I purchased my current house for 1/3 of its current value, and just added $40k to the mortgage to do a fair renovation on some of it..
Including a 4 bay workshop and 12x8m cottage out back.
I'm not worried :) I have never sold one of my houses for less than double what it owed me...
But your aim is true.... I owned my first house in under 3 years....
Ahhhhhhh, puts it in perspective, thanksQuote:

Walked out of a strong job and travelled for 3 months up the East coast.
Then went looking to leave Adelaide and move to a slower pace...
Whyalla came knocking :D But ended in near tragedy..
My job was redundant after 4 months and nearly lost a lot.... Tightened the purse strings for 6 months, I can tell you it was not fun..
But it was a good life experience, and I'm better for having gone through it...
Many of the AULRO guys trusting my upgrades actually saved my backside, Thanks Guys.
But the key thing is the lifestyle I have now...
3 1/2 hours to a major city, 45 minutes from the Flinders...
Cost of living is easier here, my long range tank gets filled once a month, I'm 6 minutes from work on the bike, and 1 street from the beach (can see it from my back windows).
I wouldn't change that for the world...
And around here we have the best 4wdriving and to top it off...
Great long roads for the Cruiser to go out...
Nothing clears the head like cruising along on a big V-Twin...:D
And I thought that Shifties were people you couldn't trust or who were dishonest.
But far be it for me to call the pot black.
Home from work now and have done all my UK landy parts shopping so I'm off to bed.
