This site was on the news last night. Anyone catch the tv show?

Hi Peter 14.7, The by-pass is scheduled to cut 9 - 17 minutes off peak time traffic, and 5 - 11 minutes off other times. I think the council printed those times in the local paper a few weeks ago. Not sure where you got 20 - 40, because the trip is only 35 - 42 minutes during non-peak hour...

Hi letiha, Are you familiar with Jan Somer's yield/growth charts? It is believed that higher growth = lower yield and vice versa. Have you had a chance to research the sales market for that area? Rich.

Thanks Manny!! :D

*BUMP* Hrmm... does this mean that no one knows of any good builders?

Hi all, My apologies if this is a duplicate thread - I was not able to find any info through the search engine. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any builders in Melbourne, preferably the Western suburbs who are very competitive in price. I'm interested in building up to 3 units...

*Sigh...* Please don't start preaching Marc, I've heard and read those words many many times. In those terms - your right, I CAN do it, but I don't want to as it means that I would have to re-arrange many things in my life. As your not familiar with my current situation, it's not right to...

Hi Marc, Is that $13,000 the net or gross figure per week that's coming out of your pocket? What I mean is - are you receiving any rental income that makes up the $13,000 and is the $13,000 the mortgage repayments, or what you have to pay as the difference to cover the mortgage repayments...

Thanks Tom, Great idea to buy ahead of time. I guess I could even buy things to cover the next 12 months or so. Material prices don't usually drop that much in 12 months. Rick

Thanks Marc, but the cost of the house and land is priced accordingly due to the developement potential. It's not financially feasable to rent it out as is and have to pay $220 p/w out of my own pocket to maintain the I.O. mortgage (the $220 is After I receive $180 in rental income) If I build...

Just spoke to the council, and they said I'm looking at around $4,000 for the subdivision (but more if I need a crossover for the drive way entrance) They also said that subdivision can be done before building, so I can sell off the land before building, but the new owner must build a house...

Um... okay....

Hey Twitch, I've never heard of that before...

Hi all, I wanted to throw a situation at you all and see what suggestions you may have: I'm in the process of purchasing an IP in a suburb about 30km west of Melbourne that has the council approval/town planning to build a second dwelling in the back. The home is on a corner and there is...

Thanks for the advise. The shed is the size of a double garage I'd say about 3½ sq. That's large to me =) Spot on about the loose concrete. It was poured poorly, and it looks like someone's laid thousands of rice bubbles all over the place. I'm thinking about subdiving and selling off...

Where to buy renovation items... Hi all, Can anyone share any good wholesale or cheap retail purchase points for things such as carpets/rugs, doors, kitchens (even kit-kitchens), tiles, paint etc... The usual reno stuff. I'll be starting renovations pretty soon, and would love to get some...

Hi Tobe, Not sure what quotes your referring to, but I have family who built some small (16sq) 3-bed homes not too long ago, and each came up at $109,000 Obviously they were basic, but it's possible to get quotes as low as $95,000 for 2 bed units/townhouses. Rich

Wouldn't you traumatise the fish each time the water hits the basin?

Hi all, I'm interested to buy a house that has the town planning permits approved for a second dwelling to be built and the land is almost 900m2 There's currently a large shed sitting on top of a 15cm-thick loose concrete slab, where the new house has been proposed. I'm wondering if...

Agents in Werribee Hi all, Does anyone know any good estate agents in Werribee / Hoppers that they can recommend? I've been looking for houses around there for the past few months, but I'm limited to the deals that are usually advertised on the net. If anyone knows a good insider, I'd be...
