    Audiobooks/podcasts

    I listen to podcast while working and one of my favourite one is Everyday Property Investor with Karen (Kaz). It has been going for a while and still has interesting interviews. I loved to listen to the second host, but he has left and now it a bit different but still good. Hope that helps.

    First time selling IP - avoiding "second Chance"

    Oops, better get the yield changed ..oh the realestate agent knows it is rented under market value (should be $360, but can't change this until August) and it is unlikely that an investor will pay full asking price but still should not be advertised like this.Will get her to change it.

    unit complex for sale but not sure if i want to sell mine?

    Can I sell with Tenants leasing?
