    Park & Fly Carparking Space

    Adding to the issue of good ol' fashioned "supply and demand" is how easy it would be the build more next door. My general view is car parks represent poor return and high risk. Sure they are cheap but as we all know, cheap doesn't equal good! Building a high rise car park in the CBD would...

    Borrowing for Commercial property

    Hi TSwizzle. We have a commercial loan with the Commonwealth and simply put the $$$ left over from the positive gearing each month into the loan account which offsets the total loan balance thus reducing the interest. I don't see any reason why you couldn't do this with your equity however it...

    Bosch Vs Smeg vs Miele

    Wylie, I've found the biggest complaint with dishes not drying is usually due to the absence of rinse aid. Most people who've had dishwashers for years are used to the older brands which either had hot water plumbed in or "super heated" the water leaving the dishes hot enough to dry. Newer...

    Bosch Vs Smeg vs Miele

    Your answer will depend on what you intend on doing with the property. If you intend on selling and are just going for the name, then all three will suffice. If however you are planning on keeping them to rent, then that’s an entirely different answer. I've just gone through the process...

    Negotiating price on 2nd hand car at car yard

    Yes you're right, car hunting should be easy but when you're purchasing second hand 5+ year old vehicles on a limited budget, it pays to invest a little time as you could just be buying someone elses problems. The Viva is actually a Deawoo (GM own Deawoo and outsource a lot of their prodution...

    Negotiating price on 2nd hand car at car yard

    Wobbly, the main issue with RACV (as I found out recently) is there wasn't enough money in vehicle inspections anymore and so they closed down most of their inspection centres. I think they only have two now (North Melb and I can't recall the other). If you've got a sec, just call state roads...

    Negotiating price on 2nd hand car at car yard

    Wobbly, I worked at a car dealer for a few years (flame suit one) and happy to share my experience. There are several different types of warranty here in VIC 1. Statutory warranty. This has to be legally offered by any car dealer selling a vehicle: A licensed motor car trader must...

    Buyers Agent and Management

    Although I've never dealt with one for CIP, I would expect they are well versed on this part (the lease) of the process as it forms an integrate component of the deal. You may find however that they may not typically deal in the lower end you are looking. I know $3M doesn’t exactly sound lower...

    Buyers Agent and Management

    Hi Zedlum and welcome to the forums. You certainly raise some interesting and broad questions so I won’t prattle on too much. If you’ve got some time on your hands, the first thing I would suggest before you do anything else is get a copy of the following books. There isn’t much...
