Think laterally in order to scrape together a deposit (sell a car, sacrifice the coffees) and borrow at historically low mortgage interest rates. Whatever it takes, buy a house. This 2012 built fully insulated masonry constructed double glazed home will suit a young couple willing to dedicate their combined income to getting on the first rung of the property ladder. There is low to no maintenance cost both in the dwelling and the 305 sqm (more or less) site. Being inner city and close to schools ought to back its continual capital growth and desirability.
