Found the house after 6 months of searching was able to arrange settlement on the last week of school just in time for school holidays.
Had also access to house 1 week before settlement for measuring but this time was more of a pain as the owner was over who keen to give me his ideas on what I should do to the house and did not leave me alone to get on with it.
The plan :
Remove carpets
Paint interior
re-tile both bathrooms
Remove and install new Kitchen
Install downlight entire house
New door handles
paint pergola
Oven gas top
remove shade cloth and install polycarbonate
install Venetians blinds
install garage door.
SHOPPING
Great deal on mis-tint paint Cheers to the young chap who stuffed up 100l of grey got it for $22 per 10l ended up buying 80L
Door handles ebay $22 each
Gas top and electric oven ebay $700 including del from Melbourne to Perth
Flooring $38 sqm rubber strips/wood look hardwearing.
Blinds best price Custom blinds $400 cheaper than anybody else.
Airless spray $140 2days hire
Changes to Plan after property manager told me the expected rent was $50 less than I expected :
NO new Kitchen got the top painted ThermoGlaze
No garage door or polycarbonate to pergola
No time for re-tile to bathrooms
Hope to do some of the above for increases in rent and value adding for refinance.
TOTAL $10,000 spent on Reno
Tenants in house 13days after completion $400 week
