    Id gut it, and then keep it simple and modern. It can be done for under 5k.

    First I would get rid of the shutters, maybe put in traditional QLDer ones. Also paint the house in zen or neutral colours. Thats what I would do. Its a cute place.

    Things have gotten worse, tenant is now making up lies to the property manager, which is fine because the pm got a taste first hand of what the tenant was like with the walk through, the shouting and swearing! Not to mention the extra dogS! Yes Multiple.

    I wont raise the rent again, i just put it up..  that wouldnt be fair. (But i am starting to want this *&^% OUT)

    Lets tell them that! With the windows they took out and the AC they put in.. PM can take care of it now, I wash my hands of those tenants. I will just keep an eye on what the PM is doing..much easer :-)

    If the tenant has an issue with smoke alarms, they should put one in rather than pee their pants!

    "You are not the evil monster; the tenant is. You are providing them with a home, taking all the risks and they are showing you no respect."

    The point is about the smoke alarms Colin, that the tenant can get them as easily as I can, if its such a big issue she should get them! Before the tenant pees in their pants! The tenant is making me sick, they lie, cheat and steal, and break laws.

    I am abiding the laws, tenant can wait until the legal date kicks in, and if they start a fire..i have malicious damage insurance, and i will press charges from every criminal angle I can, as well as psychological… investigations i am sure i could arrange for them… I know you mean well and i know they are cheap the point was more so that the tenant needs to play it fair, and not use me as if i have money to wipe my butt with,most of us don't, I wish i did!:-) Nice new money too with no germs on it! Even better!

    PS. There was an extra tree cut down!

    It wasnt stated on the plan of trees they are cutting down  now I want to sue them or get compensation. I feel like an evil monster. But I feel like everyone is taking advantage of me.

    Yes the PM is LOVELY! Very understanding and when the PM met the tenant there was some very nasty words said by the tenant. Tenant turned into a honestly a 'monster' I was speechless!

    So now I have a PM thank you all for helping me through this crisis.

    Now Im sure all the rental arrears will get paid, seems tenant overlookied' them.. I didnt. Plus all the other little things … you know!

    My next aim, I will need help with is in getting my 2nd property. Its a 12 month goal.

    In the area there are 2 that returned my calls the other one… zippo

    So one of the PMs I spoke to was snappy sounding, yet they have lower rates than real estate 3. RE 3s rates are at 8% but they followed me up, phoned, emailed and are working for it. I just hope it keeps on. I am meeting them today :-)

    Thing is it will cost me a bucket on their colsts grr

    Are there any other costs involved with a PM?

    I reccomend somthing totally different. Look at Yaraville, a small underdeveloped suburb that will explode even further soon, in my oppinion.

    Artaud do you still have that spreadsheet? Id like to see it, even without the companies in it but with the headings etc that would be useful for a few of us here.

    Thanks for your support everyone. Her contract is well and truly expired and now its just month to month so I can kick her to the curb if she becomes too much to deal with. I will make urgent calls tomorrow about landlord insurance, i dont have that yet… whoops, i have house insurance…

    I will also call a few PMs and see what their rates are and what they can get for the property etc.

    Cheers psychiatrist x

    No its private at this stage, though I am seriously considering doing it through a reputable agency. I just looked up the average rental costs for the suburb and they are $200 for a 3 bdm, and as such mines in very good condition. (Not being biased it really is in good condition)

    I just looked up about the fire alarms, and they arent req until July 1st so guess what…. on the day before she can have one and not a minute sooner!

    Moo ? LOL

    Am I bad?
