Jen I am curious. I fell like there must be a final chapter!! Cheers CK

I agree with GeoffW It is a capital cost. Cheers CK

Tizzy I had the same problem with the sound at U2. Back to Kylie. I think her shows need to be spectacular because IMHO without them she isn't much. She doesn't have the strongest voice. I hear from reliable sources her boyfriend was due to come to Australia for Christmas and four...

Jacque Have you considered a King Size single? It is 107cm wide and 204cm long so it is the same length as a queen size and wider than a standard single mattress. The investment is well worth it. Cheers CK

Well done!! Doesn't it feel good!! Cheers CK

Sootygirl Have you inspected the property? I like to talk with the agent face to face to see why they are selling, what the comparable sales figures are for that area, ask the agent how they arrived at the selling price. Make an offer and have your cheque ready so they know you mean...

Nikolina A few self contained apartments that come to mind are Oaks on Collins, ask for a view over Collins Street, the facades on the buildings are amazing. The other side of the building is very noisy. Rubbish trucks in the wee hours of the morning. They now have another one just around...

Jen If it were me I would perhaps seek the opinion of one of the financial experts on this forum, just to be sure the way you are structuring your loan is the best option. You may be using up all of this time and energy unnecessarily. I wonder if you obtained an independent valuation...

Hi there I can highly recommend Katrina Gay from Nicholson Financial Planning. We have used her for approx 4 years now and she is fantastic. She also practices what she preaches. Her details are: Phone: 03 9387 7505 Fax: 03 9445 9358 Mobile: 0411 099 051 99 Stewart Street, Brunswick...

Strannik If it were me, I would be going along in person to see the agent with a cheque in my hand so that they know you are serious. Tell the agent your offer still stands and leave it at that. Perhaps you could throw in that you are not paying for what it might be worth in the future but...

I inspected a property recently and when I asked the agent for the comparable sales in the area she said she would post them to me. They arrived today and they are for sales 2 years ago!! The property is in Sandy Bay, Hobart, Tasmania. The agent advised me this is how she and the owner...

You will never know if you don't put it in. Before you make your offer take a couple of PM's on inspections with you to get their thoughts on how much it would rent for and why. I did that recently on a property that had been on the market for 4-5 months and I knocked $100k off the...

I have tried several searches but have had no success. I think I remember reading that a forumite in the Newcastle area rents to Asian students. If this is you could you please PM me. I would like to pick your brain. I promise I will be gentle. Cheers CK

Who do you recommend as the best PM in Melbourne and why? I have a property in Clifton Hill which I have been managing - only because the PM couldn't - and one in Richmond with an agent who continuously changes staff. Thanks in advance. CK

I was in Melbourne the other day doing a bit of shopping and stopped at Starbucks for a coffee. The person I was with is a smoker so we sat outside and there was a sign saying wireless internet would work there. I am curious, if you sit in you garage or out on you back deck and pull out your...
