"I did all kickboards & splashbacks for $160. I also just repainted cupboard doors in gloss white enamel & replaced handles"Hi Reno Queen,I am doing a kitchen reno at the moment and love the idea of a stainless steel splashback – especially at that price!! Just wondering where I would get the SS from and did you put it in yourself? I was thinking…[Read more]

Awesome Harb, thanks for that Do you know much about the Mandurah market? What are your thoughts at the moment??? I am only selling because i am thinking that the rezone to R60 in central MH will cause major oversupply and my once fairly rare R40 triplex block will be devalued by all of the soon to be 6unit sites selling for duplex prices on the…[Read more]

Hi Miike,I've just painted over a similarly messy living area (ceiling was painted with a high gloss beige enamel..YUK), I gave it all a really good clean with sugarsoap, for the peeling areas i sanded back until it wasn't peeling anymore ran a heap of spakfilla over the area – sanded back to even up with the existing old paint. Then used a…[Read more]

Is this a long term investment? … no one wanted to live in Mossman Park not that long ago. As for buying now if it was me i would be waiting and watching for at least  6 months… ( that way you can save a bigger deposit and personally i think you will be paying less and might not have to share 30% of you property with the government) if the…[Read more]

This will be the first time I have sold anything and i am a little nervous about regretting it in the future – i don't want to be one of the sheeple jumping on the bandwagon but with the rezoning i think it will be a very long time before i get the same money … and with zoning change i would have to build two storey untis which increases the…[Read more]

Hi TourMalineMy understanding is that one has common property and one doesn't, in WA a Survey strata or green title subdivision doesn't have any common property ie a shared driveway, while a strata subdivison has common property  ….. I think ….. I'm sure some of the very knowledgeable investors on this site will correct me if i have messed it…[Read more]

Hi Everyone,We have been persevering with PRD Edge Hill for the last couple of years but they seem to be going from bad to worse! The IP is less than 100m from their office yet they can't manage inspections without being prompted (2 months after they are due) and after inspecting it in late '06 i doubt half those inspections where actually carried…[Read more]

Hi Guys …. this post got me thinking – if i were to sell a property with a fixed rate loan which is crossed secured with another propery could i pay down the variable loan on the other property with the proceeds and keep the fixed loan, there is plenty of equity to secure the loan? Seems like a long shot as it would all be in my fav…[Read more]

Thanks guys

Cool thanks Marc –  Takes the pressure off having to sort it straight away – I'm away at work now and going away on holiday when i get back into town. We gave him all of our paper work in August and this is the first we have heard of needing a diary!

Yeah can't claim without a diary apparently. Some accountants seem a little more by the book than others – but better than being audited and caught out i guess

Thanks Scott No Mates – will have to, I'm not real popular at home at the mo 'cause i managed to misplace the folder with all of our reciepts in it! I will see what i can come up with otherwise i might have to chalk it up to lesson learnt!

Thanks

Thanks Qlds007 … I actually bought the block a few years ago and have already made a min $400k gain – so maybe it wouldn't be worth it for this one???? … Can you recommend any books on the subject?Cheers

Thanks Terry .. lots to research there! I don't suppose you are in WA?
