clones – you think a 30% fall is "big time"? lets wait for 50%lets look back at oil. there was a "huge shortage" proclaimed a year ago. since then its fallen 75%. what happened to the shortage? is it just as mystical as the "housing shortage"?

yes, I used a Bunnings cheapish "int/ext" acrylic paint on weatherboards and it peeled within 6 months!

yet another case of agent incompetanceand people wonder why we question the hassle factor of rent vs dividends…..

I would be quite worried if I paid a property manager a lot of money for this much incompetance….
