Nelsons is a she! geez guys!

Another reason the approval process takes so long is that sometimes the submitted application is so dodgy and insufficient that the planner/building surveyor/engineer cannot do an adequate assessment. We then have to go back and forth between the developer and ourselves a hundred times just so we can get all…[Read more]

First:
Is your proposal permissible in the land use zone?

This is the fundamental point. You need to find out what you are and aren’t allowed to do on the land. I assume that you are in a medium or high density residential zone and already know that you can build a…[Read more]

We weren’t aware of the hoons and our neighbours have confirmed that since we moved it has got much worse. Yes, thorough DD is essential and we have learned the hard way. I think most of the problem relates to the street itself – we are located right opposite the IGA so it is the epicentre of the suburb and…[Read more]

Our PPOR is in Tuggeranong or Thuggeranong, as I’ve been calling it lately!

We are yet to lobby the member but we’ve repeatedly asked for patrols (the shops across road are also regularly vandalised). Hubby has started running out in his jammies flashing his spotlight (yes, just his spotlight!)…[Read more]

This means that even if you butter Council up and plead ignorance and ‘clean the place up’ there is little Council can do if it’s a prohibited use in the zone.

Granny flats are often…[Read more]

I have just read the ‘positive cashflow’ article on the home page. Whilst our Penriff unit is negatively geared (just a little bit…), and hasn’t appreciated in value over the past 3 years it’s not all bad. The philosophy of this web site seems to emphasise that property investing needn’t be all about…[Read more]

Definitely something to look into to ease our cash flow issues. Yes Penrith… is that with one ‘ef’ or two?
Since hooking up with this site I have seen so much good information about the whole ‘long term vision’ thing so yes, we will hang on to Penriff for a bit longer.

You’ve given lots of good info out I’ve seen.

Nope, we are doing it all very safe. Our PPOR is just your nice and easy P and I variable homeloan. No offsets, nothing! We only just moved here too (6 months ago). Cost us $315K. Borrowed $252K. I just want to get rid of my PPOR mortgage!!! I…[Read more]
