Re: My dream has died
Jeff, my OH earns $56k per year and we can manage to pay our mortgage (we have $225k). I don't earn anything yet either.
The only difference I can see is that you would have to pay for childcare, which we don't and there is two of you and four of us.
You will get help with family tax credit, and also rent allowance (obviously while you are renting).
Also try looking at building instead of buying established and if you can't afford Brisbane, then come to South Australia. You can build here for around $200k in a nice area.

No snow here, if there was I wouldn't be here
If you have a PR 136 visa (or any other PR visa) then there is no waiting period for them.

Re: My dream has died
There's new developments both in the North and South with house and land packages for less than $200k
There's one advertisement, saying house and land from $198 per week. Haven't looked into them, but I'd imaging that is for a basic house on a small block, with no extra's. They even offer to pay your rent for 12 weeks while it's being built.

Thanks a million Wendy, but where do you get the 500 dollars a fortnight bit from?

Re: My dream has died
That's rent and family assistance. I worked it out ages ago, and it came out based on $45k earnings that our rent would be nearly paid once every fortnight.
Like I said, it's an educated wild guess. I will be having our tax return done soon so will be able to answer a lot better.
