    Any Western Sydney plumbers on here want to give me a quote?

    You might not need to replace the whole system. If there is a single blockage area that is causing the problem you could possibly reline that section and could cost you a lot less then a full excavation. Look at A1 Advanced Drainage Technologies. They have gear to put camera down the sewer line...

    Buying PPOR

    Exactly the reason we are looking to buy one good quality home we love, staying put and knocking the loan on it's head. In the short term, a 3 year fixed rate would provide some certainty of repayments. In my line of work, 3 year should see me over the 100k mark but I don't want to be basing my...

    Buying PPOR

    I calculated 7% just because i thought adding 2% on the rates is a good way to figure out if the mortgage would break us financially. We are people who love spending time at home with family opposed to holidays away. To myself it seems like something I am willing to tackle. It's got character...

    Dual Income Property. Resi & Commercial

    Ok, just did some more searching about and calling. Looks like that the 'commercial lease' is not a commercial lease at all, rather it's the owners business paying $300 a week rent which apparently they are happy to sign onto a 3 year contract (residential). The business being conducted is a...

    Multi Dwelling Question

    Hi Everyone, Quick question. Looking at a property that has had an extension on the original property, long story short I have worked out a way to turn the front half into a 3 bedder and rear into a 2 bedder. Purchase price will likely be around the 300-350 mark and potential rent is $600+...

It's completely renovated, the whole property is...

    What sacrifices have you made during your property investment journey?

    When my partner and I moved into our first house we were only 20 and 23, I had been jumping from job to job trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to do and just before the purchase I had decided to get a trade behind me at least, so I was a first year plumbing apprentice. At the time, my...
