M_Yapa, Have you decided on an investment path? Is this ballarat property going to be a buy and hols. buy renovate and rent or buy renovate and sell, ot maybe buy demolish and build? ] Holly

Yes 13% is actually average. Summer time you can see it rise to 15%+ depending on where the Holiday rental is situated. Holly

Another great place to advertise it is Gumtree :) Have you thought about buying a really cheap country block and moving the 2 bedder yourself - could be a great weekender for you (or to rent out) ...I love options :) Holly

infinity, How did this situation end up for you? Was it your insurance or up to the tenants? Curious :) Holly

If the property is vacant I'd say that putting a sign up could attract attention to the property (thiefs etc). Agree the internet is the important place to advertise. Holly

Read that same article and did a bit of a search... yes there are certainly some bargains on the market at the moment. And I believe more in the coming 12 months. Holly

Nice work Devank! Will give it a shot myself this afternoon! Holly

Hi Ms Jade, Having a tint put through the coat is inexpensive and with lighter colored boards will take away the "yellow" type of look. Darker boards have the perception of being more expensive, so good to do for that reason too :) Holly

Will you be painting or re wallpapering? Haven't heard of lining paper to fill cracks before but have used multi purpose basecoat and it works a treat ( and yes concur with Pa1nter- it can do 2 houses!) Holly

Such a difficult situation to be in :( Do any of the other upstairs units have laminate flooring? Can you speak to them about what underlay they have used to lessen the noise to the below units? For sanity purposes I'd be paying for the acoustic underlay, the noise factor "for enjoyment" would...

Autocad is usually used, just depends on the Agency and what programs they have in their office :) Holly

How many of the units are owner occupied? Knock on a few doors and see if anyone can give you information about the last meeting as waiting for Body Corp to get information to you can sometimes take a while :)

Agree with Jamie- Your property, your choice of Agent for PM or for Sales. Your property investing should be run like a business, not a favour to a friend :)

I hope you did buy it on your credit card - great frequent flyer points ;) Holly

Scan your street for well manicured gardens and see if anyone would like your bushes and branches for mulch :) Also check in with your neighbours, you may find someone has one you could lend :)
