The meeting went really well. Sasha was a great hit, so much so we cancelled the other presentations planned and just let her keep the floor as the audience was having such a good time getting lots of great information.

Curently we advertise on a couple of forums and through our WAIP group fanpage on Facebook.

I believe that there are now some property investing courses run by Tafe, but not available in every State, so it would be worth while investigating that line a bit further.

There is also Steve McKnight RESULTS programme which runs for 12 months, teaches you a heap about realestate and mind set and has no associated hype or sales.

It…[Read more]

Welcome to Perth.

We will send out a reminder closer to the time.

We look forward to meeting you in March.

The group is quite informal and the focus is on sharing and…[Read more]

Of course that wasn’t the answer I was hoping to hear! However I do understand what you are saying. We did previously successfully get a commercial deal as you say under a blanket loan and somewhat naievely thought we would be able to do the same for residentials. Pity! Yes, I can understand why a MB wouldn’t be too keen to do a…[Read more]

Sorry, I don’t know the answer to cost or feasibility of levelling the site.
My only comment would be concerning what your intention is with the property. if you are simply keeping it to rent out then it would depend on what demographic you are looking at as tenants. If you were to develope the property and rebuild, slopes tend to…[Read more]

That is a great tip to remember about jobs paid for in cash. 30% less not a bad deal!

Love those diamond blades

That was over 3 months ago and that hasn’t happened yet! [blush2]

So, while I agree it is a really good idea to put a plan in place, I think it is also critical to review it at least annually, otherwise it…[Read more]

Would be interested to hear from those on the ground.
Thanks

Would be interested to know if this is a regular monthly get together and how it works.

I know nothing about carparking as property. But one thing jumped out at me when reading your post. You say you are looking at paying 7.5% interest on something that will give you 6% yield, cannot have value added and presumably is going to be dependent on capital growth to make it look at more attractive. Can’t see the attraction or am…[Read more]

Thanks. Yep, I’ve advised husband that we will be doing just that. I think he was resigned to us doing it for oureselves, after getting multiple knockbacks from tilers who are mostly “too busy”. Many not taking on any new work especially fiddly small jobs like ours and those that are, are charging heaps.

Thanks for the advice on…[Read more]

Thanks very much for your info on tiling prices elsewhere. I had been expecting those sort of rates, you mentioned, tho’ maybe a bit more because of the acute shortage of skilled tradespeople in Perth at present (especially tilers it would seem)
Maybe other Perthites are paying these sorts of rates, I don’t know.
The tiles…[Read more]

Thank you [hair2]

Ring the relevant Shire and ask to speak to someone in town planning. They are usually very helpful. There are a couple of Surveyors in WA who will project manage it all for you (all you have to do is pay the bills!)
Approvals I have had have been valid for three years.

The most frustrating bit is waiting for the title to come…[Read more]

I found some information while at HomeBase in Subiaco.
“Unique surface restoration” in Bayswater 92712554 I havn’t used them. Would be interested in your feedback if you try them out.

I have used Newport postformers (Balcatta) for new laminate bench-tops. Good service and they even deliver(for a small charge) whic was very good news…[Read more]

Well, the end to the story is that the tenant is taking his option to continue with the lease at Perth cpi. He and PM exchanged e-mails over the last couple of weeks and they have decided that neither has the energy or inclination to seek legal clarification and agreed to maintain their differences of opinion.
I think if it was the…[Read more]

Sorry,can’t comment on quality of flat packs as havn’t used one. We bought an Ikea kitchen (and were happy with quality) and decided to install ourselves with the help of a “handy-man”paid on hourly rate. We had been quoted approx $1000 for it to be installed by the recommended Ikea installer and similar cost from Kitcraft, which they said…[Read more]

It seems the more people I ask, the more different answers I get!
I asked the PM for our own IP’s and she said she “had trouble” using CPI 15 years ago and now never uses it in any of her leases in her company.
The PM for the parents-in-law house is keen to get this sorted and is looking at trying to get a judgement from the Minister of…[Read more]

I agree the amount disputed is small. I’ve been trying to find out what the Residential Tenancy Act for WA states and it mentions everything except cpi!
We are just trying to ensure that the tenant isn’t trying to take advantage of our elderly parents who don’t have a lot of spare cash.
A few extra dollars to them each week is…[Read more]

I use Genesis Asset Management . They only do property management and I’ve always been pleased with their performance.
