I have an acre of land with house in the middle. Possibly worth $300k. Thanks to a subdivision in the rear we now have two road frontage and it looks like it would be a simple thing to reconfigure to 4 house blocks but with the current house remaining where it is on all 4 blocks until such...

Anyone interested in my home reno? I've been taking before and after pics. Not really sure what I will be doing with it after the reno but I am going to be moving up into my beach house where the weather is nicer. Trying to do it all on the cheap with my own labour. Time period is not important.

I have two circuits on my old power box to service all powerpoints in the house. Any idea how much power you can draw off them before the safety trips? Is it 2400 watts each or much more?

I've kinda lost touch. What's todays bestest most super-duperest games computer available in Australia atm? No internet, just games, games, games. :cool:

Just imagine he's a tenant who trashed an IP. :D http://www.slapcorey.com/ I got 193 meters! :)

The other day a real estate agent asked Les and I what we do and we were totally unprepared for the question. I said "nothin". Les wasn't any help as he said "same as her". The poor agent wasn't sure what to say. :eek: We are obviously too young to say retired as I am only 45 and Les is...

Whats happening at BIG meet next Tuesday? I tried to access the website but its not working for me atm.

My sons computer has a noisy graphics card fan. Sometimes when he turns the computer on there is this loud whirring sound and he turns it off and tries again later. Eventually it starts without the whirring. He has thoroughly cleaned all dust from the computer and the card's fan but it still...

Is there any limit per annum to gifting cash or shares to my children? I would like to get some small investing going (even if its just a rollover term deposit) so they have some equity when they get old enough to borrow for themselves.

I often see houses straddling two blocks and imagined the house was deliberately built on the two blocks. My own parents did when they built their own home and the beauty of it was only one set of council rates was paid. I was wondering if it is possible to subdivide into two blocks while an...

As those of you who have read my thread in property management thread already know, I have finally gotten the tenant out and now comes the part of renovating the place. I cannot believe it but I just spent all day demolishing part of the kitchen cupboards. I could just belt silly whoever...

I cannot tell if my dogs are being infested with cattle ticks, brown dogs ticks, or scrub ticks. I don't think they are paralysis ticks as the legs are wrong. Revolution spot on did nothing to halt the invasion. A pyrethrum wash is protecting them for 3 days at present. I have tick collars for...

I have been trying to vacate a tenant which seems like forever. First pm should never have put that tenant in that house anyway. Second pm didn't bother to collect any rent for 2mths. Been on TV that one. Third is marvellous and is doing everything by the book. Said tenant just decided not...

If we default on our loans we are charged penalty interest. If we default on council rates we are charged penalty interest. If a tenant defaults on their rents we have to wear it until they pay. How come we can't charge penalty interest?

Just put together and updated our portfolio for 1 Jan 2008. You may notice a big drop in the number of IP's and a rather large shareportfolio has been added. :D

Well I may be going over to the "dark side" into commercial property investment. I have never thought much about it so I will be buring myself in all the commercial forum posts to learn...fast. :D

With the Christmas season fast approaching, I thought I'd post a timely reminder. For those not on fixed rates of repayment, December is a full 31 day interest month. Just be aware of it when Christmas shopping, so you don't end up a little bit short at the end of the month. And...Merry...

I have something in my backyard you haven't got. :D The council is installing underground power and water to the new subdivisions and it runs right along my back fence. We have delayed getting the back fence re-erected incase that big heebyjeeb thing bumps it.
