I'm driving a 2002 Mitsubishi Magna, complete with pre-dinted rear bumper, bought at auction in 2006 for 8k. I love it to bits! Huge boot, room for the kids in the backseat, and has no trouble towing the trailer.
My favourite car ever was the car I had in uni. 1975 Holden Gemini, metalic purple paint, you couldn't kill that thing! Even though it was over 20 years old when I got it, the only trouble I ever had with it was when the ignition lock bearings seized – not bad after 20 years use! I miss that gemini sooooo much….Hear Hear! I'm with you, Beth. We need to start a Landlords Revolution! We'd never sell a property through an agent that refused to work on weekends, why do we put up with Property Managers that won't? Personally, I want a Property Manager to keep my property rented to a good quality tenant, which usually means someone with a job. When my property is vacant and costing me a fortune, I want them bending over backwards to sign up a tenant, and the more work commitments that tenant has the better as far as I'm concerned! There are excellent tenants spending weeks just trying to get a look inside a house, and perfectly good houses sitting empty for weeks because people aren't loking at them.
We all need to stand up and demand the service these people are contracted to offer. You're right, Beth, it would have been cheaper for you to take a week off work and do the whole job yourself, which entirely defeats the purpose of having a property manager! If they can't or won't, we need to take our business to those who will. I found one. Beth found one. Don't put up with second rate, snail pace service!
and while I'm here, a quick plug for Harcourts at Sunnybank Hills… lease signed in 3 days! THAT'S more like it!Honestly, I found it much easier to buy! Even with finance, building and pest, negotiations, still much less frustrating than trying to rent!
And seriously, if you didn't want to work on weekends why on earth would you choose to go into REAL ESTATE??? Go work for a bank or something.
