla. But it depends on what you want to end up with by the end of it. By the time we have sunk the same amount of money into the same property let's say 10-15 years, you renting and me buying, you may have saved up 50k-75k on the side with your $100 a week, while the property I have has almost doubled in value and is worth 10 times as much as your money, further allowing me a lot more options and wealth than your money that's sitting there stagnant.

It is not, and it is finished. You're also assuming I haven't quadrupled my money on the share market or elsewhere in that time. I also think you're too dependent on government legislation when investing in property, as really its only a bunch if government legislation that makes it a worthwhile investment (capital gains tax exemption, negative gearing, first home buyers grant, etc.). Government legislation is very easily subject to change. The TLDR in regard to property is: If you want to live somewhere for a long time, eg 10+ years then buy. If you want to have flexibility and/or don't want to live in the same place forever, rent but save and invest in other things. The last bit is important though, you can't expect to be better of financially when renting if you're not investing in something else. Of course, financial considerations aren't the only considerations. Money isn't everything. Edited November 21, 2014 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartFc Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 If you have a decent income then buying is defiantly better. I dont particularly earn heaps but with the Mrs it's over 100k. That's the bench mark imo. Have atleast a 70 k deposit and don't spend over 450 and you'll be just fine. Should have the house paid off in 12 years and you can thumb your nose at the renter's. I wouldn't buy right this second though. The market is well and truly gonna burst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) It 'defiantly' isn't always better, it depends how long you are going to own it like I said above, because otherwise fees and taxes associated with buying & selling will outweigh any benefit.The fact of the matter is, even with the above normal returns that have been experienced in the property market over the last 10 years, average annual return was 6.1% while the stock market average annual return was 9.2%. Like I also said, it's really only government legislation that makes property a worthwhile option, as you won't have to pay tax on that return if you live their for a year.And I dont see many properties tripling your money over the last 5 years like major bank shares would have.

Of course, financial considerations aren't the only considerations. Money isn't everything. Of course without dismissing the fact that you can invest the money in shares and potentially make a profit, property without fail is the one constant that continues to rise throughout history as far back as you want to go. Sure there are some bumps along the way where it drops but without fail it rises back up and continues to climb and will continue to do so. And it's well known the share market is a lot more volatile and subject to change than the property market, I know as I also invest in shares, so to assume you would make the same profit is a bit over confident. I could easily bet my property would increase in value a lot more than your share portfolio,over the same time frame. Your also assuming that my intentions when buying property is to rent out the property when my plans to make a vast profit may be quite different. For this reason buying property will always be king, over renting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Adding to that most property people tend to agree that property has had a habit throughout history of doubling in value every 7-10 years going through its customary pause or "slow period." So yes the property market did boom and it has slowed, but as long as we don't have a property crash without fail over the next couple of years it will pick up again.

True but I'm assuming most people buy their first home for the long run. Im happy living where I am for the rest of my life so I guess I'm giving my personal opinion based on my situation. It made no sense for me to rent coz we only borrowed 340k and we're very happy living in the outer south east. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
