Hi everyone! Well, we are well and truely moved into our first property and loving the feeling of 'this is ours'. There are heaps of things we want to renovate and have just got our first quote. We want two internal brick walls (both measure 2.4 by 3m) gyprocked, and a hole cut into another...

can anyone recommend a good cleaner in Adelaide? We want to have our house cleaned before we move in. Thanks!

I have just made an offer on a property...first one ever! If my offer is not the highest, is it fair to assume the real estate agent will come back to me to let me know my offer is not the highest and give me the opportunity to better my offer? I don't want to miss out on the property but...

I'm after a rough estimate on how much it costs to knock down a wall. I have included a link to the property we are looking at - the wall is the one between the lounge and dining. We want the place to be a bit more open plan. We knocked on it at the inspection today and it felt like gyprock...

Finally found a property (see link below) and want to make an offer. This is our first purchase so we're shakin in our boots! Let us know what you think of the property and the area. We think there will be quite a bit of competition as the open inspection was full today and it has just come...

Anyone know of a good stylist in Sydney? I have just about given up buying clothes myself - I've got no idea how to put outfits together and I'm sick of loking like a dag! Anyone had experience with a stylist? Is it worth the money??

I'm thinking about doing this course via correspondance. I was just wondering if anyone has done it (TAFE) and what they thought of the course. I'm also wondering how valuable it will be when trying to get into the industry. I have lots of general sales experience but I want to get a...

Hey guys, My baby girl is nearly four now, and after having a little time off work and going through a string of meaningless part time jobs in the last 18 months I am ready to concentrate on career again. I have a varied work back ground, including a 10 year career in the Navy, but I feel...

hello, another question! I promise when I have a few properties under my belt I will help others where I can :) We've located a unit that is in a huge block of 80 units. Anything to watch out for with such a large block? Also, how do we get our hands on strata info, sinking fund,fees...

Hi guys. I have read on here that investors like to steer clear of maisonnettes unless they can buy the pair. What is so bad with buying just one? I know there is a shared wall to condend with but this would be no different than any unit purchase, and there are no strata fees. I'd love to...

Hello, I have found an old 2 bed fibro and would love some advice on how I could spruse it up to increase the rental yield? http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-sa-port+augusta+west-104933905?tm=1268950811&c=78577480&t=res I know there will be issues with asbestos etc. I'm not...

Hey guys, just after some general advice. I have found a 2 bed fibro cottage in poor but rentable condition in an excellent location. I am interested in the land, not the property and will eventually bulldoz and develop when I can afford to. My question is, where do I find info on the...

Hey guys...just after some advice. My parents own their own PPOR and are paying off an IP. Their IP is a serviced studio appartment in the waldorf complex at Rosehill in Sydney. They purchased it for around 200-220K some years ago and the same appartments in the same complex are selling for...

We've located a pair of Maisonettes in Port Augusta on appr 1000m2 land. We inspect the inside tomorrow but driving past them, they seem OK. They are however located opposite the corner of a school oval. So not right in front of the school where it is noisy, but at the other end across from...

OK, so our finance will be sorted one way or another. Now we have a choice of buying in Adelaide and renting it out or, buying a PPOR in Port Augusta. At the moment our rent in Port Augusta in highly subsidised due to hubby's employment. If we were to buy here we have to live in it - you...

OK, so I've run into a dead end with finance. Rams are the only lenders who will come to the party BUT they do not offer 100% offset. Would you go with Rams now and put up with the headaches later (when you turn your PPOR into an IP) or would you wait another couple of years to get yourself in...

Hi... we on our way to our first purchase and know that we have to be quick off the mark, so we want to be prepared when we see a property that we want! Does anyone know of good/reliable building and pest inspector, and a solicitor in Adelaide that they could refer us to? We're looking at...

Hey guys, just wondering if some of the renovators on here could give us some rough ball park estimates of how much things cost for basic renos. We're going to buy our first property soon and are looking for places that need a little work - maybe flat pack kitchen with new appliances, re-tile...

OK... so we are in the process of looking for a lender and beleive that Rams suit us due to 95% loans - as far as we know, no other lender will lend that much. Now to the point of which product? Rams has over 15 loan products! This property will be out PPOR for a few years until we can move...

Hey guys... is there such thing as creating and having a website hosted for free? One that includes some kind of discussion board whereby a number of people could add to the discussion?
