    is Mend-a-bath still in business?

    Hi all. Does anyone know if Mend-a-bath is still in business? They did a bathtub for us 9.5 years ago and it needs a fixup under the original 10 yr warranty we had. None of the phone numbers on their website seem to be working. Jireh

    Selling to the tenants

    Thanks Jacque I just had a chat to the mortgage broker who they're dealing with and sorta found out the limit of what they could borrow. (Yes, I know it's a bit on the edge of ethics, but I suppose we're all working towards finding a common goal) The offer would be borderline on what I'd...

    Selling to the tenants

    Has anyone sold a property, but first offered it to the long term tenants? I haven't signed a sales agent yet. Are there any gotchas I should think about? For us, the tenants have been there 6 years and the father grew up on the street. The son is interested in buying the property and would...

    Where can I buy good quality Business Suits in Sydney?

    P&S Michael Yeah. I've bought a few suits, shirts and ties from P&S Michael. They have a slightly different buying criteria and their Italian wear selection is good quality, and classic without being pricey. I go to the Lakemba store and deal with Dean. He may seem like a gravelly-voice...

    Matusik Report - "don't expect rent rises this year"

    Oh no! How am I going to explain why I need to roll back a 13% rent increase!?!? Mind you, my IP is in a low vacancy area and we bumped it after evicting the previous tenant. At the new rent, we had 30 phone calls, 10 people show up for the Sat inspection and by Tues, 6 applications to choose...

    Us Oficially In Recession.

    Isn't it that old saying, "You make your profit when you buy". There's lots of cheap assets out there waiting to get snapped up. There's alot of money that has left the stock market and is going to be looking for a home. There's going to be a wave of demand heading towards property. Housing...

    Tenant wants compensation

    I need a new agent. This one just isn't trying anymore to "manage" the situation. Well, they haven't specified an amount they want. Apparently it was quite big. The agent claims they sent the bill through to us. They're just asked for an offset. I'm tempted to photocopy a 2 dollar coin and...
