I try not to pay more than $49, but I’d like to be able to get great ties (must be quality fabric, silk or silk mix) around thirty dollars.

I’m another happy Perth bunny who won’t be pulling out of any real estate holdings here any time soon. I’ve always felt Perth and WA in general were under appreciated and never treated seriously. I’ts a pleasure to see the place being “discovered”.

Heaps of demand for rentals and as Marisa said, a bonus if you buy a duplex /triplex sized block because you have the development potential later. I wasn’t quite clear what you meant by “safe”though. Did you mean a safe investment? If you did, I believe it would be because the area is…[Read more]

I can’t understand why people would think that its okay to smoke in the home these days. I’m an ex smoker too and I’ve come to realise that some people simply aren’t sufficiently nauseated enough by the stale smell in homes to worry about it but I know I loathe it. If I…[Read more]

When land is advertised in the REA window, its already been sold at least once and is owned privately so you only have the choice of that one block.

On the plus side, if you buy a property that is an investment, ie you intend to receive income from it and you DO NOT live in it at all, then

you’ll be able to claim a FHOG when you eventually do move into a property that is your PPOR.

If you can match that, then go for it, but for my money I’d rather minimise my risk and do some reno work myself. The accountant can keep his/her job!!

It saves wasted time in a meeting or phone call. I’ve been doing that by asking the question in an email. Then I get a written email reply. Short and sweet and a record of what I’ve been advised to do.
Still get billed, but at least I know what for. :-)

You could find that the varnish is a total pain to remove and I’m not sure you can just paint over the top of it. In the 80’s, houses with panelling were treasured and boards preserved as “natural/stained” wood. Then fashions changed and it was suddenly acceptable to paint them.

Love it! It is noisier but great for family living.

Totally agree Ned Kelly. We are able to sell off plans with block (duplex) barely settled and making $100K each 4×2. house. That buy was in Hocking. This frees us up to do it again, but the problem is finding more duplex blocks! Not an easy task.
So we also started looking at single residential. One particularly appealing subdivision…[Read more]
