Common questions
Is it better to rent or buy in Brisbane?
It depends on how long you stay, capital growth and your lifestyle. Buying typically wins over 7 years or more when growth exceeds interest costs. Renting is more flexible short term.
What growth rate should I use?
Brisbane south suburbs have averaged 5 to 8% per year over the last decade, though growth is not linear. Use a conservative 3 to 4% for a stress test.
