    sorry jane im in wollongong NSW, agreed recomendations are grest, but i didnt relly go from recomendations i called all the tradies, spoke to them asked quote per metere, i ended up with 4 on the job quotes, spoke to them and essentially analysed them to see how true to there word they were or whether they were shonky guys looking for a quick easy buck…it took 2 days
    day 1-sand, nail old nails down, and putty, then a sealer coat is applyed
    day 2-2pkcoat or polyurethane(i recomend 2 pak)coat is applied, then final finish coat 1-2hrs after, which is essentially what finish you require(matt, satin, hi-gloss, semi-gloss….also they can apply stain to change the colour iv herd that can change the image dramaticlly…)
    btw, 8hrs after final coat is applied you can walk and move furniture back in….i was suprised tooo
    i used "get-a-gleem" they are a francise i believe so they could have similar products….

    best of luck

    karenday i just had mine done $17p m2 in 2pak its harder wearing.
    use semi gloss instead of highgloss(highgloss wil look tanished quicker)
    all quotes i got were between (17-24) and some well overpriced at 35pm2 depends where u live and the competition for jobs..
    best of luck

    i had my floors done recently it cost $17 p m2 using 2pak enamel( this is harder wearing ) (its a fantastic job) also the top coat sould be semi gloss not full gloss, full gloss looks nice but tenants will inevitably scratch and wear the surface causing the sheen to be lost giving you a dull look.

    it will depend where you are..but my quotes were between (17-24)/m2
    Best of luck..
    the end product is fantastic only took 2 days for a 3 b house all boards nailed, puttied and polished…

    Cheers

    They are very good points, Thankyou
     Although i am still cautious that the fibro home would be in an area, and attract tennants that are undesirable, and could quite possibly trash all  my hard work?, the areas are notorious for domestic disputes and drug use-supply…
    whereas the brick home, in the nicer area, should attract a nicer couple or family…
    Any thoughts?

    Hey TM,
    I am much the same age.. 20, and loooking to purchase a few investments properties atm….from what i have discovered it is not all that easy to just sub-divide and develop…you have to be careful of the particular land zonings for the area….and also what sort of local council is in power, for example; a more developmental council will approve such developments much easier than a conservative green coucil would…

    once you look into the zonings you may find one dwelling on the land is permitted only…
    definitly its much harder than "knock down and rebuild"

    Good Luck Bud
