Make sure you make a note in your files of the exact shade and brand, so in years to come you know exactly what you need for…[Read more]

Then you can concede something that you didn’t really expect to get, and end up with exactly what you really wanted.

In this scenario, I suspect your buyers wanted $15K off the price, so told you the estimate to repair was…[Read more]

I like to think that I am a better landlord because of it … I know what used to upset me when I was a tenant (landlords ignoring maintenance requests being the most annoying) so I make sure I treat all my tenants really well (fair rent, all repairs attended to straight away). They must like it, they seem to all want to…[Read more]

However, it was posted in the hope of getting some feedback on the book. I felt that people might hold back with their comments if they knew I was the author (rather like when someone says to you ‘do I look good in this dress?’ when you know they are not expecting a truthful reply).…[Read more]

I also believe that while you are responsible for the cost of advertising (which in your case seems excessively high) you should only be paying pro rata for the reletting fee. So if the agent charges $500 to the owner for reletting, and you only have 3 months left on…[Read more]
