"尽管损失了7000多首次置业款(SYD)", 何止$7,000, 还有$13,490 ($400,000) 的印花税.

要是更精明,不考虑生活质量的话, 住一年, 转投资, negative gearing, 存钱买house.

有时候这7000还抵不过租金和negative gearing。

If in Melbourne, do we get first home buyer bonus?  How much is that?

Thank you for answering.

Yes. First home buyer's grant is available in all states and territories. This is a federal government initiative. Every state and territory also has other initiatives to encourage first home buyers, such as waive of stamp duty for properties under certain threshold.

For VIC

2. How much is the grant?

A payment of up to $7000 is payable to eligible first home owners.

First Home Bonus

If you are eligible to receive the grant, you may also be entitled to receive an additional payment of $3,000 or $5,000 (subject to meeting certain requirements), which is known as the First Home Bonus (the bonus). For contracts entered into on or after 6 May 2008, an additional bonus of $3000 is also available in addition to the $5,000 bonus for the purchase or construction of a new home in a regional municipality in Victoria. You do not have to complete a separate application form for the bonus as your eligibility will automatically be considered when you apply for the grant.
