Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions regarding my rights as a renter of a commercial property. I have recently rented a shop, which is joined to one other shop - otherwise it is freestanding. It is currently all painted the same colour (the two shops), with our own signage painted on...

Hi everyone! I am in need of a cheap 2nd work computer (for the new shop). Basically it will just run a POS program (controlling cash draw), internet, inventory database and that's about it. I am thinking of buying one of these reconditioned computers from ebay - but really I have no idea...

Hi everyone, Sorry if this is the wrong forum - please move it if it is! I am interested in becoming a mortgage broker, not to work for myself - but more like working in a large well known brand like Mortgage Choice. What are the steps to becoming a broker? I'd really appreciate any...

Hi again, I am going to make my move to Perth soon (from Brisbane). I am going to have to rent, and rent out my unit here. I am hoping for some advice on how to secure a rental property. My situation is a little tricky :rolleyes: Ok firstly, I would like to secure a property BEFORE moving...

Hi again everyone! Well after much uming and ahing, I have finally decided that I will use the red mosaic tiles in my kitchen for the splashback. Some of you may remember my problems with deciding what to do... which type of bench top etc etc. Well I bought the tiles months ago, I have them...

Hi again everyone! I am thinking of moving from lovely Brisbane to lovely Perth in a few months time. I am hoping for some advice regarding moving costs. Firstly, I run a small business from home and will need to take my stock over there. There will probably be about 25 -30 standard...

Hello again everyone! It's been quite a while since I've talked about my kitchen reno, and that's mostly because I haven't done anything with it yet! I've done other parts of the unit, but I am really stuck on the kitchen. So Rodney's thread gave me the idea to ask what you, experienced...

Hi again everyone! I went ahead and splurged a little on glass mosaic tiles for my kitchen in my new unit. It may be a bit much for an IP - but it's my first IP so I got a little excited when the shop had a closing down sale (Jasa Imports for anyone interested, as recommended on this forum)...

Hello again everyone! This may not be the right place to post this, sorry :o I am looking at buying some timber venetian blinds off ebay, two large ones (approx 2m long). Only problem is they are in Melbourne. What's the best way to get them to Brisbane? Any recommendations as far as...

Hello again everyone, I am looking into the window coverings for my unit, and want to go with timber venetians. I have received two quotes (for 5 large windows) for Timbalook - ~$600 and basswood ~$900 Clearly Timbalook are much cheaper (I think perhaps they are like the ecoblinds at super...

Hi again everyone! Work is just about to begin on my kitchen, and I am wondering if anyone here has any tips for removing the tile splashback? What's the quickest, easiest way to go about it? Any special tools? I don't mind if I damage the tiles in the process, I just don't want to damage...

Hi again everyone, I am going to start on my bathroom reno soon, and thought I'd pop some pictures on here to get some opinions. First pic is the bathroom as is - pretty good aside from the unattractive brown floor tiles and peachy/pink wall tiles in the shower (White Knight here I...

Hi again! I haven't had time to do much on my unit, apart from plan exactly what I am going to do ;). I finally got around to looking into laminate costs (for the kitchen benches). However unexpectantly I discovered it is not as easy to find as I thought it would be. I have found a couple...

I am thinking of ripping up the ugly carpet in my newly purchased unit and putting down something that looks like wood. I was hoping for some recommendations - which is the best way to go as far as cost, looks and durability? What are the options available? I would like to go for something on...

hi everyone, I am thinking of putting a dishwasher into my kitchen. There isn't one there already, so it would all need to be plumbed in. I was hoping someone could give me an idea of this cost of this? Thanks! Michelle.

I'm thinking of buying a new unit off the plan. I don't know much about depreciation, so I was hoping someone could give me a brief explantion :) From what I've read, the property depreciates at 2.5%pa... so is that 2.5% of the purchase price or building cost? Thanks! Michelle.

Hello! I am wondering if any one else has come across this problem before, as even my broker said it was pretty uncommon. I have been approved for finance, and my property has been valued at the purchase price. However, apparently there is some doubt over the 'checklist' that the valuer does...

Hello everyone! I am new the the forums, and pretty much new to investing in property. I have just bought my first IP, near the beach in Redcliffe, north of Brisbane. It's a nice little unit over looking the water. However it has a very unattractive kitchen, which really needs some updating...
