Hi all, I've just moved to Brissie, and need a new accountant that has a thorough knowledge of property. Thanks for your Help

I know, the only problem is I want to hold it long term, so in 10 years time it won't be worth as much!!

Thanks for the advice Terry. My partner is adverse to spending any money upfront to get such advice. The few hundred dollars would be a bargain at this stage. We did use a solicitor to do the conveyancing, my partner should have told them our plans, unfortunately he too busy watching the...

If anyone could help me with the following, it would be a great help. I bought a property in Brisbane with a friend. We paid $700k for it, and are going to separate titles(already on 2 lots), demo the house, then split the titles and build a house each. My question is we've already paid...

You could lay ply, but this gets expensive depending on the thickness and square metreage you require. A cheaper alternative, and something that is used all the time is masonite. I think its about 4-5mm thick.use contact adhesive, or liquid nails(more expensive) if you lay it on concrete.Also...

Hi Guys, I'm working in Hedland, I don't know all the ins and outs, but I do know it's expensive to get anything done here. I know a guy who has just secured a block in the recent ballot, and he said that the council will give him around $8000 back. Maybe just for new home though? All the...
