We are in the process of settling on an investment property. I have backed myself into a bit of a corner in regards to insuring the property (which should have been done a week ago as it is!).

I am having trouble securing insurance as the property has a lot of cosmetic damage (kicked in walls etc), and 1 smashed window. The house is…[Read more]

Nothing to worry about unless it is damaged already. The only time you might need to remove it is to wire up a new switch board but this wont cost much to do.

Cheers,

Daniel.

I’m looking to purchase a investment property in Tas for 80k with around 190-210pw rent possible. I have aprox 38k cash but I am casually employed since the beginning of the financial year. This allows me to get a much higher hourly rate with a good 4 years of reliable work ahead of me.

If the cracks stay the same then the cause was most likely the trees. If the cracks get worse then its safe to say that the reactive clay is probably not helping. Fingers crossed its just the trees….

Based on the research I had done, I am not at all surprised at your answers.  I guess I was just hoping the banks might have changed the rules a bit as the markets had picked up. :)

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Cheers,

Daniel.

As a Hobart Resident, i thought it might be worth me putting my 2 cents worth into this discussion.  Pretty much all of the suburbs listed in this discussion so far fall under the "Dole Bludger" type of people and situations.  Gagebrook is by far the worst suburb in Hobart and Clarendon Vale isn't a lot better, if at all.  Rokeby would…[Read more]
