Thanks for the memories and best of luck with the new forum. Maybe Dazz will be Dazzarus and rise from the dead. I miss the tough love.

I've spent ten out of the last 15 years renting in Sydney and Melbourne and have decided that inspections during tenancy are a myth. I think LL's get lucky rather than have good PM's based on my experiences.

Who knew that so many somersoftians first IP was an ivory castle :rolleyes:

Walk In Walk Out - no extra to pay for stock etc
