Try getting the figures right. For first home buyers each state is different but in WA No stamp duty under $500k plus $3000 for existing buy selling fee around 2.5% - 3% = $12,500 Yes transaction fees are high which means we cannot flip like in USA which also means stable prices.
Renting is easier 4 weeks rent as bond plus $400 - $600 pw for a livable property $600 pw x 52 = $31,200 year one excluding rent rises that is $312,000 in 10 years Thank you very much all renters.
