    Any one on SS renovates for profit?

    Keen to hear from any one on Somersoft that renovates for profit either part time or full time basis. By this I mean purchasing a dump of a property that has potential, complete renovation (bit more than just installing a new kitchen) and putting it on the market to sell say within 4 - 6...

    Building ppor with cash

    I have a hypothetical question. Say for example you are planning to build your ppor. The chance of it ever becoming an ip is 1%. If you had enough cash in the bank to build the house would it be wise to use the cash to build instead of getting a loan? Once the build is complete equity...

    2.7m or 3m high ceilings??

    Hi Everyone, Just wondering has anyone on SS built a property with 3m high ceilings? I am in the planning stages of designing my PPOR and want something with a bit of wow factor and thought 3m high ceilings might achieve this? The downside to having such high ceilings is the extra cost...

    Does anyone on SS use loans.com? I would never use them but often wonder why their rate is so low? Just reading on their website they offer: 4.29% Offset account redraw I've read some of the reviews and basically the 2 main negatives customers keep mentioning are bad service and...

    Long story short.... Settled on a house December last year. Purchased at auction $582K. Three friends attended auction (didn't know they were going to be there) and upon winning the house all told me I paid $25k too much!

    warranty on building work and non payment

    I have a hypothetical question. If for example you hire a tradie to renovate your bathroom, you pay the tradie several progress payments but once finished do not pay the final balance, does the tradie still need to warranty the work seeing that the balance hasn't been paid? In other words...

    Vendor not allowing final inspection

    Hopefully only a hypothetical question but could be a problem for me. What could a purchaser do if the vendor will not allow a final inspection because "she's too stressed and emotional" about moving? I don't really want to inspect the property on the day settlement as it will be hard to fix...

    western suburbs Melbourne hot?

    Is it just me or is purchasing something decent in the western suburbs getting harder? I'm talking more about inner west within a 15km radius to cbd. Seems like once a property is listed sells within 2 weeks at a ridiculous price. Isn't winter supposed to be quite especially with all the...
