So this is the ensuite of the tumble-down cottage we just bought. The tiles are cracked, and mismatched, the shower recess is so dirty, I think that the glass doors are ruined with etched limescale, the vanity doors are hanging off, and it looks to me as if it hasn't been waterproofed properly...

Has anyone used innerbath.com.au? Just wondering if they look as good as the pics show. Also, there is no indication of cost on the site.. wondering if anyone can give me a ballpark figure on how much one of these might cost? Cheers! Julia

So the fireplace dominates the room and has at least 5 different finishes/colours I can see in the photo alone. (Negotiating access to the property pre-settlement as I type.. I think it has more in person.) I'm all for features.. but the slate has.to.go. Here she is: And I want it...

My old PPOR is on the market.. llisted a week or so ago. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-mirrabooka-109559586 We had plans of extending/recladding etc. The inside is all done and it's rented out at $260 a week. Very solid little house with lake glimpses. Had an offer...

that I did on the cheap.. finally got some pics of the "after" loaded. I used the same kitchen carcass and cupboard doors (I took the outer panel off the door frame for each door, painted it with metallic effects, and then reaffixed it to the inner side of the door.) Amazing what a paint job...

I've never made an offer on a house that was listed as $XYZ + before. I'm not sure exactly how to approach it. Theoretically I could just offer $201k.. correct? Or should I try to go lower than the $200k? Would the lower limit be something that the vendor has put into effect? Hmm.. don't...

Just logged in.. surprised my login still worked, actually! Apparently I last visited on 20-06-2005. Wow how time files! I had to sell a lot of my properties as I was negatively geared, got retrenched and got chronic fatigue, then had two kids accompanied with shocker pregnancies. Just...

I'm selling a townhouse in Southport. The agent I have approached ahs the standard 5% for the first $18,000, thereafter, 2.5%. They are also trying to sell me an advertising package for about $5000. This includes costs for showing the property at about $800 per showing. It also includes...

Hi Folks, well I got made redundant 2 weeks ago, and I have decided to spend the time and redundancy payout on a renovation. I have a house in Cessnock that was purchased as a one bedroom house for $51k about 5 years ago. The bathroom had been installed into the second bedroom. The...

Hi everybody! I have a very interesting conundrum!! I have received some correspondance from my PM. Apparently my tenant has been breaking by-laws, and the strata title manager has requested the tenant be given notice to quit. Simple so far.... The PM has inspected the property...

Hi Folks.. I have to admit that I'm getting really tired of programming, and there is so much I want to do with my properties, but I lack the time. Eventually I'd like to move into investing full time, but I'm not sure how to approach this. I can imagine that it would be much easier if...

I've just bought an old fibro house (dump?) and it's quite a "picture". I'm not going to be able to make it look "normal" so I thought I might as well make it look "unique". I want to paint it a darkish colour, but I'm wondering about the aluminium windows. Has anybody had any...

I signed up to have a sticky beak on the foreclosures site. Today I go the following email - looks interesting and as it's free (apart from the overseas phone call) so I might call in... ______________________________________________ Hello Fellow Real Estate Investor, I just wanted...
