I recently had an interstate holiday for two weeks. While I was there I took a day to see my IP and carry out some minor repairs, as the property was only about an hour from where I was staying. My question is: What portion, if any, of my holiday expenses can I claim against my IP from a tax...

I get daily emails from new listings in Logan, price range 150-250k. I've noticed in the past couple of months rental yields are beginning to slip, particularly in the 100s range. I don't know if these listed prices translate to higher sold prices, but from where I stand I like what I see. Is...

Interesting opinions here. Some accurate, some skewed.

Nathan is frequently in the media, I reckon he puts his hand up for interviews, comment etc. whenever he gets the opportunity. What a way to promote your business.

Pay for it. I've heard too many bad stories to cheap out when it comes to termites. We're getting ours retreated this year which is one year before the retreatment date. There seems to be some confusion between treatment companies and the body corp as to exactly when it was last done, so we'll...

How many emails must one send to receive a reply from a property manager? As it stands my manager in Logan has never replied to my email in the first instance. I've always had to follow up. It's not looking good for these guys.

I recently bought my first IP using advice from the good folks on this forum. Dropping $10k on "mentorship" would have been a waste of money for me. Somersoft will allow you to read, search, and ask questions. A combination of all these should be all you need to get started with a basic IP.

I am a fan of white mortar

Nope, no sign of Photoshop there.

A note about Google Maps - I've found satellite imagery on many occasions to be a lot more up to date than Street View. The street I live in has about 2 years variation.

Was that rent at purchase or is that the current rent?

Should have spoken to Brian Cox

MRCCON, that looks great! I haven't tried any of the 'automatic' apps/software out there. For editing photos to produce visualisations I use Photoshop. 12 years of experience with the program as a graphic designer I'm sure means much more power and control over image manipulation. I'm...

Good post JacM. The question wasn't very clear but I think you identified what the op was asking and answered well.

You don't think it makes it all too dark/goth lizzie?

So funny, somebody should link the agent this thread

They've got a clear lacquer on them which gives them a slight sheen. Would you remove this and try and bring out some more of the original redness?

Really? I'm surprised by the majority advising not to paint the bricks. This is what I was envisaging, kind of like a grey on grey combo as a feature: Keep the hearth quite dark to hide the ash/mess. Perhaps I'll rethink this one and leave as is, while only changing the pink. The property...

If the earth was subject to some kind of cataclysmic event resulting in the breakdown of society, I'd want physical gold under my bed. Then I can at least trade it for lots of land when we're reduced to a dark age society!
