    What to do with existing lead paint?

    Thanks for the replies. Yes looking to demo and rebuild in about 6 months if the number work. Otherwise will look to sell. To be honest, I don't know what the wall lining is but I've never seen walls like it before. The top half is embossed metal and the bottom half is timber. And yes, I'm...

    What to do with existing lead paint?

    G'day! Have an old cheapie that needs some cleaning. The house is about 90 years old and it quite likely has lead paint. A few areas are peeling which is concerning me. Currently is it not tenanted and is empty. From what I've been told (and my own research), a professional painter needs to...

    Our 1st Development

    Demo costs may blow up if asbestos needs to be removed prior. I'm doing something similar to an ancient 2br weatherboard house and demo cost with asbestos removal was about 30k ballpark. Will be getting an inspection for an accurate quote later.

    IT Jobs - Is It As Safe A Profession As It Once Was?

    IT jobs haven't been safe for the past decade. Australia has adopted overseas cost centers comparatively slowly compared to other western nations but we're kinda there now. I have a very hands-on role. Yes someone can do the bulk of the work off-site but there's always going to be a need for...

    iPad Air vs Tab S?

    Peter is on the money (as usual!). I used to recommend the Surface Pro to small businesses when I used to consult. Think of it as a windows computer in the form of a tablet. I must say that there is a bigger learning curve for Windows 8 when compared to Android and iOS, if you're not used to...

    What to do now? (post B&P)

    How long has it been on the market for? If it has been on the market for a long time, the vendor could be more open to a price negotiation or they might fix it for you if you request.

    iPad Air vs Tab S?

    I've used Tab S, iPad and Surface. It really depends what you want to use the tablets for and how tech savvy you are. If you're not tech savvy, go for the iPad. It works and this is what I would choose. Tab S is ok, heaps more affordable but I wouldn't use it. Surface is awesome but its...

    Teeth Whitening:)

    Crest strips work well basing it on my cousin's teeth. Her teeth are super white and I dare not even smile near her because mine look terrible compared to hers. Bloody Americans and their flawless smiles! I had my teeth professional done (in chair) a couple of years ago. I don't drink coffee...

    Selling My Property to Start Restaurant

    Hi Noball, I feel for you. This is a property investor forum, so the answers will be in favour to keeping the property :D And for good reason too! When you look back at the purchase, it was a good move wasn't it? I reckon you should keep it if you're happy with it. Losing it to a risky business...
