    I disagree with Steve on the whole “cladding” issue. Cladding is the term given to the exterior skin of the home not just a specific aluminium product. One form of cladding is brick veneer!
    There are very big rewards in “recladding” a fibro home – not just for resale but for renting as well. People get the spooks about fibro, eventhough if it…[Read more]

    I’ve read quite a number of responses from you two – yes you know who you are! Is there no end to this “mine’s bigger and better”….. The argumentative nature of your responses is quite annoying to those of us who just want good info.

    Wayne,

    I am looking at becoming a full-time positive cashflow property investor. Before I give up my part-time income, is there a mortgage broker out there who can advise re servicibility? I want to chip in 20% purchase price and purchase costs for each IP from funds to hand from sale of another property. If I can find the deals returning 10%yield, and…[Read more]
