thanks david for clearing that up. never really knew trhe difference.

Grantos- I believe Cherie’s course focuses on the fundamentals of the skills u have mentioned, I think it would be up to me to refine these skills in my own way because we all have different ways of doing things, as long as my system works at least..

Catalyst- good point with Cherie’s course, I realize it is all about the analytical part of the…[Read more]

i dare say youtube wouldnt go into depth as much?, im more interested in the strategies to toroughly research the suburb specifically for renovations, to buy the property, lease options etc, managing trades efficiently and staging the property for sale also the way to present it to the bank to increase chances of obtaining loans.

what exactly do u want to know about port augusta? I was up there the other day, had a look at a couple of houses in stirling north.

I believe cheries…[Read more]

well said v8 im with ya there

I really don’t see why u need a builder to manage it, the trades are the ones doing the detrimental work anyway

I believe well established plants 1-2 meters high are great for increasing value, e.g yuccas and Bangalow palms gives it a real open and nature feel, problem is the price of them at this height, best if u can get them free e.g in a backyard where they have sprawled into many bunched together or something.

Lawn would be worth to buyers also I…[Read more]

I find it Suss that Emily70 joined up and posted in here on her first day in the forum, I smell fish. Just sayin

Don’t believe the newspaper.

I am currently in the process of landscaping my ppor, I believe it will add add around 30-40k to the value and cost me around 25k, basically just boosting the value so I can pull out some equity for an IP purchase.

If its your ppor and you don’t plan to sell for a few years make sure what you landscape will last without too much maintenance, eg…[Read more]

Have not heard of anything like this in SA , what would be the cost of having a builder manage a renovation in qld per week?

Does the 11k just mean for labour if you supplied the materials of 5k and the trades cost 10k is still within the law?

Also I’m guessingg the builder wouldn’t be there full time, I had a whole house built and the builder/…[Read more]

Great, there’s another cost..
