While I wouldn't be racing out to buy something in inner Melbourne or Sydney right now as an investor that doesn't mean that other people shouldn't buy now in other areas .

That plus the fact that you can lock in money really cheaply for up to 5 years screams opportunity to me .
Think about it . You can buy a brand new house in the outer burbs or large country centre for an affordable price with your payments locked in for 5 years . All you have to do is go to work and make the payments . No painting or plastering or digging trenches yourself . Just walk in and start living if that's the way you choose to go .
If you don't think thats easy and then go and have a talk to your grand parents about it .
