Property Managers.
Hi vyvyen,
There are as with all trades or professions good and bad.
I am a PM myself. But I am the licensee and have only a small rent roll.
Why are owners using PMs? Because they are too busy, don't know the rules etc.
To get rid of your PM you must have a good...
I would not touch it with a barge pole.
Recently I read an article that you can buy a house, I think it was in Detroit, for $1.00.
Try to get for 50 cents!!!:p
Hi mark213,
Just tell your property manager to change the back up battery around every 1st of April during the routine inspection and charge you say $10 for the battery.
Alternatively employ me as your property manager here in Perth,WA if your property is in the metro area. I am a licensed R/E...
Ok evand,
Below 50v is extra low voltage. No licence required. Just because some people can complete a circuit does not make them electricians. Almost every week I see some crappy and illegal work carried out by "experts". Often this work is very dangerous. Like supply to a garden shed buried...

As a licensed electrical contractor and r/e agent in WA, I let you know that it is definitely against the law to perform any electrical work. The exception is low voltage installation.
Any electrician who signs off work not performed by him/her is a fool. Yes the client may dig the trench but I...
if the price is right!
I would not buy next to a service station, nor a school, well below the road level or at a t-junction etc. unless it's a screaming bargain. Resale value is terrible.:eek:
It all depends what the lease agreement says. If the owner agreed to maintain the lawn (best way, just reflect the cost in rental) then it has to be done.
If you let a property with a build-in dishwasher or anything, the owner has to maintain it. Tenants must take care but owners must repair...
As the saying goes...lousy property attracts lousy tenants.
I dislike owners who act as if they do tenants a favour by letting their property to them.
Would you like to live without fly screens?:confused:
