Probably more an extra $60 although total cost was a bit more. The kitchen and bathroom have been updated, but probably not the best job, but still it has freshened the place up and the house just needed a tidy up.

Yep, Im interested to see what it might be valued at as well. I've quite enjoyed what I have done to the place, and am glad I didnt buy another house in the same area which was already done, but had no real potential for further improvements like this one. I like to keep my IP's in...

Thanks, although I have no idea what your talking about? All that plumbers talk confuses me :D Im assuming your talking about the drainage for the laundry?

I didnt do the major stuff myself. I got a handyman and other tradies in. If I did the work myself, it would have taken a long time to do, just due to time and work constraints. In the end, I ended up spending a bit more than I wanted to, although its given me a good rental increase and...

It is a sink mixer and the flow is restricted. I noticed this when I was using it the other day. I'll leave it as is until I get complains. Is the restrictor under the aerator of the mixer tap?

Bedroom pics. New verticals were put in all windows and the whole house was given a repaint in the one same colour Lounge room photo's. The second picture shows where I blocked it off which used to lead into the dining room to create the 4th bedroom. Here is the old dining room / new 4th...

House is finally ready to rent out. Just got pest control person and carpet cleaners coming tomorrow morning and then I believe the tenants want the keys on Tues. I still have the kitchen verticals on order so I'll have to go back to put them up. The rent I was able to achieve was around the...

Thanks for the valuable information skater, I'll be sure to update you all when I get a tenant in. I would be a very happy vegemite if I got close to the higher end of $300pw. It would mean I can start looking for IP3 sooner :). Also, you, along with other "western sydney advocates" have...

Theres plenty of living space still which is the reason why I closed off the dining room. There is a fully enclosed sunroom which can be used as a family room. The lounge as it is now still has a space for aq dining table, although not a massive one. I'll get some photo's of the completed...

The 4th bedroom Ive created is a small room so it wont command as high a proper 4 bedroom. I was only thinking worse case, so anything above the $360 amount I'd be happy as anything.

It is only minor reno's Im doing, although I guess I dont want to over capitalise as well. There are probably some touches Im doing to it that are more a nice have rather than a need. Not all the money is for the handyman, although getting tradies in and not doing some of the work does make...

Hoping around $360pw although I'll need to see what the market is like when its all ready.

3 bedrooms and kitchen need new verticals and tracks. The study, lounge and sunroom area need some of the slats replaced. Yep the curtains are now my drop sheets although blue carpet is pretty bad.

You mean this? Thats a work in progress picture.

The IXL needed replacement as the old one didnt have the exhaust and I wanted to put an exhaust fan. Insulation was $200 to remove old stuff and I didnt want the blow in stuff with the downlights I had installed. No value add there, but would minimise risk of potential fire. House was $333k...

Here are some pictures

Well not really. But withdrawing money from the ATM today again to pay for some electrical work, I was pondering, am I spending too much money on my IP? The house was originally a 3 bedroom house in western Sydney (St Clair). The handyman Im using keeps telling me that Im spending too much on...
