Kezz, so we shouldn’t steam clean carpet, or doing any painting etc until the IP is settled to be able to claim it in tax?

thanks so much, everyone. Lots of food for thought. I think if i increase the rent, the unit might be in the market for longer. and am not 100 percent sure if some people might be happy to live in a reasonable unit with older style carpet. i’ve actually thought of putting vinyl that is got timber – like pattern that is reasonably cheap and look good. i got one of those in my own kitchen. and probably just change the carpet in the living area. i will have to work out the price
Tracey B, why didn’t you renovated the unit before you sell it?

I am not sure how much it will cost to either change carpet or put floorboards but I don’t think the rent will go more than 190$ I reckon, in this area

Thanks for the feedback. the two bedroom unit is about 150K if they accept my offer. and it can attract probably 180 dollars a week, i reckon..or more if i change the floor. so, it’s about 6.24%. is this good enough?
