They meant borrowing 100-105% Cheers

Great thread, thanks!

Quoted as it's the first sensible comment re his pay. It's all about hourly rate... 29 days of 12 hour shifts. Hi Fraze, This may be shot down by the gurus. If I was in your position I'd purchase a property in the golden triangle or Applecross/Ardross/SP etc. One that eventually when you...

I'm surprised so many are saying to quit it! When the tenants are paying its CF neutral which sounds good. Sometimes we have bumps in the road and five or six months of no rent is certainly a bump in the road. I would suggest there are valuable lessons to be learnt from these tough times and...

Perth in the last 5 years has moved forward hugely. Food equal to anything around Aus and heaps of music/arts and things to do. Major rezoning, small bar licenses etc

Thanks for the reply Joe. There are 14 townhouses in the complex. Would you still recommend this company for this number? If so, do you have a contact person? Or I'll just go through the main office. The communication is obviously good? Happy with them and no issues? Thanks again for the reply

Do it. What a great thing to do for someone. As long as the arrangement is clearly laid out in writing it will be an awesome help to your friend and something she would always appreciate. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies. I should clarify we are still in the house and have 18 days before we move out. The agent told us if they rented it at 520 we would be able to stop paying on the move out date but if they had to lower it back to 500 (which they have) we would be liable for the rent...

Hi all, I've been lurking a while now absorbing heaps of great info in all the threads. Some great stuff! A question for you. I'm currently breaking a lease with eight months to go and they've advertised the rent at 520pw (we currently pay 500pw) had a bit of interest but no applications...
