hope to achieve dunno melburnian, i've double the rent and upped the value of the purchase by @70% in 18 monthsm but you're right; stay in the cities....

hi hoping for some advice about painting a huge old victorian weatherboard. many of the boards are flaky and some are cracked. the current paint is an acrylic. after prep, should i undercoat the whole lot or just use 2 coats of topcoat? what difference does the undercoat make? (there aren't...

hi thanks for the attachement but it is only melb suburbs. have you got country vic as well?

the lake has some water over most of it now, with lots of reeds poking through. there must have been several thousand people up there on sunday enjoying the spring sunshine, many of them from melbourne

and who would pay for the roads, hospitals, schools, centrelink, pensions, airports, power stations, water connections, dams, sewerage, police and personnel to accommodate the hoards AS THEY ARRIVE? tis a concept to suggest that we invite and host hoards but the infrastructure doesn't drop...

we have a property in chinchilla (12 months old, 3 bed townhouse). was rented at $465/wk furnished. dropped the rent to $330. has now been untenanted since the end of march. no tenant on the horizon. go for the longest lease you can till the mining issues are settled. could be prudent to...

a number of times i've used a local whose family have been solicitors for generations in ballarat. he is probably half the price of the one quoted above and always delivers ontime. curwen-walker conveyancing;53313511

i sincerely agree that peter costello should consider a triple bypass resurrection. it was a sad day when he resigned. on the other point; to purposefully mis-vote is a betrayal of personal responsiblity. when so many people make uninformed votes, it's so much more important for thinking people...

are the tenants paying the outgoings as is usual with com's? pretty good return and stable tenant, worth a look.....

if the area and zoning stack up, you could try approaching some successful fast food outlets in your area and see if they are interested in doing a deal to open another outlet in one of your shops. you could offer them assistance to setup or some time at a reduced rate. don't be too generous...

i have no idea what language they use but the personal satisfaction of putting some bulldogs after a non-payer is a delightful idea. doesn't matter to me how much angst they get trying to recover. one of my pet grizzles is the way the system is so skewed towards the tenant's favour. is this...

have talked to this mob. apparently, for $44/yr if managed by an agent or $88/yr if self managed, this mob will pursue your non-paying tenant for up to 10 years for the unpaid rent. sounds worth the personal satisfaction if nothing else? wondered if anyone had used them?

how do i access the register for vic? is there one that is australia wide?

hi all just a heads up about a property that my partner bought in Chinchilla about a year ago. it is a furnished townhouse that has been returning $465/wk but the tenant moved out three weeks ago and since then, there have been no nibbles at all. so it appears that we will have to have all...

c'mon, someone on here must be.......?

so how many on this forum have actually achieved the ato rental business classification? ie, officially being in the business of rental property?

by the way, be careful of the $15,000 deck. look up the meaning of overcapitalisation and then do some sums to see how long it will take you to pay for...... scary that one. a grand or two spent on paving may be more sensible.

congratulations on your first purchase. if you keep your head on straight, in years to come, you will greatly bless your daddy for his wisdom and generosity. firstly, dispell thoughts of selling. you've just paid out heaps in fees, charges, stamp duty, interest etc. keep the thing as it will...

time to get some other quotes.... the tiles would retail for about $80, the waterproofing stuff wouldn't be more than $15, etc. even at $100/hr, that quote seems high. going in from the other side probably wouldn't work.
