    How to determine a structural wall?

    "cut roof" aka "stick rooves" are still the most common over here in WA. I much prefered putting them up, as do I much prefer to live under one. Easiest way to work these sorts of things out is to have a flick through the relative timber framing codes in your state. It's not rocket science...

    Q. for broker/banker

    thanks very much. But you can't rest easy until settlement I guess, so until then, fingers crossed.] the place needs a bit of a face lift & a tidy up, but it's exactly what we were looking for.

    Q. for broker/banker

    Broker Comm's

    My partner & I have just bought our first place, and her parents asked her how much comm the broker gets from the bank we've gone with (BW).

    Getting to know AUS!

    Hi guys, I just wanted to know how you interstate investors got to know other states well enough to be able to buy there? This might sound incredibly obvious but did you just simply get on a plane & spend some time in other states? I know you can learn a lot from forums like SS, but surely...

    Ceiling Heights

    With great profits, comes great responsibility. If the $ is so good, why doesn't everybody build?? Not having a go, just saying you can't put them all in the same basket. For example, you must be some what happy with the quote which was the cheapest by 82k?? TBH, 82k sounds ridiculous...

    old house need work and I'm overwhelmed

    There are a lot of items there... but as Pa1nter said, they're all relatively small. Most of which can be taken care of by a handyman. Don't be afriad by the things requiring a tradesman (painter, roof plumber, carpenter) as these items are pretty small and pending a half decent tradesman it...

    BankWest, the bank of opportunity for FHB

    I was also told P&N and BW were the two who lend 95%. Well on paper they do. However, the BW loan was for BW customers, otherwise it was 90%. I'm sure they can revise your application for 90%? I suppose the question is: Who do I have to sleep with @ the insurance co???
