I have heard that comment about some people. Staying on good terms with people on this website precludes me naming them. Having all the windows...
If there is no match then other options should be explored. These may include putting the new tiles where the solar panels will be or finding a...
Fortnightly is simpler and has better cashflow implications for tenants. Monthly payments seem to be entrenched in Victoria and will probably not...
Not partying in my twenties saved a lot. In my fifties an office-type job was quite okay, even if the boss was insane. I was self-employed then.
Most REAs with monthly payments have something like this: $500/week X 52 weeks is $26,000/year divided by 12 months is $2166.66 a month. The rent...
In my view, FIRE involves similar aspects to goals that are or should be so for everyone. 1 Income exceeds normal expenditure. 2 A cash reserve...
Woe and alack, I missed the 2BR aspect, a significant point. Thanks Skater. The new residence should have three bedrooms.
I'm sorry to learn about your woes. There very much seems to be multiple breaches of Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Section 18 of ACL "prohibits...

The top floor may leak onto the one under. On that theme I could tell a story about a bunk, but I won't.
Welcome to the forum. The current best deposit rates are over 5%. Consider an at call account, and if you have more than $250,000, put this in...
With mould and leaks in the top floors there could be water damage under the roof. I've done renos where some aspects were hidden, so you may find...
Bombarding is a good word. A good PM will assess applicants so that they are unlikely to miss a payment. In 1992 I bought Loud Whoopee Cushions...
Thanks. I looked at cladding panels but they did not appeal. They looked like wood but are not, a bit fake for me. Also, some could not be fitted...
There's minimal room for a hedge. Also, the windows need to be clear. One room has an external blind that stops just above a bush. They keep most...
Some heat radiates out, but some goes in. The bricks are too hot to touch in summer, with heat retained well into the night. I had some success...
