Yep we were in Mascot. Wasn’t a fantastic suburb but the accessibility to the city, Inner West and Eastern Suburbs are just amazing. Kinda miss the convenience sometimes. Our ex unit was just opposite the train station so imagine the convenience. Was a duplex with about 100sqm of living space (2BR) - owner next door put up his unit for sale and we were really keen but just not willing to fork out $1m for a unit which is absurd (plus the max LVR for the area was only 70% back in 2017 so obviously even the banks thought it’s a high risk suburb with too much supply - Meriton was building heaps of apartments around us).
We never really travel to the city on weekends but it’s train for us regardless of day if we’re heading to the city.
I guess one shouldn’t really convert into MYR anymore once here (or at least that’s our view). It’s the same for every other living expenses such as food, travelling costs etc. We saved quite substantially before we moved here so I guess that helped massively when comes to dumping that downpayment towards the land and build. We were caught by the stamp duty though which was absurd.
Hills is more of a suburb for familes (heaps of young families here) so I guess if you’re looking to future-proof that’s one to be considered - we do get questions all the time still though as to why not a closer suburb with a slightly smaller and older house as some really is not willing to spend that much time on the road to work daily but I guess people do adapt (which we did although it was difficult at first).
Nah, I stopped converting as soon as I got my first Aussie pay. I was just saying if I were still in MY, I could have bought and lived comfortably in a $1.5m house in a nice area (think Desa Park City). Just a stupid rant in my head.

When you provide photos do you need to have narrative down to describe what and when it was? As we are diy the whole thing.
Nope, no need. Photos with timestamps help, but not mandatory.When you provide photos do you need to have narrative down to describe what and when it was? As we are diy the whole thing.
