Sorry for late notice but I can't make today. Have fun.

I'm keen but depends on baby sitting. Will confirm closer to the date.

We signed our contract in November last year and still have things to finalize before we can get to site. Our builder completely stuffed up the planning and approvals. They were however very good at working with us to get a design we like. Next time I'd go with a smaller builder. When we...

We went ahead with two retain and builds in thornlie a couple of years ago. At the time the numbers didn't really stack up but we did it anyway mainly for the experience. However for us the risk was low because the front houses could stay rented the whole time. Luckily the market has moved a bit...

Or marry a good administrator! That's what I have.

We used megaseal. Shower leaked again in a couple of years. We were advised we had only paid for the walls and not the floor so wasn't covered under their warranty. Perhaps check they do the whole shower if you use them.

I'm interested in this too. My purpose would be to pay off our ppor off firstt. I've read a few things saying it's possible to claim the additional borrowing expenses but I think it goes back to your Intent. I'd also like to continue to earn ff points for property expenses and pay the...

Doh...just saw this thread. I'd love to come...trying to get out of my current Sat engagement.

We sacked our pm a couole of years ago. They were hopeless and weren't doing their job. We should have given them written notice to allow them to fix the issues as per the agreement but we just wanted out because they were so bad. They ended up taking us to court for breaking the contact (I...

I expect somebody working for me to be as professional as I am in my day job. Nobody ever has to send me an email twice. It took us three goes...now we've finally got a good agent.

My sister makes us go along to a degustation for her birthday each year. We've been to a fancy place in the Barossa, Jackson's and most recently Amuse. Jackson's was nice but I felt expensive for what we got. The place in the Barossa had a horrible gamey jus through a few of the dishes. Amuse...

If you're handy you couldybuy a second hand Ikea kitchen from the gum tree. We just sold ours for about a third of the price of new. Great quality and everything still works like new.

Well I managed to get my partner to come around to the idea of using a broker...we're currently using property finance online who have been great. We're splitting the loans between ANZ and Bankwest. All loans now sit at 80%or lower...no cross collatorisation. Separate loans have been setup...

We're currently using property finance online based in Palmyra. Service and knowledge has been great so far.

It's a great feeling isn't it. I think ours might also have just ticked over to cash flow positive...although it's taken more like eight years for us! Every year we lost money I questioned if we were doing the right thing. It now makes it feel worth while.

Well now I'm reading about 'debt recycling'. I hadn't even heard about it until today, but it sounds like something that might be of benefit for our situation. Starting to feel like I'm getting in way over my head! Seems to me like I need to see not only a mortgage broker but a financial...

We use house sitters regularly to look after our dogs. Happyhousitters website. Housesitters pay to join the site free for homeowners. We always have multiple applicants and have a one bed house in Perth. The longer the vacancy usually the more that are interested. You could then try and get a...

Now I'm starting to understand why a good broker can be helpful! 1) Colin, yes, we have had bad experiences with brokers in the past. Firstly because of poor structuring (the broker came recommended to us and I don't believe he looked after us) and secondly because of having a slow...
