Looking at property in a slightly out of the way place with 100s of houses for sale. An agent told they had just 3 people in the seven houses she had open yesterday. An offer I made was accepted at the price but not the March settlement time as the investors interest bill was well over 10,000 apparently. Negative gearing may be of interest to some. Giving a bank 50,000 + or - a lot or a bit is still a lot of cash which can be used elsewhere?
Longer more expensive building times and difficulties selling. hmmm.
Germany firing another 5000 odd workers from its expensive car industry still may be an own goal due the energy price inflation and shortages (Bosch automotive parts and German nuclear power shut down)
