Thanks for all the advice guys. I got a quote from Smeg - the cost to fix is $960! Wish me luck with getting the money! Lisa :-)

Thanks Dunc and Nigel. I am taking some steps towards rectifying the situation (now that I have calmed down). We have blasted the proverbial out of the PM, and since they weren't working that hard for us before, I can hardly see them putting in much of an effort now. So I guess the rest...

We lived there for 6 years with two small children, and not one hole in the wall. If I moved them out any further the door wouldn't open! The point I was making is that the guy who lived there must have had anger issues as to make holes behind the doors you would have had to use a LOT of...

Problem is Acey, its not just an IP, it is our house! We are moving back in to do some renovation and then hope to sel in around 12 months. The tennants were 2 weeks behind in the rent too - but thats coming out of the bond. So my anger comes from the fact that this place WAS my pride...

Hi Guys, Needing some advice as I am absolutely FUMING at the moment! Our tennants moved out a few weeks back and left the place a pigsty and caused some damage. Most of the damage (smaller stuff) has now been fixed by the PM's handyman and the place has been cleaned. We are now getting...

Link to Agents Ad Just in case, I thought I would add a link to the agents ad for our place. http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=o&id=101631514 cheers :D

I have had some less than great doctors at times, but in the main I have had the same gp since i was a small child. (I am now 32). He is fantastic, and I don't know what i'll do when he retires (which is prob < 10 years away). One of the problems with our society is that we are all very...

FOR SALE * 3 decent sized bedrooms, with bir to main * Good size lounge with combustion fire * Seperate dining room * HUGE brand new timber kitchen with Smeg stainless steel appliances * Seperate study / office (could be converted into self contained accom) * New bathroom with corner spa...

Hey Acey, Interesting poll, but what about an answer like "Work & home balance is fine - its the travel to & from work thats thats killing me!" Now that would get my vote!

I would buy a reno job in the west. Why? Because everyone seems to have gone into panic mode where I live. 3 months ago there was the odd place for sale - NOW - so much choice! And advertised prices seem to fall by around $10K every two weeks. If I had some spare cash (and a more...

I voted for the last option. I am happy to be comfortable and see my family happy and not going without. To me being comfortable is going grocery shopping and not having to always buy the specials! But, hey, thats just me ;) Also Jas, glad to hear I'm 17 again (according to the theory)...

Hi Rolf, The business has about $15K of plant & equipment and a motor vehicle under a lease agrement. The stock is roughly valued at $250K. Thanks Lisa :-)

Thanks Andy. The business we are interested in atm is not a franchise. It has been established for 9 years with the owners looking to retire. Asking price is $395K + SAV. We are only in the initial stages atm, so have yet to go into due dilligence. However, first impressions are that...

We have decided (after much discussion over a number of months) to take the plunge & go into business for ourselves. We have done a lot of research on the types of business we would like / be able to do and have some firm ideas. Hence my question: How do we raise the capital for a deposit...

Thnks guys :D :D :D
