Hi Guys Thank you all for the comments. My understanding now is that I should go for a better location than the land size in relation to this option. I understand that these suburbs do not have that much growth history but with a budget lower than 300 k, they are the affordable ones for an...

Dear Scot and Y-Man Thank you both for the detailed information about BC. I trying to get myself familiarised with it and digest paying $580 every three months that I did not include it in the list of expenses! Tanks again guys.

Dear all Recently I bought a unit in Laverton and later on found out that it had a body corporate. The selling agent said it did not and it was not in section 32. I recieved an invoice of $580 for three months from the so called body corporate. I realised they charge this money for doing...

Hi everyone I need your advice on this please. I have found a nice 3 Bedroom house with a bargain price. I inspected it. Could not find any obvious damp, heave, movement , etc. There was a small crack on the ceiling of a bedroom. I wanted to make an offer subject to building and pest...

Thanks Jamie and Hodge. Sure, I will remember to get the contacts from you.

Hi guys I am back in the market two years after I sold my IPs. This week I bought two IPs to start with. Before, I used to do all the maintenance job through the agent and it was costly, as they would charge a big fee even for changing a door nub. Now, I have decided to do the maintenance...

Thanks for the encouragement Thanks guys first of all sorry for the typo (poverty for property). It is again a sign of being over 50! And thank for the encouraging words. I think as long as it is not for greed, I will be allright. I enjoy PI as a hobby and eventualy the CG will go towards...

Dear all I need your advise in getting into poverty investment again. I had some IPs but I sold them a couple of years ago because of divorce settlement. Now, I have got up to 200k in the bank and I want to put it towards the deposit for buying new of IPs. Do you think it is too old for (52...

Hi Ace, In the invoice it says that a fault light. I may need to go back to the agent and ask it was light fitting too.

No, it is not in the contract. They said just they could not contact me. As you said the money is spent already and I suppose I should ask them to call me next time.

Yes, $80 for the service all and $ 80 for the job.

Hi guys I have received an invoice from my agent for my IP(which has already been deducted from the rent) for $160. It is from an electrician for changing the light which was apparently burnt up in the kitchen. They did not ask me for this as they say they called me but could not find me...

Thanks for the hints Peter.
