Did you buy this in the end?  It seems to have sold in early DEC 08 :)  So was just curious how you went with it?

Hello Daniel, I did buy this property in the end. Am quite happy I did go ahead with this. The recommendations from this thread's posts by various people were fantastic.

The external is definitely blue board.

Is this true? I know this can be the case for a normal single brick veneer type dwelling, but not too sure about the blue board…[Read more]

Unfortunately the render is cement based as I am told by the agent. Why would someone chose to build an entire house using blueboard type material?

I have not seen or heard of blue board material before and want to know if this type of material can be used to build a complete 2 story home? How reliable will this material be…[Read more]

Most of the agents have a sales side and a property management side. Would it be a good thing to have the property managers from the same company mange the investment property?
