Renting out my second room has actually been an option I have been considering. Unfortunately the unit is on the smaller side of 2 bedroom (60sqm) and the 2 rooms are right next to each other. The second room is quite small, and would unlikely attract the type of person I would want to share...

Thanks for your opinions and thoughts guys. My strategy was always to buy and hold long term, use equity and so on. Now that I've come this far (9 odd years) down the track and I'm actually in more debt I'm kinda wigging out. But yeah the logical/sensible thing would be to hold and pay it...

Thanks Scott No Mates. I think you've pretty much echoed the rational side of my brain. Guess I'm just havin one of those days where the proverbial ball and chain feels a little heavier :o

Had an open for inspection today for my IP within inner city Sydney. It was newly renovated with floors, kitchen and paint all done. First thing people commented on was lack of wardrobes. So, i took myself down to Ikea to take a look and found quote a reasonable flat pack with mirrored sliding...

Thanks Jane. Storing extra materials under the cabinets is a great tip! I think i'm going to follow your advice. There will be a week between the unit being vacated and the kitchen being ready to install so its probably an opportune time to get the work done. By the way I'd like to thank you...

Thanks guys, your advice is most appreciated. At the moment i'm running around like a mad man trying to organize everything to limit the amount the time the property is off the market! I'm currently leaning towards A-Plan kitchens in Camperdown who i think are at the upper end of town in terms...

Hi Guys, Long time lurker/reader and first time poster - a little nervous! :) I've got a 2 bed IP in inner city Sydney which is being vacated in 2 weeks time. I have the intention of ripping out the original 35 year old kitchen and replacing it with a new flat pack and also doing the floors...
