Awesome looking homes you have there mate and well done.
Could I ask about the tiles you've got in the kitchen? are they porcelain and what size?
Hi Stumpie, the tiles are 400*400 ceramic.
Brendon,
what unexpected expenses cropped up?
were they within your contingency?
EDIT: and how is the tenant search going??
Unexpected costs include
-change in design, big but value adding so good
-clay soil so more expensive concrete slab
-sewage and water connection (kind of expected)
-driveway pit pump
-doubling of open space levy
-extra holding costs and lost rent from a string of delays. Not builders fault, mainly due to bureaucratic stuff, weather and other uncontrolable factors.
Contingency was $15k which was wiped out with the first extra expense
Tenant search consist of these listings which are not inspiring due to lack of out door photos. The pics will be updated after landscaping is finished.
