I always do 1 coat all over and then do a second coat. I think the best is to use 2 people, one cutting in, and the other with the roller. The aim is to have the paint still wet at the joining edge when the second person arrives so that the 2 parts can gel together. p.s. I am not a...

To add to what Twitch has said. Keiran Trass is a New Zealander and the book is mostly based on his research in New Zealand, but I think the theory applies in Australia as well. However he talks about a 7 or 8 year cycle for New Zealand and about 13 or 14 years for Australia, US and UK...

I dont know the Sunbury are at all (being from NZ) but I thought I would comment on your last comment. There is a risk if you choose to put it off that you will never actually take action. I know of many people who have promised themselves they will do something but they always find something...

This is an interesting question. Certainly make me think for a while. I would probably do quite a bit of what I am currently doing because I quite enjoy it. However overseas holidays and seeing places as Lizzie has mentioned also sounds very appealing. Initially I thought I would sell...

I suspect the reason the PM companies are reluctant to hand over their documents is more because they are lazy/busy than anything else. It takes time for them to photocopy and package and post the information. If there is no more revenue to come from you as a customer, where is the motivation...

In terms of researching an area, I have found that spending a few weeks going to Open for Inspections' is a good way to find out what is available in different price ranges in different areas. After doing this for a while when a really good one comes along you will be able to spot it.

Hi Macca64 When an 'expert' gives you advice, it sometimes pays to look at the motives of that person. The person who said new houses are best - was he in the business of selling new houses? A lot of what you were told is true. New houses do have higher depreciation, potentially better...

I will reply to this question with caution. The last time I did this I was accused of spam. But the question has been asked. I will keep it brief. Try www.rentmaster.co.nz. Covers property management with a hint of PIA.

Thanks for that skye_30 - I feel enlightened. Maybe you should check what I mentioned in a previous post. It was legel in NZ up until recently, and might still be legel in Australia. The idea is to set up a company (or maybe a trust), sell your house to the company, and 'persuade' the...

By the way, this might sound like a silly question, but I am a kiwi so please type slowly and only use small words. What is PPOR?

From a kiwi perspective, this used to be quite common. People would set up a company, purchase a house into the company, and then have the company rent the house back to the owner. In this way the company could still claim all the expenses because the house was still a rental property. About...

My apologies to anyone who considered my last post to be spam. That was not my intention. Someone asked the question 'can you recommend any software' - so I recommended some software. I can see your point though. RentMaster is not my day job - it is my hobby. I first developed the...

If you are a property investor, and want software to keep track of income and expenses etc then why not use a specialist property investment tool. RentMaster keeps track of your income and expenses, lets you know what your current profitibility is, keeps track of rent arrears, tenant history...
