If you can get the returns, go for it. Ipswich is set to become and extension of Brisbane like Penrith and outer areas of Sydney.

Yes, I’m thinking of taking photos as evidence and getting something done. No, I didn’t see the story and that is horrific.

I would be satisfied with 5 weeks and yes, I will be replacing the property manager. Not impressed with the overall effort. Even for the assessor to take a month to get there was pretty rank.
