Hey chill eveyone [wacko]
What happened to answering diclem’s original question????!!!! [blink]
[offtopic] This is not a debate about single mothers, multiple fathered children or whatever…..it’s about how people plan to spend the $600 per child granted to them by a government who is IMO trying to give back to some very deserving families!!!…[Read more]

TIP
When IP hunting, if you can put up with it, try and inspect the building during cold, rainy or windy (winter) months; there is usually less competition (other buyers) around and it can really help identify any problem areas in the IP such as insulation issues, a leaking roof, gaping cracks, damp and/or draft spots etc.
Cheers,
Jo

Hi Redwing,
All our IPs are at 5% PM fees + GST, with one week’s rent when re-letting, and that’s it, aside from a $2 per statement charge each month.
Oh nearly forgot, I’m in Melbourne.

Yes it is a kind of fan shape, narrower down the back (almost to a point). I need to take a closer look, and will try to do so over the weekend sometime. Thanks again for your input.
