I have had a look and there doesn't seem to be a lot of share accommodation available at any one time.Thanks for the tip about insurance I will make sure my broker checks GIO, many thanks again FF

I'm sure there are a quite a few agencies around, we have a couple of good ones in Frankston who have expressed interest so I'm sure that'll be fine. Not sure about students tho, what do you think? Quite often not around for a full year….thought I might be better to target regular local people, cheers for the post

I imagine that with such a rental crisis that finding tenants isn't too much of an issue. Anyone have any thoughts?All 3 houses have at least one person in them that has been there…[Read more]

But like you say everyone is just SO busy….having said that thanks for the posts cheers guys FF

Appreciate the reply and the welcome…cheers mate FF

I have been doing my research into Share houses and Rooming houses, yes I know they have a bit of a bad name but I reakon if they are well managed…like hands on….they could be good money and very rewarding at the same time.
