Re: Staircase facing front doorFeng Shui

Jul 30, 2010 5:19 pm

I thought it was only in certain cultures that they didnt like the stairs to face the front door :th: Anyhoo, in saying that, we made sure our door did not face the front door direct for resale purpose :wink: if ever we decided to sell. No point putting off 70% of future buyers. It had nothing to d...

I still LOVE Cosco and have got use to its quirky 'food lines' and bulk buying. I think its a terrific store but you just need to get use to it. When ever we go it is always packed but we try to advoid weekends now as the car parking can be a nightmare. Our kids love going there for all the free sam...

Mrs B, I don't completely disagree with you but I have still to find an alternative that allows a person so many options to filtering light with sliding doors. I may very well still end up with verticals there but I'm considering the Luminettes by Luxaflex that Michelle suggested. They look soft wi...

Are verticals daggy and outdated? No...verticals are not daggy...they are just horrid. No...verticals are not outdated...they never were in fashion, just a real cheap option for landlords who are tight with their rental properties.

To say I LOVE my kitchen benchtop would be an understatement :lol: It is a granite and the colour is Bianco Romano (sp) It took my quite a long time to find this particular stone but well worth the price I paid...well I think :lol: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qwsifVa7A28/Shsf8uoQofI/AAAAAAAAAwk/cJwcPQ...

What we have discovered over the last few months that even some tax agents do not give correct advise about CGT.

Re: How did you juggle selling & buying properties?Real Estate

May 25, 2010 7:19 am

Sell your property first If the agent/potential buyer even get a whiff that you are desperate to sell then that puts you in a much weakened bargaining position and they will offer you much less than your asking price. Renting if your dream property has not been found is a pain in the b*** but at le...
