    Not if they're old and rotting out as you say.  Could be a haven for white ants too.

    I'm in.

    15.  Put an  electric drill through a hot water pipe AND an electrical wire.

    16.  Moved the car in the driveway in order to move some timber and saw the car pick up pace down the sloping driveway while I could only stand and watch.  The tree across the road stopped the car which was fortunate as the next stop was the living room of the house across the road.

    What the…?  I wrote that reply to a different topic and it popped up here.   Can't help you too much on the CF+ side of things except to say that these days you need to rely on buying a property as close to positive (or neutral) as possible and then make a change to it to turn it into CF+  (ie subdivide, renovate etc).  The days of pure CF+ are long gone I believe although some can apparently still find them.  They must have more skill than me (or a greater tolerance for risk).

    Good Luck with your search and let us know how you go.

    I had a similar issue with my buyers agent.  I kept suggesting properties and he kept giving me reasons why they were no good.  I got so frustrated that I eventually just bought one that fit my criteria.  I then informed him that he could stop looking (and asked him  for his bill) and he was mightily p**ssed off!  I paid his bill straight away and we haven't conversed since, which is his loss as I've since bought two more.  I now back my own judgment as that initial purchase went up 20% last year.

    Happy hunting.

    I had a similiar experience.  I kept suggesting properties to my buyers agent and he kept finding reasons why my suggestions were no good.  I got so frustrated with this attitude that I eventually just bought one that fit my criteria.  I then contacted him and said don't bother looking any further as I've bought myself and how much is the bill.  He seemed mightily p**ssed off and we never conversed again.  Not so much as a congratulations on your purchase, which is his loss as I've since bought two more.

    PS that initial purchase went up 15% last year so I back my own judgment now.

    Happy hunting.   :))

    $234.00 in Adelaide.  Not sure if the state makes any difference.

    I've also been keeping an eye of Pt Pirie, Pt Augusta etc.  Reasonably close to Roxby Downs and the mines which are expanding, however, I'm not yet convinced.  Still more research to do……

    Hi JeeloB, I also started in SA and have 1 in Hallet Cove, 1 in Greenwith and am building one in Munno Para West.  Am now looking for no. 4, maybe another in Southern Suburbs.

    Thanks Mike, we bought in Hallett Cove and am considering purchasing another there in the next 12 mths but I’m also doing research into Sheidow Park and other suburbs. Weighing up the pros and cons of each. As far as +CF goes, I’m more interested in CG at this stage.

    Thanks again, Dave
