Welcome to BP, a great place to be ;-).dig around the forums, you will find plenty of literature on this topic.

I am a newbie with a predilection for systems and processes, so I found Mike’s post amazing.Now let me dig a little deeper on your tip.

You are in the right place to dig in and start learning.... everyone started the same way.

I'm thinking I wud really like to use the opportunities to get into an "as is where is" property even to live in to rellocate to a better area and a bigger property & rent our house out once we have spruced it up a bit.I guess knowledge gets u further, will keep digging and see what I can come up with.Anyway thanks for listening even thou had no choice in the matter lolAnd all the best for ur endeavours in Auckland & Hamilton :)

I will have to dig in deeper into the subject.

Continue to dig through the listings.
