Some of the lenders are still touchy about Kit homes. However some of the Kit home companies are now working with particular lenders which makes things some what easier.Richteddy

After two coats you could barely see the cover strips and they certainly blended in and it gave it the rendered look.  You do need to practice and work out a bit of a tec…[Read more]

Thanks for organising this. Count me in and I’ll see if my partner in crime will be available.

My thoughts are the same as Adam when it comes to the food. Thanks for the thought on the finger food but I think most people would organise themselves whether before hand or at Breaky Creek.

Looking forward to a great evening.[thumbsupanim]

I think there are a number of points to consider for you –
looking for growth V yield value for money time amount of patience level of research already done etc

Have never used buyer agent but have travelled out of my local area(Brisbane) to look at opportunities (Cairns) and spent most of yesterday travelling around the…[Read more]

Thanks for all the pointers.

Original contractor went round to unit and has come back with solution (they have smaller grinder – so can do the job for about the same price as quoted for big machine) so all is looking good. [happy3]

He even gave suggestions on how to get the rest of the lino up (lots of water to moisten the paper backing)…[Read more]

Now you have to look at your situation and consider such things as:
How important is the FHOG to me? How much reading and research on property investing have I done? How much deposit do I have? How much research or investigation of the area I want to purchase in? What sort of property am I looking for? How much +CF do I want?Etc.

That was what I did (after a relationship break up) but I did have enough money to cover costs and deposit. Found it was cheaper sharing a rented unit (rent $65/week) than living in the property I had purchased (someone else was willing to pay $180/week to do that). But you would have to check out the situation with FHOG as to get the…[Read more]

I have had a guy David Little (Access Home Inspection)(0416072870) who has done a number of building inspections on properties for me and I have found him to be very good. Usually costs about $250.

Have a similar problem myself to try and sort out. Don’t forget in these situations to consider wills and power of attorney so if anything happens to you, mum’s ok. (Sorry about the depressing ending)
