    Another tenant from hell

    How is it going? How are the kids? How is the owner now? Just concerned old (young) me ... Somehow the world isn't a crazy place - but sometimes the hill is a bit steeper to climb. It depends on your outlook. 'It is not what happens that matters, but how you interpret what happens that...

    New tenants want work done on garden.

    I have seen tenants destroy, or replenish gardens. I agree to the truth that it is as they find it. But while you encourage tenants to take an interest in the garden - splashing money about is not the answer. Somehow the answer lies in that wishy/washy land of being a 'good manager', where...

    When do you plan on retiring?

    Well once again, Ive been in a hyper vortex of family hood and 'other dramas'. So is life just a path to travel along and not a destinaton? And is being rich just ... Wanting to spend less than you can earn ... and maybe also ... Earning from capital (and managing that capital successfully)...

    Registration of Business Name for trusts ?

    A trust manages the affairs on behalf of the BENIFICIARIES. It is not a legal entity like a company. It is just a 'holding entity' on behalf of the benificiaries, and is contolled by the TRUSTEES, for the benifit of the benificiaries. sticky JAM

    i prefer rent paid monthly, not weekly

    I think you will probably find that paying weekly is how your tenant wants, or needs to pay. You will need to contact your PM. I also HATE people paying weekly. But in reality often the best you can usually do with weekly payers is to encourage them to pay at least fortnightly, or at the...

    GST inclusive or exclusive

    Ta for that - thats simple enough for my simple brain. Now residential property is not meant to include GST if it is not a 'new' property. Is that correct? JAM

    Well done SIM, or whoever updated this site

    It's praise I'm sure that has been hard won - many hours of work and much frustration at times. So this is designed/maintained by just one person? You continue to have my praise. However currently I am often getting 'THe page cannot be displayed' messages when I click on different forums...

    Is it legal to letterbox advertise yourself?

    Don't let the conveyancing things worry you - getting the negotiations right is more important - however you do need your contract note ready to sign as soon as an agreement is made. As NO DEAL is made until it is in writting. I can't but recomend the 'self help' style books on conveyancing...

    Well done SIM, or whoever updated this site

    Well I've been in one of those first term time warps - getting over the school holidays, catching up on all those business tasks not done, while new ones pile in, and keeping up with the new order of school for all the kids. I pop back here and it's all changed! Where do you people find...
