Aaah, thanks Depreciator, that makes sense now. Man, this depreciation/repairs area is a minefield. Thanks for answering so quickly. Will now look into floating floors for living areas, carpet for bedrooms, and vinyl for kitchen. Cheers

I need to change flooring in my IP. Will rip up all carpets and only replace in the 3 bedrooms. Need to put in some kind of flooring in rest of house including kitchen. I understand this will all fall under Capital works, but I have read somewhere on this forum where you can depreciate...

Really appreciate everyones comments and feedback, thanks. Carpet will have to stay unfortunately, can't afford anything else just yet. Although the carpet looks hideous, it is very clean and in really good nick. The house is kinda outdated, I know that, though the kitchen has just been...

DaveM.....yes the carpet is about the only negative in the place I think. And no, we wouldn't get more rent with new carpet I don't think. So the brown swirly whirly stuff stays for the time being. L&P.....The house did get taken off the internet for about a week when swapping agents...

Need competent PM Brisbane. IP vacant 3 months now My IP is in McDowall and has been sitting vacant for almost 3 months now. I've had a gutful of our original agent and they got the boot about a month ago. I then hired a new agent and seem to have jumped from the frying pan into the...

A friend with property at Sunshine Beach uses LJHooker at Peregian and raves about them. Hope that's of some help. May be worth looking into them.

OK, I'll chime in here with a coupla funnies: Anybody seen Remi the French Guy? Comedy gold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81szj1vpEu8 kangaroo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHCxdlZ7G18 snail He has a lot of funny stuff on youtube

Having just returned from a months holiday in uk; france; switzerland; italy, I now understand why some of the countries in the eu are having financial trouble. Service in UK was very good - maybe a prelude to olympic games. Service in Switzerland - poor, actually make that very bad. And...

Don't necessarily trust recommendatons for professionals from forums.

When DD was about 6 or 7yo she asked me innocently if I knew the difference between boys and girls. Expecting to have to give a little "talk" to her I answered Yes I do, but do you know the differnce? She answered: Oh yes Mum I do, it's all in the eyelashes. No need for that talk just...

You wanna know something for free??? Even Agents HATE auctions - I know this having worked for one. It's the Principals of the agency that like them for the quick turnover appeal. My agent hated them soooooo much for the stress factor involved pre, during (especially during) and post...

I'm by NO means an IT buff, but have been told that these social websites "contact" you thru a web of email addresses. That is, your email addy could be in somebodys contact list that signs on to LinkedIn etc.

Kathryn, your adventure sounds fun ! Did you organise your house-sits prior to coming to Oz or are you doing that as you go? Where are you finding the house-sit places anyway? Enjoy Oz and keep your posts coming.

Do hope global warming doesn't mess up your system Invstor !!

Here's my own little saying "buy cheap - sell cheap". Just keep that in mind.

Yeah Kamal, Princess & Cranbrook streets are just a hop-skip-jump from my Mums house. Very good area and only 10min walk to the local primary and high schools. Very quiet streets. You'd do well to buy around that area known as "Mitchelton Heights" - high on the hills there with the most...

Great tip Uncle Knackers !! I always end up in a big mess with silicone. Question: Will it work just as well with a Chocolate Paddle Pop though???

Look at Kelvin Grove, Red Hill, Paddington in Brisbane.

Know Mitchie very well, it's a vey good suburb. Presently though there're a lot of developments happening around Blackwood St (the strip-shops) that include affordable housing. Just along Osborne Rd near Brookside developers are trying to get 10floor buildings approved. So if you're thinking...

Really liked Mario Bros room this week - especially the ceiling! Winners room was nice but not a winner in my eyes. Also like the "black" room too, but as a study, seemed like a bit of a waste of space. Can't even remember what Chez's room looked like now. ha ha Firstly Chez...
