Catalyst is right they knocked me back on two of my properties as they were not worth doing.

They did mention however if I was to renovate it was worth doing a dep schedule before and after as they can write down the scrapping of items and then…[Read more]

You can either pay a lump sum of $3,995, or if it’s more convenient, lesser amounts over time via an installment plan (details of which are available on request).
