G'day again

DOUBLE GLAZING- Any window manufacturer should be able to tell you all about double glazing. I dont have the web sites handy but should not be to hard to find. Pilkington glass have a booklet out on all the performance data of different types of glass and glazing in laymens terms  and i believe it is also on there web site.

INSULATION- CSR BRADFORD make insulaation batts called "soundscreen  batts" which not only help with noise reduction but insulate your home as well. They used to be called rockwool batts.

EXTERNAL CLADDINGS- CSR HEBAL make hebal power panel but there web site is'nt very user freindly. koolwall or masterwall are companys that make styrene based products and another is called quick and tuff.

I am based in northern victoria so depending on which part of the world you are in i may be able to point  you in the right direction of a building supply company who can tell you all about any of these products

Hi Frohike

The one thing i can help you with is sound proofing a house if you decide to go ahead. I work in the sales side of the building industry and can point you in the right direction with products that can help.
Double glazed windows will help with noise as will soundscreen batts in walls and cielings. Different types of cladding on the outside of a house like rendered styrene or csr hebal power panel. If you wanted to know more about any of these products feel free to contact me.

Hi
I built my first 2 bedroom home across the road from the local lawn cemetry. The view was a sea of flowers. Didn't worry me a bit until i lost a couple of young freinds who moved in across the road. Saying that i had no trouble selling the property after having it for 18 months and made a tidy profit.

Hi Daz
I have also been looking at this site as well. Sounds and looks good but so does a big mac. I have done some investigation into it.
You pay $500 to become a member for 12 months and they will source properties for you but will charge you 2% fee on top of purchase price.
Send them an email with your questions and they will ring you and have a chat. I asked this same question a couple of weeks ago and was told it was for lazy investors. I dont believe that and would like to do some more research.
Let me know what you think when you’ve done your home work.

Another similar operation is mcorp. Check it out at http://www.mcorp.com.au

I work in the building supply industrie and also sell mistral splits. All have been fine except for one which i sold. The client also could not get any satisfaction from mistral. I have printed out a copy of your coments and will be showing my management that its all good and wll buying something cheap but do we want the reputation of sselling crap.
If i get any answers on the dodgy split i will let you know.

My mother lives in QLD and was telling me in brisbane there is a shortage of rental properties. People actually telling agents they will pay more rent just to secure a property. I believe it’s as good a place as any to start.

goodluck

G,day
I’m new to the game but everthing i’ve read and studied tells me that thier correct. Hangon to the property and use the equity to buy another. The only other thing i have played around with is trading options. No expert. Done everything wrong you could possibly do and still came out in front. Check out http://www.21stcenturyacademy.com
If you read through the hipe they actually have some amazing share strategies. This is not for everyone but it may give you some new ideas on investing.

goodluck
