Hi Derek, thanks, food for thought. I have heard that there are many students renting in the area now.
At the moment I think security screens would be a good option. Will discuss with PM.
Have a nice evening, cheers.

Thanks for suggestions Melbear, it probably would be at market value at around $170-175 so I have been told by pm. Already have pergola.
I am thinking up getting quote to change kitchen cupboards, depending on what it comes in at. The kitchen good to with a revamp.

Michael R, summed it up perfectly, well said.

Hi Redwing,

I understand what you are saying however I would not like to compare Beechboro with Wagerup, quite a bit different.

Caustic leach dams in Wagerup. Smelter belting out pollution. Periodic negative media coverage regarding same. A little risky for me.

I personally would not be comfortable buying in Wagerup for reasons stated above.

Whats wrong with:

1. Save regularly
2. Learn as much as you can
3. Watch every dollar
4. Have the right attitude
5. Use someone elses money

Isn’t this fundamentally what most people here are doing to achieve financial freedom.

The article “how to retire a millionaire” sure appears to be a little outdated and whether you achieve more or less…[Read more]

Would NOT want to buy in Wagerup.
I believe this is the third expansion since 1984, last was at a cost of around $800 m so I have been told.

I dont know whether anyone would like to live that close to an aluminuim refinery. Not a HEALTHY lifestyle.
Pinjarra or Waroona may be far enough!!

Hi there, I believe that 1hotvaluer also has a partner, could be similar situation. I recall her mentioning that this has worked well for her, you may like to PM her. Cheers

Yep, well we have to get broad band I am spending too much time on this forum and NO ONE can use the phone. But that will change in 1 month when we are hooked up, and I can have some peace. Still got a numb bum….. (my spelling is bad??)

Aussiemike, Perth is really going strong, whenever I contact a real estate agent regarding an IP I may be interested in they spill the beans on all THOSE EASTERN STATE INVESTORS buying big (not less than 5 properties in one hit) on this particular day……

HI Brahms, you must be dreamin’ I suppose your really not the zoning fairy.
Anyway, my needs are modest I would be happy with increasing rent to say $170 PW.

Thanks Dreamcatcher, I have looked into development options. I would only be interested in this option if I was able to build two new homes (3×2), I do not want to retain the original house.…[Read more]

Hi Monopoly,

sorry I was not particularly clear in my post – I stated was desperate for funds.

I would like to increase rental return on IP which is currently $160 pw and costs me approximately $4,000 pa.

I am really trying to achieve a greater return than $160 pw. Looking at ideas from people on ways that I could improve this situation.

It…[Read more]

Do a search, check out posts from Westan and Kay Henry, Minimogul, you should find some hints here.

Have tried Derek, but one obstacle, my partner…
thanks

Hi DD, call me sentimental, but I just cant sell an IP, especially when I know its got potential to still go UP…. I am a little conservative.

Give me a break, its not my fault that I am technically challenged, anyway its my turn to entertain you.

dont know????

Hello, Brahms for help and others, thanks for info. Have decided to look at other options. Cheers

thanks guys, I just paid $800 for roof repairs (cash). Shame, cant claim.
But the quotes I was getting was around $1,500 – $1,600. I am still in front anyway. Cheers.
Good, question Redwing, be interesting to find out the answer.[exhappy]
