I swear by the Sard wonder stick, you just rub it on and leave it until you are ready to do the normal wash and throw the item in as normal. Haven't had a problem yet, even with my delightful two year old who loves to get super messy. I am not sure it will work after already soaking, however...

I have a house I want to build on a block of land.. House will cost $225K Land cost $115K I can borrow $272K I was originally looking for an already built house so was planning on borrowing as much as I could then sticking enough cash in an offset account to make it look after itself...

That posting on somersoft has now become super stressful after reading this. I now have to consider if I will end up on the "101 ways to annoy people on somersoft thread" every time I post :p

Love it, what a great way to put it. Thanks for the encouragement! :)

I would be interested in reading the responses to this as I have been looking at exactly the same scenarios right down to the price and size of the building option. I am leaning towards the building option at the moment. :)

Thanks Yorkiefish, Unfortunately I fiddled around too long and missed out. I am not worried, just going to put it down to a valuable learning experience. I gained a lot of knowledge by working through the dd and asking questions on here. I was getting a little too emotional about it anyway...

I have an almost 2 year old. . . talk about full on!

When we changed over we let the new PM handle it, we just signed a letter they wrote on our behalf and handover was 30 days later, not a thing needed to be done from our end regarding the hand over. We had been with them for over 12 months and had to give 30 days notice.

It is brick, and I almost certain it would have been made like that when it was originally built. There is 3 in the same street that are the same so going to guess this was a popular choice with the particular builder 5 or so years ago? Thank you it did. I thought this was probably the...

This sounds exactly what it could be, the path was literally not touching the building at all in some parts. There was also this black foam kind of stuff in between the house and path.

nope, that would have been helpfull hey! :o

I am looking at a property that has some cracks that I would love some feedback on. They are not huge at all as the first time I viewed the property I didn't notice. When I went back to check it out again i was paying very carefull attention to everything so they stood out to me. It is a...

Ant rid is great, mine always came back in a few days, especially in the bathroom. We finally figured out our problem was trees touching the side of the house. gave them all a trim/got rid of them and haven't had a problem since. Not sure if it is the case at your place but make sure no...

Thanks for that Rob. Goes to show how you need to change your mindset if you want to be a serious investor! What a bargin!

when I purchased my ppor I used the building/pest inspection as a condition of the contract, is this right or should I be doing it before I put in an offer? Great advice about the rea it makes sense. :D Thanks will keep that in mind if i decide to put in an offer.

Thanks for replying monsoon. I would never buy a house without getting a pest and building inspection makes me nervous even thinking about it. Especially a place that seems like a good price and has been sitting on the market a while. Keep in mind I am looking at regional not in a capital...

Thanks guys, love having some feedback! Everything stacks up quite well, I still feel like I have missed something obvious however my gut feeling is that it would be a great purchase. I am going to have another look tomorrow and see if there is anything else I can pick up that could be a...

I like reading these sort of posts it makes me feel more inspired! well done! I would be interested to know this also.

I am glad you wrote that because I have had rea wanting to give me these and thought there must be something like this going on.

so another random question from me. . . May seem I am all over the place with my questions, this may be the case. I am looking at lots of different options so I find something that fits. I am trying really hard to read between the lines with all the information I get. I am getting out there...
