Would love to join you guys on 25/3 but I'll be away... I'm keen to attend 10/4, I understand that's also at Wenty Leagues??

+1 for self-managing. I find I'm a lot more in touch with what's happening with my properties since I ditched the PMs. Now I'm managing the tenants directly, rather than managing the PMs who were supposed to be managing the tenants.

Thanks everyone! Will certainly process as breach. Let's see if that'll force her to produce AVO proof. At the moment, there's only 3wks left of the bond.

It was worth a try ;)

Yes, she handed the keys in today. Yayy!! She even signed the bond claim form. Now, what to do with their bond? It is a break lease and technically they're liable for 6 weeks, but if there's an AVO it's a completely different scenario. I have not asked her for proof, neither has she...

I believe one shouldn't mix business with pleasure when it comes to investing. So to answer your question - No, I'm not emotionally attached to any of my IPs. It's purely business for me.

If the motivation is there, it's not difficult. You will find the time to study no matter how busy you are. I did my degree full time while working full time (wanted to get it over and done with). It meant going to uni 3 nights a week after work. And some weekends doing assignments and...

Self employed here, and wouldn't dream of having a boss again. I started the business in 2003, the same year I started investing. The plan is also to work on the business rather than in it, I'm halfway there. In 2013, my gross rental income exceeded my business profit for the first time. It...

Tile roof - replacing 110 tiles, replace 1x rusted valley, repoint all ridge cappings.

I have been given 2 other quotes (repair only, not re-roof). One quote was $2860 and the cheaper one at $1980. I sent the building inspector an email requesting that I be compensated for the cost of repairing the roof, because he completely overlooked its poor condition. I sent him the...

I hope he does move out on his chosen date... 2 Questions: 1. Can't you charge him a break lease fee? 2. I have an empty house (I think) in Central Coast if your 'keepers' can't wait til he moves out :D Cheers!

Delightful tenants (not!!) Good luck Wylie!

I want her out of the property, she's too much trouble. She sent me an email on Saturday saying that she will vacate on or before 20/11/13 (today). Then she called asking if she could stay longer. I said I would rather start afresh and reminded her that the longer she stays there, the more...

Let's see if she actually moves out today. I've got a feeling she may linger on for a little while longer. He's been incommunicado. She only picks up the phone or replies to SMS when she wants to. I don't know whether to advertise the property or not!

Thanks! And cheers! :D
