    Which trade for Dishwasher install

    I would get your local cabnet maker or handyman to make the adjustments. The standard opening is around 600mm, so they will just take one cupboard out and cut the kicker down the bottom. You will then need a plumber to put hose connections in the opening Cheers Bushy

    Positive experiences with trusts

    Hi Propola, Start to look at the end picture and then work backwards to organize your structure for holding property. At the moment you have 2 IP's in your own name, one has been your PPOR so if you need to sell one, this would be it. You probably only receive a small Land Tax bill as you...

    4% + GST Management Fee

    How about doing your maths, and then looking at it from your PM's point of view. Assuming all the IPs rent for the same amount ie 10k per yr (to make it easy) 5% of 40k = 2k 4% of 50k = 2k So basically you are asking them to do all the extra work on the next one for zip. PS I pay 10%...

    pros and cons of periodic lease

    In SA. Periodic = 60days notice to raise rent, terminate lease. We tried to keep previous tenants on their toes by telling them we would go to periodic when their lease ended (they were always good near the end of the lease), we could then move them on easier. But the better solution was a 3...

    Selling off the back half of our block...

    Hi Just, Have you considered buying next door, you already have a head start on the developer. We had the opportunity to buy the pop behind us a few years back for 250k and thought it too expensive. Since then rents have risen and it would be cash neutral. Not to mention development...

    Selling off the back half of our block...

    Hi Just, You might only have to pay for a boundary realignment which is about 3k. If he can only get 2 on the block next door and he can get 4 with your back half it might be worth more that 170k. Your place might even be worth more than next door if your place is worth an extra 3 sites...
