While the interest rates are on the up, and there are a lot of vacant "investment" properties, it is a good time to be a renter...If we bought the house we are living in, it would cost us an easy $100 a week more in repayments than what we pay in rent...then add rates...pest control...and all the other piddly crap I ring the agent for currently...
I don't think it works quite like that, the rent you pay is supposed to cover the owners bank repayments, maintenance like hot water systems/rates/pest control etc etc & if it don't your an IDIOT for renting your asset too cheap or maybe people are just lucky in the western QLD desert getting the high rent income for the house value's we have....?
You would see $150-$180rent per week easily for a $150 000 house around here & it use to be $200 week for $100 000 house, but damn city folk have been buying here & pushed the housing prices thru the roof..
