Good work with the reno mate! Just read through the whole thread. Reading stories like this sure do help motivate me! I have a 3bed Villa that I'll be renovating later in the year so thanks for the inspiration!

Tree roots can travel quite a distance, there's no way to know which trees roots are entering your sewer. I've been to jobs in the city with no trees in view, with the sewer completely blocked with tree roots. It would be best to replace the damaged section with PVC pipe as you would be wasting...

Pay that 3 times and you could buy yourself a lawn mower.. I wouldn't be happy paying. Did the invoice say how many hours the job took?

Doesn't sound right at all, I'd be getting your friend to question the REA as others have already alluded to. Although, if she's staying with her boyfriend maybe it's a good excuse to finish her lease earlier and save on rent.

Thanks for the quick response Terry. Got on to the agent and she informed me the tenant will be refunding me. Stressed over nothing. Happy days.

The REA contracted with Mr Fridge after tenant complained.

Hi guys, I received my monthly statement for one of my fully furnished properties today and attached was this invoice, saying that the fridge tec attended my property to look at the fridge which was packed beyond capacity and unable to work correctly. I know the bill is only $132 but I find...

It's a 'knock in' - pretty much a nail that sits inside a plastic sleeve. Use an old chisel or screw driver with a hammer to partially knock it out then use multi-grips or pliers to pull it out. You may get a new knock in back in the same hole when re-clipping the bracket or you might need to...

I paid $770 for a report from BMT last year and will be getting them to do another one this month on my recent purchase. They had great customer service, got the report done quickly and my accountant said their reports make his job a lot easier then the reports some other company's provide. I...

Cheers for the advice and tips guys, I thought it may be a touchy one. If we were to go ahead with it I think we would need some paid individual advice. Land tax wouldn't be an issue as we would still be investing either way. Just need to spread the portfolio as we reach land tax thresholds...

Look I'm not going to argue the point, I don't feel strongly enough about it to do that. I can see both sides of the arguement.

If there weren't people out there selling the stuff then there wouldn't be people buying it would there? I get what your saying though. They're all as bad as each other. What about the victims of crime from drug related offences? There's a whole list of problems caused by drugs so I dont feel...

Heartless a-holes? They were trafficking herion - do you think they gave a ***** about the people who they got hooked on this stuff, or the people who over dosed on it? Doubt it.

Hi guys, I've been thinking about an idea lately and was wondering if there would be any legal/tax issues with it. My mother is thinking about buying a new PPOR in the next few years and my wife and I are also thinking of buying a PPOR in the near future. The idea is that we both buy each...
