    after five failed contracts and five months on the market our house has FINALLY gone unconditional.

    the house HAD to sell this month, cos next month we couldnt have afforded the mortgage payments without it being tenanted.  so today, on the day where we had $0 in our account, and only $3.55 avail on our credit card, our house went unconditional.  so we cant go out to dinner to celebrate yet … but we are certainly cracking open the bottle of bubbly we had been saving in the fridge for a special moment.

    SQUEEEEEEEEEEE

    im so excited :D :D :D

    itll be a merry christmas this year!!!

    just had to share my excitement with other property investors that may have at some stage felt the pinch when ur investments dont sell straight away.

    That's great news, congrats! I've just checked out your blog… it's great! I am also a property investing housewife!! My hubby works away a lot, so the property investing journey is mostly mine… I'm currently renovating our first IP, which I will put a tenant in until mid next year, and then sell and move on to the next one. I soooo hope my sale goes smoother than yours though!!!  I can't believe you had 5 contracts before it sold….. talk about frustrating.

    Anyway, I love your blog, and you have inspired me to do the same…. I'll let you know when I set it up. I think it may be a good way of getting out some of the frustration that goes with property investing and reno's, and it's also a log book of the journey.

    Keep up the good work!

    Cheers
    Jess

    Congrats!

    Just had a look at your blog also, great to read about what you've been doing with regard to the reno. 
    Doing a cosmetic reno is next on my list as well!  Just need to finish the small development project we're working on first!
    Good luck with the next one, can't wait to hear about that one too!  Really good to see people out and doing great things for their financial future!

    Cheers,

    Kaz
