This is a generic question, I don't really know what I should expect as an answer.
I've had an investment property in Mooroolbark VIC for a few years and have gotten used to leaving the PM a number of messages and I sometimes get a call back. I believed this was normal.
In the last year I purchased a few more in SEQLD and found the PM's always return my calls, always follow up everything, and always do everything meticulously. They're also a fair bit cheaper.
I've been fortunate the tenants have been good and the property in Vic has gone up a good 20% in a few years enabling me to buy more.
I'm paying 8%+gst + 2 weeks rent for a new tenant here. Is that normal?
I know this will sound petty however I'm after advice to minimize the impact of changing PM mid tenancy because I'm frustrated with paying more than I should for them not doing regular quarterly inspections and simply not caring? I can wait until the lease ends before taking action, as that will be about 6 months.
Could some people share stories of pitfalls and successes of moving agencies? I feel I got lucky in Qld with the PM's I have who spent a lot of time talking and educating me even before I bought anything, they still occasionally call and ask if things are going well and if they're performing as I expect, I suspect just to keep in touch (they'll be getting a huge xmas hamper from me as a result!) even though they have my business.
Thanks
