Basically, I think property investing is a wonderful thing, but was against him spending how many weekends off working on a place that needed the work…..we have enough…[Read more]

We didn't follow up on this 'renovator's delight' property and months on it still sits on the market. BF might never hear the end of this from me…that it was unlikely to have been the brilliant property deal he thought it was.I note that eventually the agent's updated the listing, mentioning that is has…[Read more]

Finally, be careful of what agents tell you in regards to what rents you can get.

In this case I was certain, as I am familiar with the small group of identical houses along that particular street and what they attract for their weekly rental….so…[Read more]

We have resolved to move more quickly next…[Read more]

The windows can be partially…[Read more]
