@Flanegan, thank you for your sharing. I hope you can answer some of my questions below. My husband and I are transferring over between late Q3-Q4 this year. My questions are as follow:

1. You mentioned that your rental was 45k/mth, how big was your place?
2. I'm a creative by profession and will be giving up my job because I will be getting a dependent visa, which I can't work full time there. I know that I can apply to work part time and my annual salary cannot be more than a certain amount. I'm now building up my portfolio as a portrait photographer for engagements, maternity, newborns etc. I'll never work for an agency. My question is, is there a market for freelance photographer for such services there?
