    The ability to sell, and more importantly to listen. I am selling a property as we speak and the agent I had first listed the property with had decided to shotgun everyone and anyone through the doors in the hopes of getting a contract. to the extent that he took a mother and son through who wanted a two storey house with self contained downstairs…[Read more]

  • Stuart Milne replied to the topic roof restoration help in the forum No Subject 17 years, 9 months ago

    does your roof need to be replaced or can you re-seal and paint it? the sealing and painting can be done yourself if it doesn’t need replacing? I would suggest 2 coats of acryllic bitumen followed by an under coat and two top coats of paint. A good airless and some PVA Wood Glue will assist with the finish and texture and the PVC when mixed with…[Read more]

  • Stuart Milne replied to the topic Tenancy Reference Check Questions in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 10 months ago

    Thanks Marc, I checked their employment and whilst 2 of them have only been employed short term (1 for a week and the other 2 months) they came up ok. I also checked with their current Landlord and the reason for leaving there is a genuine owner re-occupation so that came up trumps as well. Great payment and maintenance history so what can i say…[Read more]

  • Stuart Milne replied to the topic Credit Rating in the forum Finance 18 years, 2 months ago

    If the debt is repaid on those terms they have no right to list it on his baycorp file. I would take the terms and then appeal the listing. Baycorp will remove it and give them hell for that he has repaid the funds owed, so there is no requirement for listing…

  • Stuart Milne replied to the topic Market Price in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 2 months ago

    Market Value = The absolute maximum price the market will bear for the goods at that point in time. This is why it fluctuates so wildly.

    With regard to valuers on one of my recent purchases the valuer was kind enough to bring in the Valuation at $4k OVER what I paid for the property, and that is before We started on the clean up!

    Only 3% gee you guys are using the really nice lenders!

    There are soem around who range up to 7% and this includes an internal refinance. Now that seems to be the pineapple treatment to me…

    Good to see someone isn’t just focused on the rate and you’re looking at all of the options along with the full package…

    You may (read should) still be able to obtain the FHOG as long as you have never lived in the Properties you invested in. I posted a link a while back to the Federal Govt Website on the FHOG Rules.

    Bonnie if you are building two homes through them I would suggest you use that as leverage to get the tiles which are noted in your contrct at no extra price at exactly that.

    Remind them the contract is binding, and you wouldn’t want to not use them next time…

    I believe “Reasonable travel Expenses” are allowed.

    And I also believe that yes you can claim more than one trip per year if they are in different Areas.

    Best to speak with someone like your accountant first though…
