Maybe you are on their Austalian version of the site... I live in the US and have an account so I don't know what the problem is.And yeah, housing expenses are crazy over here. It's incredible. So many people get evicted over here for not paying and sh*t. It's horrible. People get flashed on by all these mortgage and loan companies, and don't know what they are doing.

I just followed the link you gave me, and it said you needed an Australian address to apply. I'm looking at INGDirect.com right now, and all I see are savings accounts with 5.25% 5.30% APY. Doesn't do much good for me because I already have a 5.64% APY account with Capital One...Maybe the one you have was a special deal or something?

Is it the "Electric Orange" account? And did you sign up in person at one of their branches, or online?

I was signed up online, but you can call them for help. They have pretty good support.

Man...try moving out here to Los Angeles or to New York. You will be lucky to find any decent house to pay for under 500K at least. I'm talking a one story house in an ok neighborhood.</div>Even over here it's way more than that. 70k would be a run-down house in the ghetto.

In Detroit you can easily get an old 4-5 bedroom for 40k on the east side but it would be old the house im living in is a 32k 4 bedroom on the west side that was built in 1927.The neighborhood affects the price alot here a 2 bedroom in a nice neighborhood could run for 65k.But as you go out towards the suburbs of michigan you can find nicer homes for lower prices.
