Is Ireland's HOUSING CRISIS here to stay?

[@Medhead101]

What is your opinion on buying apartments vs houses as a young 1st time buyer? Can they get similar rents per bedroom if shared rent, particularly in Waterford city?

Great question, one of the lads in my mastermind was in this exact situation not so far away in Carlow. The issue is an apartment is restricted by the adjoining owners so adding value is often limited to just decorative changes like kitchen and bathroom upgrades. With a house you can extend out into the rear garden etc so I prefer houses to apartments.
