Can anyone recommend a decent Real Estate agent in Darwin. Sick the problems with Darwin property managers so I am selling but the sales agents aren't inspiring confidence either. Thanks

Check out the main ensuite in the latest Boystown lottery http://www.boystown.com.au/lot/lifestyle/426/gold-coast-step-inside.php Love the view.

I can recommend Capri Realty for your Southport property. I have 2 properties with them in the area.

After living through a disaster I know that Red Cross and the Salvos are on site long before everyone else. I donate to their general funds and not the appeal funds because I trust them to spend the money where it is really needed. Brisbane is in all the news today but this flood has been...

A close family member owns properties there so I watch the market a little. It looks like prices for good properties are holding their own but others are dropping. I don’t see why there would be decent increases again for a few years but then Woolworths opened a very large store there 2...

How about a Hyundai Terracan? A real 4WD, big enough to tow a caravan but not too big for city driving. There is a particularly cheap one on Carpoint - http://www.carpoint.com.au/ - 2005 model 82,000ks for only $14,000.

I am not much younger myself and if I was in that situation I would go with the order you listed them in - 1,2,3. If she stays in her own house she could pay off her mortgage giving her an extra $70 per week without upsetting the pension. She may not earn much more if invested anyway. If...

Actually a cyclone would really send prices sky high. We had paid around $2000 for a block before Tracy came along. A few months after Tracy we sold it for $8000 but if we had waited a little longer we could have probably got up to $20,000 for it. We were back in Darwin recently and the...

As an older female, in the past I have been extremely frustrated by attitudes, particularly in banks, but these days I don’t see it too often. Real estate agents normally read the situation quickly and talk money to me and show hubby the shed. Accountants and bank staff are normally ok but...

My hubby drove buses for a few years until recently retiring. It is much better than taxis but it is getting more difficult. I doubt your friend would be getting $55,000 per year unless he was doing evening shifts and not surprisingly most violence happens in the evening. Hubby made the...

We put a small dose on the dogs neck, similar to the flea treatments, then we repeated in about 3 months to pick up any recently hatched. She was a little off colour for a day but it was a serious case of ticks. She really hated the ticks on her and if she could talk she would have chosen the...

Years ago we moved into a house in Darwin and the ticks were so bad they were climbing the bedroom walls. I would come home from work and the first thing I did was sit down with the dog and remove many more than 30 ticks every day. We sprayed the garden and tried all the recommeded...

This one did a very small job for us a while ago and didn't charge a cent. Offered good advice rather than create work for himself. CCT Electricals Chris Gentles 0415873197

I really wondering what others are aiming for. I have learnt the hard way not to sell properties without good reason but that doesn't mean I shouldn't ask myself the question at times. I may not get my 10%+ but I can aim for it. I might enter 7% in my spreadsheet for conservative planning...

I bought my first IP 14 years ago when I knew very little about investing but I realised that I needed cash flow or we would struggle to pay for it on our low income. Looking back I am averaging around 8% capital growth which I don't think is too bad considering my complete ignorance at the...

Thats difficult to work out because different properties and different economic conditions will result in different lengths of tenancy. Our first property bought in '94 went through a period of short term and difficult tenants but times have changed and I am increasingly picky about the PMs...
