Take one look at the number of ground floor properties sold as against the non-ground floor properties. Take one look at the difference in purchase prices via the comparable sales report. Take one look at their rental rates. I bet you will find a stark difference. Ground floor units have not been perceived as a desirable purchase historically and this has its own sound reasons.

Micro-location of a Property Just As Significant
Investors love the ring of the term Capital Growth; the way the term melts in their mouth. Having said this, capital growth is not always there for the taking. Achieving it needs a few hard measures, a lot of Due Diligence and a disciplined, investment-oriented mindset. It goes without saying that you have to choose your property in right suburbs but is it all you need to do? Let us find out.
Seek Credit Cards for Home Renovation But Show Paying Discipline
Credit cards have increased our propensity towards debt but I dare to believe that our credit-savviness is a result of our own paltry attitude towards handling plastic money. Yes, credit cards can allow you that great buying leverage but if your line of thinking is, “I have to pay this amount in the future and future exists only in the mind”, you have got your maths utterly wrong. That day in the future will come at you at the speed of 60 minutes per hour and soon enough you will have to pay. If, however, you can be disciplined with this powerful tool, there is no reason why credit cards cannot become a weapon in your hand. Let me show you how it can help a renovator- one among its many uses.

It is time to ponder whether we actually need such big homes, especially in the light of an ever-imminent housing shortage.
Consider these aspects before buying a fixer upper
Real estate investors have become thoroughly busy and this has grossly affected the position of first home buyers. In the context, mooting over the idea of purchasing a fixer upper appears extremely attractive.

What It Takes To Manicure A Lawn Perfectly
In an article for the website Smart Property Investment, the troika of Paul Eslick, Justin Eslick and Geoff Doidge (Renovation kings) talk about how a well-laid lawn increases the sale value of a home and makes it easy for appraisers to accord it a higher price tag.
Further in the article, they talk about the technique of manicuring the ground cover. The whole process of “laying out the new turf” is discussed in neat and easy-to-follow steps. The steps are centred around spraying the old lawn, removing the top soil layer, levelling the soil, and laying the new turf.
