    Tenant just sms to cancel viewing Sat morning

    Because its rude and bad business to have an open house and not be there for the prospects with only 11 hours notice. 2 or 3 days notice would be ok. And it lets them know its ok to do that for the next landlord. Its not ok.

    Reasonable expectations from a PM

    What to do next in the face of bad economy? 1 PPOR & 4 IPs

    If handwringing is taking more energy than buying more IP's, why not hold steady and pay down your PPOR (into your offset) till you feel like you don't need to handwring anymore. Once paid down to a level you are happy with, save up for another IP. Sometimes, we need to get ok with the...
