Please don't bundle us FIFO all into the same box. Like any profession,suburb,school,office block, some make it some don't. I have heard of kids working at maccas saving every dollar and buying an ip when they turn 18 others at maccas have just spent their money on more maccas. The only...

It's a pity the true finished costs of the complete Reno from purchasing the property to the fall of the hammer are not available to the viewers. I would guess that money was actually lost in the end. The reserves were way to low, and yes the show had to make up for the fall out from last...

Thanks for the replies on the Mandurah market. it really is as flat as a pancake. Yes anything under 450k seems to sell quickly. The high end stuff getting very stale. I was having a look around the South Harbour yesty and surprising enough the last few remaining blocks have finally got some...

Ausprop Do you still follow the Mandurah market? If so how do you see it at present? The rents have held though and l still get regular 6 month increases. Yields still crap. I have noticed a lot of props selling the past 6 months but prices haven't moved at all. My friend purchased an...

I seen that show too. Couldn,t believe the stupidity of the choices they had made to "look good" in the eyes of all those around them with big house flash cars. They had it all except time. Wonder where they are now ? Cheers Yadreamin

Thanks for those reply,s you have been a great help. Thought it wouldn't be too hard to solve the problem. My friend no longer deals with the broker in any way . She just wants to sort it all out now without engaging the services of anyone. She just doesn't trust anyone any more. Long story...

Rounding up and putting it all online Excuse me for jumping in on this thread but l am sure one of you share investors can answer my questions. My friend has accumulated a large amount of shares during the past 50 years. All been purchased through a broker. There is also a parcel of an...

Anything that hits the market in SilverSands sells very quickly. A large apartment and retail complex has been approved in this area. Not sure if that's why the market is so good. ( buyers market )Big blocks and old houses / shacks everywhere in this suburb a scattering of nice new homes. You...

Wow some real gems in this thread, and some great long time SS ers putting out some good advice/info. So after 2.5 years working my but off to recover from the GFC l am finally getting my head above water again. Hard lessons learnt. Extra cautious now with where my $ will go and l WILL have...

Hi All Thought l would pop back in and let you know the garage floor came up fabulous. I took pinkboys advice .....90 % prepertion I set myself up with all the tools l needed and plenty of time. I did the acid wash no worries, slow and steady. I actually think the girls in the store scared...

Thanks Pinkboy. Just the advice l needed. I guess l was just a bit scared of the acid washing part. I think if l set myself up well don't rush have the hose near by l should be just fine I will look into those products you suggest and see if any are available here in the wild west. cheers...

Thanks MTR .I must have a read. Another sold near me yesterday.:) I actually do think prices have crept up a bit in the last 2 months. Been poking around a bit this morning ad l am quietly happy with what see:) cheers yadreamin

Thanks Wylie for the link. I think the epoxy looks good where you have put it. Once it starts to powder it gets very slippery so l wouldn't put it on the patio if l were you cheers yadreamin

Thanks for the feed back. I did do a lot of research into the epoxy coating which l think looks great. Dulux are no longer producing this product so l would not be able to re coat in 10 years if needed. Also they found that if you got sunlight on the floor the epoxy would start to powder. Even...

I have noticed an increase of sold properties in the last month 2 sold in our street this week alone. the houses selling seem to be 500k and under or development blocks. There is a lot of stock out there to choose from and there is some screaming bargains to be had in the Million $...

Hi All Been awhile but good to see a few of the old names contributing well. I am in need of some good advice. SS is a one stop shop for that. I have a new garage cement floor which has a door that leads directly into the house. I want to seal/paint the floor to eliminate the concrete dust. I...

Your still on the money Ausprop. Most of the action up here in mining has gone from construction to production in the last 6 to. 8 months so yes there has been some culling. There will be more as productions becomes streamlined. There is still a lot of workers getting whopping big pay packets...

Lizzie Check out your local land care or similar for your area, even you local shire/council. All of the above at times provide free native tubular plants for their areas. You are far better off putting in tubular or seedlings because it has been proven that they adapt without much stress and...

Thankyou for the replies You have given me a good starting point. Its awful when they are so exausted and mentally run down that they cannot see that help is available. Big thanks yadreamin

Hi All I need some advice for those involved in the health system in Victoria. Mt Helena to be exact. My very dear friend is currently in the position of having to care for her 80 yr old mother who has just gone through a very rigorous regime of chemo and radiation. The situation is that Mum...
