Haha I'm listening in to a convo in this cafe in Osborne park and I'm wondering if this guy is a Somerset regular. He seems to really know his stuff!! I enjoyed it. Others were asking him questions and I knew a lot of the answers myself. I learnt some knew stuff too. Cafe is called "the...

Haven't been able to sell my ip and it's been 5 months now. It's gone stale. Does it really just take 2 months off the market to refresh it? I was thinking of taking it off the market and putting it back on the market in the first half of next year, maybe March. The other option is to put...

Hi I've decided against doing the single dwelling construction behind the house. I explained why in another thread but mainly because it would be too stressful. Would it be as stressful to go through the process of DA to subdivide and sell the back lot? I know it would mean NG the front...

Hi, I'd planned to move back into my PPOR next January when the lease runs out. However there is a spanner in the works now as the tenant wants to leave 1month early. I'm thinking about leasing my ppor as periodic tenancy as it will give me greater flexability in that I can move in when I...
