    Curious is to what area code your house is in, hope its not 64130. 

    NO, it is 64050. Independence. just a few blocks from harry trumans house.

    If it matters just wanted to validate that area. If you are anywhere near the Truman House, your in good shape. Very nice area and can bring some really nice rents..

  • I am glad to hear that some of these companies/individual’s will be brought to justice. I can only hope that enough people will come forward to make the verdict that much easier.

  • My 2c. I have never heard of this outfit either, but I’m sure with some DD, it will be easy to find out about them.

    I am always concerned with those companies that charge an upfront fee. This almost always means they are “brokering deals” and can never be 100% positive the properties are still available. Many of the “large” turn-key companies…[Read more]

    ************UPDATE**********************

    So the initial mailing of 114 letters went out to the tenants on the 2nd of January.

    To date:

    18 New Leases to officially enroll in the Rental Rewards Program, very happy with this many results this early. 8 of these leases were ready to expire within the next 90 days, so I’m very happy with that.

  • engelo,

    I appreciate the feedback. I think that’s a great idea, keeps them focused on the prize. I will come up with something and run it by the owners and see how they feel.

    Thanks Again!

    I have considerably more admiration for those that have gotten “dirty”. There is no replacement for the knowledge you gain by doing it the real way.

    Hi John.
    That’s a very clever strategy.
    It converts personal living expenses the tenant can’t claim on tax,
    into expenses the landlord can claim.

    Can someone familiar with Australian Tax Laws tell us if
    there are any FBT implications in supplying “free” utilities to a tenant ?
