Yes, this is Brett's unit !!

Wanting a place of his own, he bought this two bedroom unit during June 2008 ... and all the details can be seen by clicking HERE
That albumn also includes links to over two hundred photos taken in and around his new home

Being part of a 'resort style' complex, it is a great place to live ... everything is done for you !! ... the body corporate does the lot !!

Brett then met up with Kahlia and her youngsters, and found that the place was a bit small for growing boys ... and even though there is a pool and lots of common areas for kids to play in, they really wanted a bigger place with it's own backyard

After looking around and checking out dozens of adverts and real estate agents, Brett decided on a magnificent four bedroom 'mansion' at Kewarra Beach ... and you can see the details and photos by clicking HERE

Now the decision had to be made ...... What to do with the Unit ??

The decision was made ...... Keep it as an Investment Property

Now another decision had to be made ...... Who will be Good, no, Great Tenants ??

That easy decision was made ...... Dad and Mum !!

As mentioned above, we had been renting the duplex at '123 Trinity Beach Road' for over twenty six years ... the traffic noise was increasing all the time, we hated all the neighbours and their bloody barking dogs and bloody loud music, and we didn't want to do any more garden maintenance and stuff like that

Plus, living there we were helping some other person pay off his mortgage ... why not give the rent money to Brett !!

So we moved in ... spending our first night here on Sunday 27th December 2009

And it has been great ... as you'll see when checking out the photos mentioned above, the complex includes a swimming pool, lawned common areas, magnificent trees and landscaping ... and all the work is done for you !!

There is also a large back patio which is included in the photos plus there are a few photos and videos below ... and this is where we spend most of our time

Yep ... it was a very good idea to move ... a real hassle organising twenty six years of accumulated 'junk' but it was worth it !!
