In this case, your tenants need to know that holes in the wall, chewed carpeting or broken moulding is not normal and things like that could result in their losing their security deposit. 

The returns are too slim on flips for my liking, especially when you're putting down $500,000+ for a junker home an hour plus out of Sydney, sell it for $600,000, only to have $90,000 chewed up in contractor and local government costs.  

Thank you for taking your time and chewing it out for me!

I don't want to bite off more than I can chew/afford but this is a small house so costs would be lower than your average 3/2 in the same condition.

I've just bought my first fixer upper and feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew.

Let me chew on that a little bit. :) I know where to find ya if I get stumped. 

Big burly guys that drive jacked up 4x4s, smell like diesel, chew tobacco and have neck tats. 

They have chewed the current ducting system. 

If you're new to this, I'd suggest getting your feet wet first before biting off more than you can chew.
