Anybody? We desperately need to spend more time together. I feel like all I do is work and clean. If someone knows a good cleaner I would be extremely grateful.

Hi guys, Can anyone recommend a good cleaner in the Bayside area? We only have a small 3bdrm 1 bthrm house and I wanted someone very reliable and honest that isn't very expensive and is willing to do all cleaning including bathrooms, toilets, floors, dishes, dusting, scrubbing, windows...

Hi, I'm after some recomendations for a property valuer in Melbourne that isn't too expensive and will give us fair market value for CGT purposes. We are turning our PPOR into an IP and need this done in the next few weeks. We are in the Melbourne bayside area. Many thanks.

Congrats again. When is settlement? Also, who will you be using for renos? We need timber floors and a new kitchen.

Sorry my mistake : ) blonde moment. Congrats. You will love living here. And it's nice to be able to add your own touches to a home. At least from a girls pov.

Also, I'm not sure how this changes things but I don't think the house you are looking at is in the MGC zone.

Good luck! Let us know how you go. : ) we were so close to being able to afford a house in Chelt but budget was just out ($550k) and the only ones around for that price were on main roads or needing extremely extensive renos. I'm happy with our little townhouse though. The next one will be our...

Hi ironpaw. Just from the perspective of someone that lives in Cheltenham, you are going to love being close to Southland. You don't realize how handy it is to have a shopping centre at your doorstep until you live next to one. Have lived in Chelt for the past 2 years (I grew up in Glenhuntly...

Thanks vvsingh. VERY excited about being able to stay in the area. We can't wait to move.

Hi All, I'm a complete newbie to property investment and I'm thorougly confused on what tax we will be paying for our IP and when and what we should be doing now so I apologise if these questions have been covered before or seem a bit naive. Our situation: We have bought our second home...

Hi kenster, No, we ended up with Highett. It's a very similar layout and size to Edithvale just a bit older (Edithvale is 5yrs old and Highett is 12yrs old) and minus double garage and less courtyard space. But Edithvale is 27k from CBD while Highett is 16k. Train station is same distance...

Hi all, Many thanks for all of your opinions. In the end after much consideration we have ended up with...drumroll.... http://www.realestate.com.au/property-villa-vic-highett-106791605 The choices were: http://www.realestate.com.au/property-unit-vic-edithvale-106387557 Sold for...

Frankston would probably be too far for us seeing as how I work in the city and have to commute every day but Edithvale only adds 10 mins to my current journey on the same line. Highett is our second preference but I'm concerned at it's size. While the rest of the house isn't too bad, the...

Hi rg11, Carnegie is a great suburb but I'm talking about particular properties that are available now. There is nothing comparable in Carnegie in our price range. We would prefer to keep it under $550k and lower if we can. We would pay a little more but only for a very special property. : )

Hi Spiderman. Many thanks for the quick reply. That is a very good point about the single garage in Mordialloc and I was also worried about how many there are in the complex. The other thing that appeals about Edithvale is the layout and the way it felt homely when we walked in. I'm thinking...

Hi, My husband and I are about to purchase our second home. We are planning to live in it for the next 5-10 years and would then like to ultimately keep it as an IP, or if we have to sell it, I want to know that we have made the best decision from an investment POV and picked the one that...

Thanks for your replies everyone. It looks like we might keep it for a while after all.

Thanks M&M. It would be good to keep it. Just not sure how a 1bdrm would go as an investment. We would probably get between $240-$270 rent for it. What is LOC?

We are planning to use about $22k of the equity in the flat as a deposit for our next one. The one thing I was worried about is that the good performance of it may be because we bought during a brief slump in sales and had it valued when sales peaked about six weeks ago. My other worry...

Okay, thanks. So we should probably pay for an independent valuation then as the bank won't release the one they did to us.
