Scope of Cover
EBM provide a specific tenent damage/ rent default cover but this does not cover the building against Fire and Perils.
This was how i saw it ie you need 2 policies.
Distinction between normal wear and tear and malicious damage is crucial when claiming.

The VALUER raised it by $5pw. I felt this was questionable but when i tried to rent it privately found it was fair. The new carpets and paint only got $5 more and it was vacant for 4 weeks.
I suspect the valuer- their repport is available- take the average of 3 like properties.
This is in a regional town.

Council said similar re driveway and requirement to have minimum of 450m2 around the house.
Have owned a unit with unequal unit entitlements and found it was a bit unwieldy as the owner of largest unit was not paying at all.
This is much appreciated.

-The difficulty in on-selling is good for the investor buying it
-16.5% management fee is fair if you factor in- say 3 weeks vacancy per year, rent paid on time etc
-Yields…[Read more]
