Hi Steven,Welcome Is this property just student accommodation – or can anyone live there? 35 sqm sounds small for many lenders to lend on much less at 90%. Why has it been on the market for several months? What happens if you need to sell it? How long will it take to sell.Have a quick search on here for student accommodation and you will quickly…[Read more]

LOl@ ScottGreat thread. If I were a Billionaire (I'm not going to aim for small thank you) I'd give away some 'stuff' cars, houses money, buy both sets of parents houses and lives so they can hang out with the grand kids. I'd also buy a couple hundred acres just for me and a lambo for my other half. Very greedy huh! Personally I'm aiming for $50…[Read more]

I'd contact the tenant, explaining that you will be there to collect the keys today at 7pm (for example) explain to her that there will be workmen turning up at 6am Wed and you with them to begin routine maintenance (less info for the tenant is better) don't engage with the tenant, argue or get involved in anyway. Remain calm, take a deep breath…[Read more]

Cindy,Go by what is in writing. If she is really not ready then so be it, you can always come back again….. I'd go and do the inspection as per the written and then if it looks like the property is empty but for the steam clean then come back the next day. Take someone else with you as a witness. One previous property we rented we did the steam…[Read more]

Hi RZ,Why these two?We rented a house from Marshall White Armadale……..as a tenant they were fine, they came and did a cursory inspection. We were renting a development site, which they had no idea about until we have a visit from the council planner a couple months into our 12 mth tenancy. I haven't worked with Jellis Craig. I would look to…[Read more]

Hi everyone, I have sold these tickets. Thank you for the inquiries D

Hey while we are requesting things that may not happen……can we get a like button too! haha. Jamie I like your post. Just not the same……D

I'd like something condensed, just the forum…… Yeah you can access the page but to have it as a smaller version would be great. The realestate.com app is good, very basic something nice and basic would be good D

Hi Michael (and all)Having recently sold our last unit in Melbourne in just 3 weeks and for the price we wanted, I think Melbourne is a mixed bag.I can only speak for suburbs that I am watching currently – Box Hill south, Burwood, Camberwell, Surrey Hills, Wantirna, Wantirna South, Bayswater, Boronia, Mooroolbark, Lilydale, Woori Yallock, Croydon…[Read more]

Target had a massive sale on big canvases in a few different colours. They were $50 each. I bought about 6 of them and they are great. I've bought so much stuff there they should give me staff discount There is also Art.com which do all sorts of art and will send it out, might be worth a look.D

I hear you on the moving around, I'm 30 and have lived in 20 or so houses, in 3 different states. I figure I'm on tour.I am no longer surprised at what people don't see even if it is in plain sight. Some people are really funny about areas. Years ago when a friend was looking to buy I suggested suburb x, next to the more expensive suburb she was…[Read more]
