G’day everyone,
As an investor, I love reading about real property deals. The portfolio statistics, as printed in API, or the ‘real deals’ as presented in Matt Jones’ property investment meetup. Just a few examples.
So here are the details of our latest purchase. Feel free to add to the discussion with your latest deals and the figures they present.
I’m not out to protect my chosen investment area, or make money out of people. It would just be great to see what’s going on out there for those who choose to buy without the aid of a BA. If you have used a BA, please protect their services and keep it confidential. This does not constitute financial advice – just a snapshot of whats going on in my target area.

Do you ever put a new kitchen in?
If so, how much does that cost?
Hi there,
We have for our PPOR but luckily we have a cabinet maker in the family.
We choose to go the cheap option, however, and replace only a few cabinets, reface the existing cabinet doors and install new handles, new laminate benchtops, sinks, and appliances.
I ripped out the old tiles and learnt how to tile myself. Total cost under $3000. Finished product was like new.
Kitchens are a strange one and cost can vary immensely. Once again target market is important and cost depends on the dwelling and area. I think it was the kitchen Reno that lead to the greatest increase in the final re-val we got on the property and it allowed us to take another step in the market.
Since then we have been major cheapos when it comes to kitchen renos! Laminate paint, new handles and a little silicon :)
