stems from an over inflated of self importance of our role in the world. we could completely stop all forms of energy use and make little difference to carbon emissions. we would be better sevred by trying to suppy innovatoive solutions to eh world rather than strangling ourselves. it could...

yes,tho i am in the minority around here. the ones that I have held I have regretted. tho houses i sold 8 years ago have nicely doubled or more, so who knows?! i find yeilds are generally too low to hold much where as developing can provide a huge income. when i no longer require so much...

yeh the land and build price is in at $350k+, they are villas tho not apartments. stuff renting... what's the repayments on that... around $750 a week after costs, rent would be... $300? no way, tax deduction on that one i think. had enough of that sector of the market. the government can...

suppose, I jsut know that some units I am building in midland are costing close to that to build... a green title house for the price that most villas sell for is pretty good

and these people are doing the limbo.. how low can they go?? http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=o&id=104599045&f=0&p=10&t=res&ty=&fmt=&header=&cc=&c=99927779&s=wa&snf=rbs&tm=1214815242

announcemnet on news last night that train line will be extended to yanchep. one day. also last night a display home was torched there, not sure which one yet, anoyone know?

yes well... if neighbouring owners would build on their lots there would be a lot less sand blowing around which has covered my verge mulching (HINT!) thank you for pointing out my weaknesses which I was blissfully unaware of till now :) Actually someone pointed out earlier the shoddy plaster...

this is interesting, any thoughts on the impact? http://www.thewest.com.au/default.aspx?MenuID=159&ContentID=53517 and http://www.thewest.com.au/default.aspx?MenuID=159&ContentID=53438

yeh i saw it at $620k, yet it is still advertised as that in the weekend paper as recently as yesterday so i dont get it. these places would have only cost $390k to put together, so leveraged investors are probably happy to walk away with $100k+ clear, even tho they are selling under...

the damage is concerning - I must get up there and see how mine fared. unfortunately this guy must have just wanted a quick churn http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=o&id=104479805&f=10&p=10&t=res&ty=&fmt=&header=&c=3463394&s=wa&snf=rbs&tm=1199629163 and it has pretty much...

55... is on board st. at thisd stage i probably will sell still - i dont need anymore rentals!

i assumed we were talking about a scratched laminex type of product? my vegetable oil story was applicable to that.

this is a bit of an old trick actually, a builder told me about it years ago. can't recall what they use - could be vegetable oil?

just an update here - the bank valued mine up at $600k. I think this is quite good and there is probably not much point in me selling it now, the cash pulled out by selling it will be about the same as the refi amount.

am doing a unit devy with DA - a bit disappointing. Their prices are way over the top (such that the job is barely profitable) and am not overly impressed with their administrative processes. Seems very slow and bureaucratic. Their new display centre in Ozzy Park is sensational tho!

You know i think celebs do it but they don;t like to. for me they wouldnt even do carpets, blinds, rear landscape - interesting that you managed to get this done sparky. Sorry havent sent you the pic - i think i need to run a bunch of software to make it happen

that's it. IMO not worth the effort, tho the quality of the tiles that I got and light fittings etc was much better

hmm... the slope is only a little more than my block and I didn't, but I think I was pushing it. Q's: How much did the retaining cost? who did your paving? what did you do out the back? I am not sure how you managed to pull this off remotely as I have had to spend days up there, not to...

Sparky i grapped a photo of your front landscaping today - is on my phone will see if I can figure how to get it off. you went for similar set up to me, however i didnt worry with the limestone rocks. looks good tho. keep us posted if the developers pay for the bobcat... may hit em up for it...

I copped the sand problem... the soakwell guy generated a heap of sand, which i then had to pay a guy $500 to barrow around the front, then had to pay a bobcat guy $600 to take away to truck loads of sand. also i agree the painting thing sucks... it has taken me over 3 months and umpteen...
