    I (35) am just about to close on my first apartment and I will be living in it alone.

    Purchased the wrong investment property with instant regret before settlement

    Recently won an auction for a small 30y/o+ 135m^2 unit in Boxhill, Vic and feel like it was a poor decision.

(Obviously, assuming you wanted to...

    I am calculating potential returns for a 10 year buy & hold investment of an ETF vs IP. Due to the leverage, 4% growth in property beats 8% of ETF after all expenses taken into account. Is it reasonable to assume 4% property price growth over next 8-10 years for a new build in Australian...
