    Adelaide 2 houses for sale

    Hello Yes it makes it far easier to sell a house if no tenants are in, that is exactly what I was waiting for (for the tenants to move out). The Blakeview house has never been without tenants for more than a week. It allows me to market the property to both first home buyers and investors...

    Adelaide 2 houses for sale

    Hi Acey Ducey You make a fair point but I reckon this is probably just the natural lag effect Adelaide tends to have (last to rise - last to fall). I was tired and cranky last night but I think the general attitude that all landlords are rich (which the state govt is portraying) is...

    CRC on "the windows'??

    After trying lots of different methods the fastest and easiest way, is to buy one of those big scrapers I think its imaginatively called "the big scraper" and most hardware stores carry them. Im sure preventative measures work like tape, and being carefull and precise when painting (never...

    Financial problems

    Hello I suppose its not nice to have to do this however if anyone can help me they are likely to be on this forum. I lost my job in August last year, and thought it was a great time to start renovating a house that I had been renting out. I feel I did a pretty good job on the renovation and...

    Adelaide a lost cause......

    I think the only way the big M wil stay in Adelaide is if they do the following : Make a car that looks better than the commodore. Make a car that is more powerful than the commodore. Whatever you do, don't call it a Magna. Look at the Mazda 3 and 6, what a fantastic looking car, when I...

    How to tile over floorboards

    Sorry to have to disagree, I have used a 2 part rubber adhesive called isoflex. I have probably layed about 5 medium sized rooms over the years with this stuff, and I swear by it. I have never had to worry about a cracked tile, I have layed it over chipboard, and pine floorboards. It costs...

    The Bathroom and How

    A tip for drilling through ceramic tiles, instead of using a masonary drill bit, use a glass drill bit (a drill bit used to cut through glass). They go through ceramic tiles like a hot knife through butter. An comparision, it took at least a minute to drill a 5mm hole through a particular tile...

    Do you find a Laptop is useful, for investment purposes?

    I find laptops for investement purposes not a good idea. Every laptop I have ever owned has gone down in value :) Seriously though I use mine all the time. I had tennants moving into a house on saturday, so I set the notebook up at the house, and proceeded to take about 300 photos. The...

    The Bathroom and How

    In SA on the renovation I have just completed, thankfully they tiled behind these items, I would have thought it would be far harder to tile around a mirror etc, and as far as cost is concerned, a couple of tiles and some grout, would be far cheaper than the time taken for the tiler to leave...

    disheartened by renovation

    Hello I panicked when I could not sell the house, due to the time of the year and the fact its a summer house with a pool etc, I thought the attraction of the house would be minimal, and also I was starting to believe all the negative points the estate agent kept talking about, quite frankly...
