Well, our family finally finished our first development. We bought a corner block in Budgewoi, put plans through Council for a detached dual occupancy on torrens title, renovated the existing house and built a brand new 4 bedroom house with double garage that is now for sale. If you know...

I work for a large builder and we just received a flyer today that Tradelink Crossroads (Casula) are having a huge sale up to 80% off. Yes, I know, it sounds too good to be true and that’s what my husband and I thought 2 years ago when we received the same flyer. We attended anyway just in...

I saw the recent post discussing Anita Bell's ideas of saving money. I read the book years ago and thought the majority of the ideas were too far fetched for me. I still like a comfortable lifestyle to a certain extent. But at the same time, I like to save money on everyday items. When I...

I've been living in my PPOR for nearly 12 years now. I'm about to convert it to an IP (moving in with boyfriend). Although I have no plans on selling it in the future, I may develop the block if Council changes their subdivision rules in years to come. Should I have it valued by a...

9.30pm tonight (Saturday) on channel 9 is what you need :)

Just wondering if anyone has a way that I can get creases out of a newly purchased shower curtain. You know how they fold them and leave lovely creases all over them. I've tried putting a tea towel over it and ironing it at a low heat but it tends to leave a ripple effect on the plastic...

I'm not sure if this has already been discussed or if Karina is being a bit shy :) but Karina has a small feature on page 96. Hope you don't mind me spreading the word :D

Hi all, I noticed Kate's thread (well done Kate) on Christmas Cake the other day and thought I might post this email up that I've sent out to friends. If you're interested in helping, that would be great. _______________________________________________________________ I'm involved in a group...

Brenda Was that a new interview on ACA I just saw? I was playing on the pc, just listening to the tv and then I heard the quote, "some women buy shoes, I buy houses" and I thought to myself, I recognise that quote - heheh. And are you speaking at the course they mentioned?

At the last SIG I was asked if I could put together a list of what to look for in a development site. I initially meant for the checklist to be about 10 points, but it has now grown to 60 points and still going strong. As it will take me ages to type it all out (and am working on some of my own...

Just received my copy last night. Dazzling, is that profile on you or am I mistaken. Lots of things in the story seem similar to what you've posted here. If so, congratulations - great read!!!

We (my family) exchanged on a property at the beginning of June and have a settlement date on 27/7/06. The owner (about early 40’s) was there on our initial visit but nothing looked out of the ordinary. My mum was having a chat to him but didn’t notice anything unusual. After the cooling off...

I've been in the property market for over 10 years now. My first house - PPOR - has a flat out the back which I have always rented out. Then I purchased my first IP 6 years ago, budgeted my money carefully so I could afford my 'little luxuries' and have researched, read books, gone to seminars...

Hi all Have done some searching through the forums but still haven't come across the final information to answer my question. I am about to make an offer on a property in NSW that I expect to be accepted. I have just lodged papers to my accountant to have a trust set up but the final...

I've done a couple of searches using key words, but can't seem to find an answer to my question. Hoping someone can help. If I buy a PPOR, renovate it and sell it at a profit prior to 12 months, do I have to pay any taxes? My mother and I are playing around with a little scenario which...

Well, the reason I've decided to type this here is that I'm feeling very proud of what I'm achieving by myself, but have no family or friends in the area that can come and admire what I am doing. Therefore I'm going to share it in detail with the forum in the hope someone else can benefit from...
