Thanks, this looks promising

I'm a single 5foot female and although I go to the gym there's no way I'd beable to get an oven on/off a ute!! Do they hire out the staff too?

I had searched on gumtree but using stove, oven brings up a few more results. I have no way of picking one up what do people do when they don't have towballs, trailers or friends that are handy with this stuff? Most of these are about 20-50km from where the property is located. Also how do I...

Use a buyers agent either one based in the area or an expert in the area. This doesn't mean your don't do you due diligence though.

I have a tenanted property which has plans in council atm to be demolished and townhouses built in its place. Unfortunately the old upright stove in it is broken and cannot be fixed. So I need to replace it. I don't want to put a new on in as it will only be used for another year or two. Does...

That's what I wanted to choose as well

I have several properties that are strata titled and obviously only need landlord insurance (as building insurance is covered in the strata levy). I have just bought a freestanding house. I have taken out landlord building insurance and landlord insurance with Terri Scheer. It appears that loss...

Does anyone use Investar? I just listened to a webinar for the hell of it and thought it might be worth a try. Or am I just getting suckered into something that I could just as easily do myself? (That last question needs to be answered by someone who has actually used it)

Yes I mentioned these variables as the ones everyone looks at (including me!) but it would be interesting to see if % properties rented is a variable to consider. One of the other variables I forgot to mention is that the average income for the area with the lowest median price and lowest...

Just wondering if anyone has converted ceiling space into living space. What are the considerations (besides where the stairs are going to go)? What is the cost compared to simply adding on an extra bedroom, bathroom and small living area?

I have been doing some research to decide where I should be focusing my efforts for buying my next investment property. Of course there are all the standard variables to compare eg. vacancy rate, stock on market (incl. DSR), changes to household income, increases to rent, days on market etc...

I think you're option is probably the only one. Then you could convert the outside wet area into a laundry. As a plumber you would know but isn't the cost of "moving" a wet area massive? You would also have to consider whether access to the back yard would be via the new bedroom or would you...

I agree with Brady but just to push the point 600-800k is actually much closer to the upper end in Adelaide. Most of my friends who have high paying jobs (eg. doctors, lawyers etc) live in houses worth around this and in VERY nice suburbs. Other friends in average paid jobs would live in houses...

Here's an example of a similar colour scheme that Westminster suggested. My personal opinion is that dark grey may be too much but a slightly lighter shade as in this photo will look fresh and modern but also make the house appear larger than a darker colour. The pergola and plantings may also...

$1500 per year

I bought a townhouse in Beenleigh just shy of a year ago and my property has just (in last few weeks) been valued at $90,000 more than I paid for it (which is a value increase of 60%). I have done a $13,000 cosmetic reno (new kitchem, bathroom, floorcoverings, a few new doors and repainted). But...

A house I'm looking at purchasing has dark green (almost black) high gloss bathroom tiles which make it very dark, it looks smaller and even though I think the tiles are relatively newly done makes the bathroom look dated. Would it be possible to either paint over them myself or get one of...

"The kitchen photo may be doing it no justice but from my eye that kitchen is not even close to needing to be replaced. I actually do not see much wrong with it but painting the cupboards, updating the handles and maybe spraying the benches will modernize that for the smallest of budgets."...

This looks great. I thought perhaps it was a Birch special. The colour scheme has "him" written all over. I really like how you've kept the floor tiles in the bathroom, they're a great colour and those little mosaics are still in fashion. You've inspired me to post the photos of a reno that I...

Thanks. It's in a tidy neighbour but not upmarket and probably considered a lower socioeconomic area. Most houses in the area were built in the 1970's and not many have been renovated. The ones on the market are in surprisingly good condition for their age but many could do with a cosmetic...
