Can anyone recommend a good valuer in Canberra at a reasonable cost? Thanks shaggygirl

Well though I didn't get a gift when I moved in, I did get a freshly rennovated unit to live in (which felt like a gift). Also my lovely landlord (a forum member - you know who you are) sent me flowers when some tradespeople caused a big problem and another lot to thank me for my assistance...

thanks Simon and Geoff We are longtime fans of allhomes and they've been using them but I thought it wouldn't hurt to post the board and see if anything pops up. Geoff- I'll take you up on your offer. thanks shaggygirl

Hi All Wasn't quite sure where to post this but trust that if I'm in the wrong place, one of our lovely Moderators will move me to the right location. My brother and sister-in-law are looking for a property to rent in Canberra. They are currently on the Northside and are looking to move...

Acey So what's the First Commandment? shaggygirl

Brains/Mondie I agree with you both. (don't you love that?) Shaggygirl

Mondie: "l reckon its a pretty sad statistic." Why is that Mondie? It's only sad if said people were unhappy on their own. Plenty of people live very happily in their own space and have fulfilled lives. Living on your own shouldn't have the immediate expectation that people should feel...

Audits All Audits can also be triggered by whatever sector the Tax Office is targeting that year. Sometimes it's business expenses, I know one year it was IT Contractors. I think it's only a matter of time before property investors are seriously targetted. I guess it depends on their...

Lucas Well done for thinking ahead. It's an excellent idea to get started early. There are a number of things you can do. 1. Information Interviews - this is where you contact the relevant manager of a key organisation, make an appointment with them and go in to discuss the type of...

Gordon Does that make us brother and sister? shaggygirl

Kristine You can adopt me! Shaggygirl

I know what you all mean. My mother is an Interior Decorator and she has driven us mad for years - everywhere we go she's mentally redesigning it and telling us what she'd do. Now I seem to have caught this disease. Not just design and renovating but investing and building. I can't stop...

Nooooooo! Steve, you thought there would be one in Sydney around Novemberish. (Obviously you've changed your mind). Any thoughts on timing for the new year? Shaggygirl

And could we add Canberra to the list this time?

Well I was close :p and it's funny either way :D

There's a chicken shop in Tassie called "Breasts and Thighs". I kid you not.

Oooh! Damian. Glad you posted this, I was going to ask if anyone had seen it. I wonder what it is that Henry does (or thinks he does) that is different to any of the other courses or books out there? Does anyone know? Surely you can get the same info with a bit of research. Anyone...

I've been thinking a bit about Passive Income. We all have an interest in it and many of us are setting up our investments to ensure we have regular passive income. Obviously there's property, share dividends and royalties (books, music etc - don't I wish :D ). What else would you...

My parents just redid their laundry and have a stainless steel laundry sink they are selling for about $40. It's in good condition (it just doesn't match all the nice shiny new stuff). I thought one of our resident renovators might be interested. If you are, PM. shaggygirl

adaran01 - You need to decide if you want to pursue something you love or work for $$ to continue buying properties (lucky thing if that's what you love) to get you to a place where you can pursue what you love. Sounds to me like you could pursue something of more interest to you without...
