Thanks Nigel,

What would you be prepared to pay?
(I used the same PM in 2005 and was happy with the service)

Am I the only person on this forum that uses a Property Manager to manage their investment property?

Surely not.

Hi Angelinvest,

Do you have a “For Lease” Sign out front of your properties?
Isn’t Morwell/Traralgan known for its Medical Training? – hopefully the hospital can help you out or the Training Company that looks after/places the Medical Registrars? (not sure of the name).
Also maybe if you are really getting desparate, offer to pay part removalist…[Read more]

Hi Everyone,
My ears pricked up when I saw Wagga mentioned.
I used to live there. My property (a house) is soon to be finished which I plan to rent out. I have had other IP’s also and probably plan on Investing again on units. I only have good things to report.

Hi Guys,
Buying all these books gets really expensive. What I did was sign up to the Borders Bookstores website. http://www.bordersstores.com (I am in VIC) and you get an email each month with a discount voucher. Varies from 10% to 30% or buy one get one free.

Hi All,

We recently sat our yearly Body Corporate Meeting and afterward talked about Sacking our Current Body Corporate Manager and Employing a new one. There has been general chit chat between the owners that they have been dissatisfied with the service for over a year.

What is the correct way to appoint a New Body Corporate Manager.

Anyone…[Read more]

Another site I found is zeroagents.com.au. I think this is a QLD based company but has listings in other states aswell.

I haven’t used it but might be worth a look.

Hi Don

Can you please explain to me how you buy tree’s to offset capital gains tax?

Is this something you do at the time of building for the property you are selling??

Thanks
