    Rutherford IP has not been rented from xmas

    If it is in the area of Rutherford that I think it is (southside of the New England Highway in the area just across from the Rutherford shops), then that could be a factor. I believe that area does contain some housing commission. I also agree on some of the comments that have also been made...

    Census 2015

    FYI, the Census is in 2016... And the first results don't usually come out until early on the year after.

    Paid magazines?

    Aside from the written publications, I find that the Real Estate Talk, Your Money Your Call, and Your Property Empire (the latter two on Sky Business) podcasts can contain useful information at times.

    Cheap and easy benchtop covering?

    For that sort of money, you're probably best off resurfacing. Something like the Rust-oleum Countertop Transformations is what I'd imagine most would recommend in that price bracket.

    Whyalla

    I could almost say that's as bad, if not worse than all the spruikers flogging the other mining areas in QLD and WA. Well overpriced. Those yields are quite low as well for Whyalla. I suspect these could be ones in parts of Whyalla Norrie and Whyalla Stuart that have had semi's knocked down so...

    nolandtax.com.au

    Some of you may know that the ACT government is phasing out stamp duty and upping the cost of ongoing rates/land tax. They don't even have thresholds like NSW and most other states, so any investment property gets charged land tax no matter what the value. I just received my land tax bill for...

    Mince meat

    Head to the meat wholesalers if you want to save money - I use Tasman Meats here in Melbourne for my mince. Their premium is $6.99 a kilo and regular is $3.99 a kilo :)

    Water rates, SA Water

    I had the same thing happen to me on a place I bought at the end of last year. It turned out the vendor's conveyancer failed to pay the amount owing, up until settlement, which should have been done upon settlement. I got my conveyancer to work it out with the vendor's conveyancer, and...

    How livable is Melbourne CBD?

    I lived in Southbank for a couple of years and would pick it over the CBD any day. Far enough from the genuine hustle and bustle, but still within walking distance to everything, and also so close to South Melbourne, my favourite suburb :) Where I was was still noisy, but I could live with...

    Thoughts on Werribee?

    The areas of Werribee known as Birdsville (streets with bird names) and Woodville (bordered by Derrimut Rd, Heaths Rd and the train line) have a bad rep. A guy I work with who lives in the part of Werribee south of the train line reckons that's the more well-regarded part of Werribee, and AFAIK...

    temporary free Pricefinder login

    I believe that this is a personal account, and probably only permits one session at a time. This is the most likely explanation why people can't log in intermittently.

    Free API Digital Subscription (Brisbane +Maybe Others)

    Yep, same deal with Melbourne Library, gone from there. Gone from Brimbank as well I see. I suspect that someone from API got wind of it (maybe even on here lol), figured would mean decreased sales, and pulled it. Insecurities?

    Government employees

    Pretty much. What level of government are you looking at? I alluded to it before, but Federal Government has a recruitment freeze operational, which means all vacancies must be filled from within the APS. Any external recruitment will be done only if they can't fill jobs from within existing...

    Government employees

    I've been a fed govt employee since graduating from uni 7.5yrs ago. I think it's a great option to start out of uni and get into the workforce, as it is a secure job (comparatively to the private sector) with good pay amd conditions (flextime has already been mentioned). However, once you get...

    subscription to API or YIP

    Just join your local library service that has access to eMagazines, and you can get access to download API for zip. Previous thread where this was discussed: somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95787&highlight=Zinio

    PMs in Maitland

    Hi all, I'm over my current PM who manages my house in Rutherford, because of a severe lack of communication. Emails and phone calls rarely get replied to, and the latest episode has seen me trying to get a response for the last 3.5 weeks. Therefore I'm in the market for a new PM. I know...

    Import Japanese car

    Depends on what you're after and whether you want to import it or just buy one that's already imported, complied and registered. I personally haven't had one imported, but I'd rather save the hassle and buy one already landed than waiting for weeks or months to get it bought, shipped and...

    Aircon replacement

    Don't see why not. I doubt there is any regulation. Just make sure you get the gas disconnected from the heater by a qualified plumber/gasfitter.
