Hi

Have not done anything yet, but would be buying the land and then building, not a house and land package

Thanks

Hi guys thanks for all the nice comments

I do actually have two properties, my PPOR and an additional unit as an investment. In my workings out i factored in selling this and using the equity to pay down the rest of my home loan on my PPOR.

I never really had much of a clear goal, just bought two properties when i was young and concentrated on…[Read more]

Just thought I would give you an update, after alot of thought I have decided to……. grow a pony tail, lol

Nah, I have done some research and allot of thinking and am looking to start up a agriculture contracting business. It will be long hours but only for short periods which I am comfortable with. The only…[Read more]

I think you may find that even if they did drop stamp duty house prices would rise as a result effectively leaving purchasers in the same affordability postilion 

Its only my opinion but I would be nervous about buying in Lucus. Have a look at the number of properties up for sale and how long they are taking to sell in “the Chase” the last subdivision out that way. To me it just seems like sprawl, and will travel time to the CBD could be up to 20mins during peak times.
Having said all of that there is not…[Read more]

Some good tips but I don’t fully agree with point Number 1 or 2.
Usually companies that charge other costings apart from commission will have a lower commission price, so can provide a cheaper service overall. They also usually have better advertising, whether that be larger adds in the local paper or priority listings on…[Read more]

Scott No MatesYou are correct, sorry for the mistakeTim

HiNot sure what state you are in but I' am 99% sure that in Victoria it is a 3 day cooling off period, and even if you get someone to sign a document to waive there cooling off period, it will be void.The fact that you say it is a 5 day cooling off period means you are most likely in a different state.Thanks Tim

JoeWhy imply that you want to know "just for kicks"?Why not just be honest and say that you are thinking of starting you own agency and want to know how much money you will make.Tim

Hi I recently got a plumber to do some pipe work for me and he was $80 an hour.Ballarat VictoriaCheersTim

Hey mateI bought my first property a small flat for 140K just after my 20th birthday. Lived in it to get the FHOG which was 10k at the time and then rented it out. Waited two years and then bought a old weatherboard house in a good locatition for 190K. Rented it out for a year and now live in it with my gf. Re-weatherboarded and rewired it. Still…[Read more]

I have found out the it is a Conite construction. The problem being is that no one can tell me if there is cement sheeting underneath it or not? If anyone knows about conite and has an opinion i would be happy to hear it.ThanksTim

Hi GilanGlad to see another person from Ballarat on here. I dont know the answers to your questions but I would suggest having a chat to the agent about it. Ask them to query the owner. They can hopfully tell you if the weatherboards are still on – I'm 95% sure they would be and they might be able to give you the name of the company who put the…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply BrianIt sounds as though I have done a few things wrong. The builder has put all the wetherboards on. The ends of the boards have not been primed and will now not be able to be. I am unsure as to what type of nails he used, what is the issue here? I will go to the weatherboard supplier this morning and get the details of the…[Read more]
