Looking at where we are now at in the market cycles, the next crash(financial markets) is likely to hit in the not to distant future. I doubt it will be till at least late this year or possibly sometime next year. Personally I wouldn't be looking to buy realestate until that is over as I think it's quite possible that will tie in with a decent correction in Australian property prices. I'm happy to hold what I currently have though as I bought years ago and there is zero chance of seeing it go anywhere near my buy in, let alone below. Could be some bargains around after it though.
