They're nearly finished by the looks of it. If anyone is interested in purchasing my 2BR apartment, please contact me, my situation has changed, broke up with my partner, can't afford to go ahead with it anymore. :(

I have a little bit of experience in this matter having recently setup a couple of businesses - certainly no expert though! Yes the entity and the trading name are one and the same. For example I am the director of a Pty. Ltd. company that has one ABN for the 2 businesses that I operate -...

I couldn't imagine living in Box Hill Central - it'd be akin to living in the city - which is not what I want. As an investment it's probably a good idea though. If it were next to somewhere quieter, like Mont Albert station - that'd be more my cup of tea.

As someone who has lived in the area for the past 10 years (near the station) I can say that it is easy to commute to the city for work, so in that respect it is convenient. It is also convenient in its walking proximity to shops. Apartment blocks, if done tastefully, can create good capital...

I don't disagree with you about it being out of character. There are 2 apartment complexes going up in Mitcham in the next 2 years that I am aware of - so perhaps Mitcham is changing?

I just bought one for a PPOR. Which reminds me PT_Bear, can I book you in for June 2011 to do a home loan? That's when they'll be ready. I can't wait to get into it, they are literally no more than a 3 minute walk to everything I need - post office, Coles, bank, Thai food, pub... yeah that...

Here's a novel idea, if you want a tradesman to come and do a quote, offer to pay them for it, they'll show up if there's enough incentive, they'll also be contractually obliged to give you a quote if they've been paid for it. Also look at it from the tradesman's perspective, a 1 in 3 chance of...

You don't always have to fit the mould of public or private. Try a bit of both - ie. Send them to a public school and hire private tutors for their weaker subjects. Teachers are not like tradies, teachers will work for peanuts - hire them on a one-on-one basis to teach your kids outside of...

I'll offer my opinions - as a fellow eastern suburbs resident who used to travel to the northern suburbs for work. I've worked on a few of the estates in South Morang and one observation is that there is an enormous supply of vacant land there. It's going to take a really long time to develop it...

I'm almost in complete agreeance with you - but I wouldn't call everyone who is offended a hypocrit. I think those who are offended either didn't see the sketch or miscontrued it as making fun of sick children when it wasn't really about making fun of sick children.

I've read this book and I think it is good but I think McFall is abhorrent. What I like about it is the way McFall teaches, he obviously knows what he is doing and puts his formula together in an easy to follow fashion. Having said that I'm a no-BS kind of person and what I dislike about this...

I assume that the arm has a thread on the end of it and the lock-nut that holds it on has fallen off? Either that or the thread has broken. If both surfaces are metal you could probably hire yourself a portable MIG welder and fix it up that way. You'll need to scratch the paint off both the...

I use Google Calendar and have it setup to synchronise with my mobile phone's calendar every 15 mins using GooSync.
