Thanks...appreciate the advice...

Am looking for suggestions from this fine forum....would like to reno a few of my properties (cosmetic renos, redoing bathroom/kitchen to bring them into this age) but would like to preserve the equity I have for upcoming purchases rather than use it for the renos. Any suggestions as to a...

Not strictly property investment, but was wondering if there are any property valuers on the forum willing to share their story. How they got into the industry (TAFE vs uni, how are different courses perceived by potential employers, the pros/cons of this type of job e.g. is there lots of...

Hi Terry...tried to PM you as I'd also like help setting up a will, but was advised that you don't receive private messages. :confused:

Thanks again for organising meet up tnite...I really enjoyed listening to others and getting ideas for how to move ahead, as well as just general property investment chats.

I plan to come by, first time for me but also a NY resolution to be a bit more active around investing and attending meetups. Looking forward to it and thanks to Television for organising!:o

Thanks Rolf....I like to think I have the patience of a saint, my broker sure does with my endless requests of 'What's happening?'.....hopefully close to an outcome though. :)

almost 8 weeks and counting for an AMP cash-out.....sigh....

Thanks to both Terry W and Handyandy for their advice....as this is a Qld townhouse, I have been advised that under Qld legislation, the body corporate is responsible for all piping up to the property, but that any piping within the property itself (be it in cavities or elsewhere) is the...

Hey Pete, next time you're in Sydney let me know and I'll hook you up with Martin to go for a dive around our shores :)

I too have little to contribute re. regional investing but just wanted to echo Mary&Mat's sentiments :)

Noice!!!!!;)

Will hopefully make it as have been keen to meet Sydney investors... thanks Sherene:)

Will also second (or should that be third, or fourth, or.....) Pete!!;)

a bit late returning to this thread but to skater's point, no disrespect taken...portfolio isn't that large, just 7 properties at the mo, looking to add since we've recently moved back down under :) Although I do understand what you mean by the 'tall poppy' syndrome and its pervasiveness so can...

Not necessarily, I think it could be more of a matter of how you go about telling people...most of my friends who I've told (not all of course, just a handful) are very interested in how it could be done, are admirable of the 'courage' it takes etc etc and would like to emulate. Coming off as...
