Just over 3 years ago I was paying on average 9.5% on nearly a million dollars of debt. Today I am bickering with my mortgage broker over 0.1%. #firstworldproblems I need a good dose of reality. :o

I would like construct two townhouses next year. Final cost including, survey strata, servicing and mods to a retained dwelling should not exceed $650,000. I can't cover the full cost of the construction with available funds. So I have two options: Option 1 Commence construction, get the...

The dark side of sleeping pills "...started taking Ambien in 1998. Her first episode of sleep eating happened just weeks later. She would half wake and walk into the kitchen to consume large amounts of cooked and uncooked foods. She ate raw eggs, uncooked rice and entire loaves of bread...

I'm thinking about what to build on my Heidelberg Heights property. There is plenty of lower end product on the market and the selling price reflects this. Example: Sold for $465,000 http://www.realestate.com.au/property-townhouse-vic-heidelberg+heights-115735791 I was hoping for a...

From another thread, a couple of comments about paying an agent to find a tenant and then taking over from there: I think a lot of agents see property managing this way: find the tenant and sit back while the money rolls in. They don't realise they have to do regular inspections, chase up...

Do you have any recommendations for someone to draft me a Partition Agreement (Deed of Partition?) for residential land in Victoria? Could a Partition Agreement be prepared by a conveyancer or would I need a Solicitor that specialises in Property Law? I have never had a Partition Agreement...

I was going to buy my next PPoR/IP in Perth, but since prices have spiralled out of control, I have had to re-evaluate my options. I am now investigating developing one of my sites in Heidelburg Heights in Melbourne, perhaps to build two townhouses something like this...

I have a potential development site in Heidelberg Heights with an old dump I picked up years ago. I occasionally take a peek to see how the area is going.

Just found out my neighbours have been mooching off my wi-fi for 2 months, using up my bandwidth. Now I would not have much sympathy for such a story because I know too many people run unsecured networks. However, I have my encryption set up which means my modem was properly hacked, not just...
