spot on my son and girlfriend just bought a house, they have friends that borrowed 400k for a house and land package and they ( son and girlfriend) just bought a nice little 3 bedroom for 247k in a nice area where i live they saved 60k in 2 years for the deposit and have a plan to have it paid off in 6 years.
they were looking at house and land packages i strongly advised them against this and they took my advise and are on their way as for his friends the drums are beating with how much the repayments are, a sh1t quality house and land package oh well.
just for the record i have taught my kids dont borrow for cars, and material sh1t if you cant afford it walk ride , watch my tv , they own all their own stuff and are set up but i feel a lot of their mates are getting around in hi lux utes , getting on the pi$$ etc and dont get me wrong my kids all go out and get on it but i have taught them the good old it not what you want its what you need

Sounds good Hawks2015 for your son. However, the reality is that in most places you cant get a run down shack for double that price or a postage stamp block to build on for that money.
