    Roofing costs - how much has steel gone up anyway?

    Hi RE, yes it does seem a lot. I guess some of the cost would be transporting those long sheets all the way to your joint. I estimate you have less than $5k worth of material so $13k is probably the sort of price you give when you have got plenty of work. Tom

    Which expanding foam for thermal insulation?

    You should be careful with this one George, if you put too much in you can distort the wall.It expands in all directions, it doesn't flow in the path of least resistance, like water. You might be better to consider something like that insulfluff stuff which is made from shredded and pulverised...

    strata/subdivision - problem?

    Celica, I think it does matter in so far that a property with it's own title is more popular and that can be reflected in the price. Depending on the number of dwellings on the title, they can be difficult to deal with. I know a lot of people in small blocks/numbers are able to keep things...

    Please compare these 2 - display home quality vs quality given to me

    Your right Glenn, but in my experience the drawings, specs, etc are never that precise, so unless you have a situation where they are, you end up having to accept something that is near enough but not exactly what you thought you were getting Tom

    Please compare these 2 - display home quality vs quality given to me

    I don't think you have got what you thought you were going to get, and this is a problem particularly when using large system builders. At the end of the day what you appear to have doesn't look too bad though, it may not be exactly what you thought you were contracting for, but IMHO I don't...

    Noob question about commercial investing! Help!

    Hi Andy, Yes it is basically like residential in that you can deduct interest and other costs from the income and pay tax on what's left if anything. The GST doesn't form part of the rent and is remitted to the ATO separately. Even if you use rental income to pay off the principal you...

    Hi, "Forget bleach, use vinegar" - I read this on another thread recently, and it works, can take a few applications but regular wiping down the shower has kept mould at bay! Hope this helps Tom

    PM not paying rent - Advice needed

    Hi, perhaps you could get advice from the Real Estate Institute or the equivalent body in Qld. Messy divorce or not your money should surely be in the agents' trust a/c. In the mean time I would be making new arrangements for the payment of your rent - they are in breach of your agreement...

    Hi All, Well I don't really know where to start with this tale of confusion, but it began about last October when we sold an IP lets call it property A which was cross collateralised with Property B. At settlement the banks solicitor turned up with the paperwork for Prop B, so settlement was...

    Am I being taken for a ride here...

    Reminds me of an old couple I knew once, she apparently told him she had shares in a timber company and was 18, turns out she didn't have the shares and she was only 16, by the time all was revealed he had already proposed to her and when at some time later money was a bit tight he suggested...
