Depending on having housemates to pay the mortgage isn't a great plan (And the bank probably won't factor their input in too much).
Make sure you can service the loan by your self if you need to, and still live.

Don't be afraid to go bank shopping. If you get a better deal somewhere else, make sure you go back to your original bank and ask them to sharpen their pencil - they won't "beat it by 10%" like Bunnings but might be able to drop a point or two.

Factor in these few things:

Rates - The council sends you these nasty things every few months. I pay around $2500/yr on rates on my properties in QLD.

Maintenance - You will at times need to do some work on your house. It could be as simple as painting the house, replacing a hot water system or a leaky roof.

Unemployment - Come up with a plan in case you suddenly become unemployed. Some banks do offer insurance for these situations.

Insurance - Depending on your bank, this will most likely be mandatory to get your loan, but it's something you should have regardless.

oh, fyi lenders mortgage insurance, isn't for you, it insures the bank against you defaulting on the loan.
The bank (or insurance company) will still take your house

Paris climate change conference

How ironic is it when thousands of people fly around the world to work out how to burn less fossil fuels. Teleconference perhaps.

That might be possible if we had a fiber optic based national broadband network which could be a sophisticated infrastructure back bone to provide Australia with such functionality.

Heck, with a fiber network, you could even do Video Conferencing Shocked
