We laid laminated flooring in our own home a few years ago and am not happy with it. We’ll probably replace it with boards in the future which will be our 4th floor replacement.

We replaced an old timber floor last year in a kitchen, with new boards. It was bad, holes, missing boards, etc under masonite and vinyl. We buy 2nd…[Read more]

We put a shower bath in a reno last year, 900×900 and it looked great and catered for people with kids too. Cost about $125.

The space we had was 2400 so the loo, a 600 vanity and the shower were in one line. As you look in the door the loo is in the left hand corner, then vanity and between the vanity and showerbath is a shower…[Read more]

That way you can find a tenant and start the rental money coming in.

So personal funds would be needed for outings, clothes, holidays, etc.

Have been looking at 1200 acres for $195,000 with house. Were told it would rent at about $150pw. We would agree that the tenant has use of the land, can run a few cattle, but also keep an eye on the place as sort of caretaker as there can be vandalism and cattle duffing. You would have to be sure there was water, either creeks or dams,…[Read more]

Just a few thoughts. As population increases in an area, sewerage is generally on the agenda, but takes years in planning. We’ve lived in rural areas for over 20 years, always on septic with never a problem. I think people just have to learn to take care with water usage and disposal of waste, as if they’re on septic or envirocycle…[Read more]

As of 2 days ago I have a new computer following a few months of problems, plus our unit reno is completed and went on the market (in NSW) a few days before the Carr disaster.

Like Pisces said we kept the loan account open by not paying out the loan completely therefore L/C money is available.

The property manager photocopies all the keys, house, garage, letterbox, security door, etc. and that is kept in the owner’s property file so they can be accounted for/checked when the tenant is moving out and returns the keys. They need keys for a routine inspection when it’s due…[Read more]

I also think that is a reasonable rate, but then you might want to negotiate with the one you choose. Be aware of what the managing agent will be doing for you, that is what you are paying them for.
