First home buyers are not serving too many aces these days. While I concede they are taking a beating from a very accomplished adversary (the investors), they are worsening matters by making a lot of “unforced errors”.
Australia, statistically, has the highest percentage of home owners on this planet. Need it be said then that you may be harbouring intentions of participating in this great Australian dream, too.
