I think you’ve just proved my point anyway.. thanks.

I’m thinking that if people just HAVE to be nasty or to get something off their chest, go elsewhere…. set up a corner where they can play imature kiddies and leave others to talk descently to each…[Read more]

I agree with Dav… unless you’re working near Collingwood Park, i would think that it’s a bit too far out. There’s always good value within the inner city suburbs..

It’s not a bad area, quite a few ‘new’ estates out there, but just the distance would be a concern.

Depends on where you’re working though Jem… can you fill us in on…[Read more]

I ran in to get the pile of about 50 cards that we have there, and they’re all the same as the ones you have!

Good luck!

DON”T SIGN anything until you have read absolutely everything… ESPECIALLY if it isn’t you that has done the offer up.

Really, they shouldn’t be doing that, it’s your territory…. that’s for you to be putting in what you want. You need to be putting in the offer of what it is that YOU think the property is worth, not what they would like…[Read more]

Redwing,

My hubby is with you on this one! we’re actually expecting and he’s already on the hunt for weapons! hahahahah

nice one

Not quite sure about the acceptance bit, but you can be assured that the money is held in a trust account.

Real estates must bank all monies received into their trust accounts within 24 hours… perhaps this is what has happened through reception or something?

Don’t worry, you will certainly get your money back if there’s a problem or…[Read more]

so Gatsby…. who asked who then? [laughing]

To include an ‘option’ like that on a tenancy agreement is really unusual.…[Read more]

It’s not a ‘QLD’ thing… this must be agreed to with the landlord and tenant anywhere.. not just in this state.

Wasn’t the owner asked if this was ok at the beginning of the lease when they were being signed up?

Tam

I think that may be a little harsh perhaps?

We all are in a position where we would never ‘trade’ our partner in for a new and younger model just because they don’t share our passion for investing! All of us that have replied throughout this thread have the same traits in common… we are committed and loyal partners who respect our…[Read more]

Congrats again![inlove]

Tam

Is the ‘Option’ that the tenant is referring to in writing somewhere? is it on the original lease agreement?

If you ask me, as long as she was aware of the property for sale (she was given or sent written notice by the PM) and the lease only has 12 months for the original time frame, then she’s got buckleys. Sounds like she’s trouble,…[Read more]

Hubby and I have just celebrated our first as well!

Michael.. the first ann. is paper.. you’re right! not quite sure what you could give as a gift though.. i got a teddy bear for ours. (perhaps he is stuffed with paper?).. but not just any…[Read more]

Tam

Just wondering how long the PM was holding your rent for? was she holding it aside for you later, or using it for maintenance?

Did they not get a quote for the painting before it got started… if you were leaving it up to the PM to organise, they’ll pretty much go with the first one. Obviously not what you want!

I’m just curious as…[Read more]

I too am in the same boat… my hubby couldn’t give a rats about investing and seems to think that money grows on trees and will be there when we…[Read more]

Boy oh Boy….I feel that you may have really taken some of these jokes and sarcasm to heart. Where on earth did that come from?

Not sure if you realise, but everyone has their story, and perhaps some of us are rostered on, but CANNOT get out of it? Did you even bother to as why we were working for that period of time?

Perhaps we’ve…[Read more]

Merry Christmas,

I hear you Ian…. I hear you! hehehehe I’ll be thinking of you whilst I’m working also![angry2]

Why do the couple have to be under 28?

PS (are you the husband?) heheheh

Just some info from the ‘other side of the fence’. Hubby and I are currently renting a property and are running a business from home. We haven’t advised the owner, but mind you, it is a one man show with the work being off of the premises anyway. We have been there for many years and really, he’s only happy with the rent being paid…[Read more]

Tam

I can’t think of any at the moment, but will certainly get back to this one when I do!

HAHAHAHAH…..

Say, if i was to buy the business now (we are both looking at buying this business anyway), but if I was solely to buy it through a trust set in my name,…[Read more]

Good lord! Sounds like it could be quite messy at the best of times – a divorce! gees…… Think I might get her to see a lawyer as you said BEFORE she even thinks about anything.

Much appreciated!

Tam

Although, I’ve had a quick look and it seems to be a steer to another real estate perhaps? I dunno.. i’ll have another look and tell you otherwise if i’m wrong.

Cheers!

I see feet stomping…. I see arms flailing and lots of tears. Don’t take it personally…..Me thinks someone is getting a widdle cwanky?[whistle]

Tam

Don’t feel like you are being a ‘pest’ in the PM’s eyes… that’s their job! They also shouldn’t make you feel like you are being a pain either. I think you should be the ‘squeaky wheel’ as said above… what’s the worst that they will do? Send you away?

I used to work in a Real Estate for a PM and I was the one that had to call the…[Read more]

I have to agree with Derek and Monopoly basically on the fact that they’ve taken an business approach to this situation and are not getting ’emotionally’ involved. If you ask for

Let me see.. you have a +cf property with 20k of furniture and a long-term tenant? I would think that property would be a good one to hang onto? Is there a problem with this one? I would think that you would have a LOT of people sussing out this property then if this was the case. What are the ‘sore’ points of this property… what…[Read more]

I think that you’ll find that all rent monies collected by the agent will be paid to you after the agency has done their End Of Month Procedure. This usually occurs on the last day of the month… however, I’m sure that you could request a mid month run.(I used to do this for any landlord that requested this). This will depend on the…[Read more]

Woohoo! What a great time I had at the Book Launch in Brisbane last night!

And a big thank you to all the people that I met afterwards also.

I had a great time and thought that it was fantastic to meet like-minded people there… was quite inspirational to meet others that are achieving what Steve and Dave have done.
