Is it possible to buy an apartment in Melbourne for less than $200k that IS NOT student only??

A couple on the following link that would be worth making offers on https://www.micm.com.au/search-results/?list=sale&suburb%5B%5D=Abbotsford&suburb%5B%5D=Carlton&suburb%5B%5D=Docklands&suburb%5B%5D=Kew&suburb%5B%5D=Melbourne&suburb%5B%5D=Parkville&suburb%5B%5D=Point+Cook&suburb%5B%5D=Sanctuary+Lakes&suburb%5B%5D=South+Melbourne&suburb%5B%5D=Southbank&suburb%5B%5D=Truganina&suburb%5B%5D=Werribee+South&suburb%5B%5D=West+Melbourne&suburb%5B%5D=Williams+Landing&suburb%5B%5D=Wyndham+Vale&price_min=&price_max=200000&bedrooms=&bathrooms=&term=#.V1AV9ZN95E4

I dont think you can call anything under 200k an apartment, more a bed sitter, good luck but I don't like your chances.

you can in the city barely, Melbourne property is pretty ordinary you don't get much for a little.

Yes it certainly is. However for less than $200k you will be most definitely looking at a Studio apartment of approximately 15-25sqm in size.

Yes it is possible - I don't think this apartment is student accommodation. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-unit-vic-south+yarra-107830696

The thing to note when buying a 1 bedroom is the size - most lenders will require min 45-50 sqm for lending over 60-70%

Good luck.
