    You know the market's heated when.......

    Many people have said that you know the market is heated when the Cabbies are discussing buying property, or shop assistants, etc. Well, during the day, I often don't go anywhere, as I've got the Business to run. The Postie comes to collect the mail, and the odd customer, but that's about...

    The Longest Shower

    So...today I went to help Hubby with a reno. He'd taped up a couple of rooms for me to paint, and I get out the spray gun. It's been a while since I've done this and get started, only to have tiny droplets of paint going into my eyes. Oops, I'd forgotten the googles, so I get them &...

    Western Sydney Meetup - Wednesday 22/7/15

    So....now that you've all recovered from Wednesday night, I thought I'd just announce the next one. Two months interval seems to be a good time to me. Wenty Leagues seems to be a popular position. Although a bit of a drive for some, it's kind of a reasonably central position with plenty...

    Bringing forward Expenses

    With the end of the year looming, I was thinking of what expenses I can bring forward into this financial year, as Hubby will be retiring next year, so much less income. The obvious one is interest, but is there anything else? For instance, will Councils allow you to pre-pay Rates, etc? And...

    Tenant Psychology

    I was driving home, and a song came on the radio. Some of the words were: "I knew my rent was going to be late about a week ago, I worked my A.... off, but I just couldn't pay it though, I had about just enough to get down in this Club....." I can't remember the rest of it. Something...

    What year?

    I can't remember, and it's a public holiday, so I can't call my accountant, so where best to ask than here. What financial year does the sale of a property fall into if, contracts are signed in June (or earlier), but settlement doesn't happen until July?

    Conditions for Tenants

    Daughter has decided that if she can find anything within a reasonable price range, she may move out of home to be closer to work. She found this on Gumtree. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/yagoona/property-for-rent/room-for-rent-female-only/1071942363

    Get This!

    I was just speaking to a lady who is in a rental. She was going on, and on, and on about just how bad her rental place is, and that the landlord won't spend any money on it. One of those people that once they start talking, they don't stop, & I didn't want to be rude, so just let her waffle...

    Speachless!

    On the weekend, we looked at a couple of properties that were fresh on the market. At one property we were out the front waiting for the Open to, well, open. There were around 50 other people in the front yard. This was for a mediocre place in 2770. Another place we looked at, had...

    Is it Hot, or What?

    OMG! A house a couple of doors down from us had a 'Property Launch' just now. We went to have a look at it. You know, I've never seen so many people wandering through a house. I spoke to the Agent who thinks it was somewhere around 60 parties for this home, but they had another this...

    Another One Bites the Dust

    http://www.realestate.com.au/property-unit-nsw-kingswood-119066775 Bought this one in 2010. It was a spur of the moment purchase as it was going heaps cheaper than anything comparable. It didn't fit into what we'd normally buy, but couldn't resist at the price.;) The previous owner was...

    Depreciation

    Can the depreciation experts help me with a query please. So....I know someone who has just purchased a property that is a few years old. They told me how great it was, because they didn't have to waste money on paying for a depreciation schedule, as the previous owner had given them theirs...

    I am offering a FREE pair of BRAND NEW inline skates and a set of protective pads, suitable for a little girl. The skates are adjustable, so they fit sizes 12 - 1 and are white in colour with red highlights, and the pads are pink in colour. There is a small catch, they need to be picked up...

    I don't understand

    We've just had to get the Sheriff to do a lock out of a tenant. It's only the second we've had the displeasure to be forced to do. The first one the result of an embezzling Agent, and all the dodgy stuff you find out along the way, like just putting anyone into a property, and not lodging the...

    Crystal Ball

    While it's true, none of us have a crystal ball, there are times, based on experience, that you can make an educated guess of how things may/may not pan out in the future. I was looking through some old posts, and came upon this: This is from a thread in 2006 discussing Retiring Young...

    Lethbridge Park, 3 Bed Subdividable Corner Lot

    Ladies over 35, would this offend you?

    Someone that I know was recently called a MILF by a male. She didn't know what it meant, but when she found out, she was totally mortified. So much so, that she took the meaning literally and thought that she was being asked in a crude manner for something that she was certainly not prepared...
