    Paying the bank back

    We pay $355 a week in mortgage repayments. We are out of town though so end up paying about $100 a week in petrol.

    We are considering (Seriously considering) selling and renting back in town.

    We are renting. Small coastal holiday town, with basics, but 12kms from hospital, supermarkets, petrol etc.
    We pay $255 a week for 3brms, ensuite, rumpus room, big yard & double garage. I'm very happy with the price ($265 in September).
    In the towns 12 & 25kms away we'd pay well over $300 a week for this place.

    Renting at the moment $260 per week for a 3br 2 bathroom basic house around 40km from CBD.
    We also have a land mortgage that is $500 per month interest only.
    When our house is finished in Dec our full mortgage will be around $2500 a month - yikes!
