    Yes, I’m about to hurt their feelings(at lease try to!) by making an offer.
    I’ve been searching in Melbourne. But decided to switch the search to the western suburbs of Sydney.

    Just bought a queenslander and have spent the past seven days (ten to twelve hours each day) ripping up carpets, layer upon layer of lino, demolisted the bathroom, painting, painting, painting. Feeling a tad tired but it is wonderful seeing a sow’s ear turn into a silk purse. Very rewarding!

    Going to run a bath now and wash the cockie dirt out of my hair. I wonder what the poor people are doing. (In case that is confusing, it refers to comments made to my parents about how “lucky” they are to have investment houses. Beats me where luck comes into it, it is hard work sometimes.)

    Now to that bath ……

    Wylie.

    I feel your pain Wylie. We are doing something similar to you right now. My home is a brick veneer and we are converting from a 3 to a 4 bedroom by moving the laundry and doing a new bathroom and kitchen plus a few other bits and pieces.

    Tradies do all the smart work but there is still plenty left over for me.

    Some people will tell you that while you do this sort of work to best deals pass you by. I tend to disagree. My money works hard for me while I sleep but if I did not have a project going (even just a small one) I think I would go crazy.

    In a strange way I find this sort of work relaxing and tend to crunch numbers etc while on the job rather than sitting in front of the computer. Too many distractions on the screen and the forum is just a click away.

    The mobile phone keeps me in touch with the world and the laptop gets checked on coffee breaks. I am lucky enough to be no more that five minutes drive away from the properties I am looking at buying.

    So, I guess what I am saying is that the skills you learn now will serve you well in your career as a property investor.

    As soon as we finish here we are of across town and believe it or not converting a 4 bedroom home back to a three. ( This is also one of ours that we have just bought and not yet settled on) This decision was made after speaking at length to a valuer and several agents. The master will be a first floor with full ensuite. This will be the sort of private room that buyers in this market are just screaming for. There will be two double bedrooms down with two living areas, new kitchen and bathroom. Once again I won’t be doing too much of this work but know exactly how a house is put together helps you work with rather than against the people you are paying to make the job happen. It also helps you know when to get out of the way and let the pros do their thing.

    Cheers
