It is possible and you have done really well getting there. What I'm getting at is it's getting more and more unattainable every year. Housing is a human right and should not be treated as just something that can be taken away from people. Imagine the outrage if all of a sudden the bank kicked you out on the street because you couldn't make 1 payment, that's how it is for renters.
What I'm getting at is having a house for your family should not be such an almost unattainable goal. You should not have to give up almost everything else to just scrap together to now be in debt to a bank for the rest of your life. Family's should be able to have a house and if someone wants an investment house make them pay the full price and run the risk like any other investment.
100% there should be more renter protection.
I’ve missed a few weeks rent though and never got kicked out though haha.
Been evicted due to a sale though. And a investor wanting to demolish and rebuild.
Theres a $40 difference between my mortgage and what my tenants paying in rent. Make it happen dude! Even settle on an apartment or townhouse, bring power back to the people! Viva la resistance my comrades!
or not. Rent and invest elsewhere and enjoy not having to deal with a busted hot water heater that cost $1200, blown cooktop $1000 (heavily discounted), new garage door motor $1000, tree down that damaged fence $800, council rates, new wiring and breakers for lights due to dodgy install prior to sale $3000, and $45g stamp duty because you don’t get first home buyers grant cause fuck you ultra lord. All within first year. You can still get ahead without buying.
