bricks and mortar always a wise investment. market in Sydney atm is a sellers paradise, but buyers worst nightmare. A buyer now is unlikely to make any short term gain. Invest in govt bonds.
Having said all this, I blow every last cent on stupid stuff. here's a case in point, I have it fixed in my head that I need an R34 GTR, but one that will appreciate over a long time. So I started looking for a Millenium jade nur m-spec. Then I get in contact with a mate who says that the Endless Drag GTR is available, essentially a highly modified 99 V-Spec. 82k imported, so I make a few calls and confirm. Now, most ppl would agree very cool car, but if that engine blows all you're left with just another white, blown motor 99 V-Spec. At this point most ppl come to their senses. Me, I think ohhhhh this one's fast, fcuk it I'll finance to lessen the risk. This is exactly why, I am the worst person to listen to for financial advice.
