Hi all,
I have been lurking here for a little while & it's about time I had something to say. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum & its great how everyone jumps in & helps out with advice!After talking about buying an IP for 5 or so years I finally convinced the other half we should do it NOW, and we did.
We settled on Monday on a house in Raceview (near Ipswich) & our first tenants moved in yesterday. I cant believe the state some people leave houses in when they sell. This one looked like they had done no cleaning since we signed the contract a month ago – carpets & walls were filthy.We took a few days to clean carpets & fix a few broken gates & give the yard a good cleanup. Also needed a locksmith as there were 9 !!keys needed for the house – nearly pulled a muscle when the agent handed us a couple of (partial) sets of keys!
We are planning on painting & replacing carpets in a year or so then a bit later on we want to reno the kitchen & bathroom but until then its just sit back & see how it comes along.
This house is a keeper (thats the plan anyway) & hopefully #2 IP wont be too far away.
Cheers
Stella
