Hi Mark
Yes, I have the toolbox, & think it is a fantastic resource for anyone doing (or thinking of doing) a reno.
The case study dvds run through real life reno projects, and the checklist is the most detailed & in depth I have seen, by a long way. If you were to follw this checklist you could not possibly stuff up a reno
The workshop I was…[Read more]

Why would a female only group concern you? Do you argue at Fernwood gym to let you in? Would it make any difference it were for a particular nationality (Asian groups are common), what about left handers, short people? I believe there is even groups for amputees. You could join that group, but you can guess the qualification!! Maybe a group…[Read more]

The question was asked, If anyone else has a great Steve/Dave story or “thank you” (I’m sure there are many)…………….post it here

Well, in brief.
I met Dave about 5 years ago socially, & had no idea of his background. Over time we became friends & I found him to be a great sounding board for advice & ideas, both on a business (not…[Read more]

in my view the 11 sec solution was only a quick way to eliminate all the dud deals.
those that dont come close are eliminated to save time doing numbers on those that will never work while spending quality time doing hard numbers on those that MAY work.
more extensive number work needs to be done on those deals passing (or close to) the 11sec…[Read more]

the idea behind spending the money to furnish is that it should return a better sale result & pay for itself many times over (hopefully)!

Yes, (to the best of my knowledge) all costs involved are deductable if you are running it as a business. The cost of furniture will come from yout profit & only your profit is taxable.…[Read more]

Hi Amanda

Hi Foundation
yes you can find competent trades for about $44p/h (or less) but keep in mind they also complete the work much quicker than you or I!!!
Hi AmandaBS
It is great that you can increase the value of the property like that (& hats off to you) but your rental return is (unless you have many $ in the deal as CF~-, and even more – if you…[Read more]

I have just checked a price list for a hire company and found you can control the cost so it really depends on how much you want.

Thanks

This is what I call good timing. [laugh4] I just called a couple of places in Melbourne to get some ballpark figures.

One states for a 3 bedroom place it can cost $3,500 for a month BUT you can remove items or add items from there. Another place was similar in stating 3 bedroom apartment for 5 wk campaign is $3,100 and above.

As I am not sure…[Read more]

HI Anya

I suggest you just call the REA and ask. You don’t need to state you are wishing to sell. I have done this in the past on a house that sold as a private sale and asked what price it sold at.

They stated that they could not disclose the exact price but provided me with a sell range of only $5000 difference.

Thanks
