    Deceased property, buy or not?

    Would you even have to disclose where in the house he died. I doubt it so just say he had a heart attack in the backyard gardening and was pushing his limits as far as you know. He was a really nice bloke and his spirit went straight to heaven. Lovely story. You could add that his organs were...

    Opinions

    My opinion on specific subjects definately changed due to being exposed to a broader cross section of opinions on here. The reason for coming on here was due to lack of opinion within my circle of friends apart from "debt is bad", "live life for today and party, who cares about tomorrow". I...

    Burwood VIC

    I will give my mum a call and see what she has in one of her many photo albums. I can just remember the tram line being built between Station St and Middleborough Rd. Actually I just remembered we used to hold onto the back of the trams while riding our pushbikes up the hill. You learnt to keep...

    Burwood VIC

    I grew up 5 minutes from those shops too. I remember when Safeway came along because it meant the end of the big top circus coming to Burwood. Then most of the RVIB got sold off and the carnival rides were gone as well. That's progress for you. Is it still a dry area as in no pubs. That was...

    What to do...paid 15k deposit now bank playing hard ball!

    Dealing with the banks is what I find to be the most frustrating part of buying property. You have to spoon feed them the whole way. They will set everything up so that it is simple and easy.........for them though, not you. Keep ploughing through. You will eventually reach the end of the...

    So, Have You Donated Yet?

    All valid points Bluestone but the donation of money by Australian people not affected does a lot more than provide financial relief for both the people affected by the disaster and the government. It actually sends a message to those affected that the rest of the nation is aware of what they...

    Who Gives Xmas Cards/Gifts for their PM/Tenant?

    I voted "no" and never will. If my PM's do a good job they get a positive testimonial from me as their client. I did however receive a card from them which I think comes under the statement,postage etc cost they charge me each month!! As far as tenants go I am already giving them a place to live...

    restumping

    Just had my place restumped but as the house is on a slope going north to south and the house faces east it was a funny/more involved job. Had to use steel stumps for the southern end as the area is more than 6ft high. Ended up going with the mob some friends used as they did a good job and...

    Property investment courses/seminars

    Seminars can be useful but remember they ALL have something to sell that you should not let pass you by ;). Only bring enough money to buy your lunch and refreshments and definitely don't bring your credit card with you. Don't sign anything as you can easily get caught up in the moment whereas...
