I probably already know the answer to this question, however just wanted to double check. Is it a good idea to buy a house whose backyard is adjacent the oval of a public high school? I'm thinking between all the lunchtime bells, rowdy teenagers and footballs being kicked around, it may be a...

I wouldn't recommend Pure Rentals, barely competent at collecting the rent let alone when something goes wrong. They are cheap for a reason, would be better to spend extra money and get a real property manager.

{edit - thread split from this one: asset split in divorce} What usually causes two people who are so "in love" at one point in their relationship to then go to the other extreme where they hate each other so much? I've never understood how this can happen. Isn't marriage a thing where you...

I'm not sure how you could interpret my post regarding Binvested as anything but negative (for those wanting to be clients at least).

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that there is a definite conflict of interest with Binvested's 'service'. I guess if he is able to find a property that ticks all the boxes (BMV, good cash flow, solid fundamentals), why would he not purchase the property for himself? From personal...

Sorry guys, I got a bit anxious again this morning and tried to contact PureRentals. The property managers were unavailable as usual but Russell states that he will call me back so I will keep you guys updated

So in conclusion then what should I be doing to manage this situation? I've got settlement coming up very soon and not sure what is happening with the keys and also not sure what is happening with the tenants. I've tried calling them and they don't answer, I email them but they are not replying...

Yeah I think I'm screwed here. Very expensive mistake, hopefully not one I'll make again.

Yeah, I guess that's why it's often difficult to make a decision besides basing it on the terms and conditions of what's covered and what isn't without experiences in claiming. I have decided to go with OnePath with properties in the 200k range. Their yearly premium is in the 800 dollar range...

Yes there is something in there regarding termination, however the length of notice required is surprisingly short (single digits) and much less than the legally required number of days than in QLD, so I'm not sure what to make of that whether that's enforceable or I would still have to wait the...

It doesn't have anything their regarding communication

Well if that's the case maybe I should just wait out this initial period until settlement finishes and the tenant moves in. I did consider previously that it was their deliberate strategy to avoid me to tell me to go away. I just didn't think it would actually be happening. With the lease...

Yeah, I was debating whether to put it on the forum, but I feel like I just need some advice on how to deal with the situation because I don't have anyone else to ask and it is stressing me out a bit. The problem with emailing them is that they don't always reply in a timely manner, only...

Yeah the tenants will be moving in 2 weeks after settlement. But I just wanted to ask them about a response regarding my offer to the tenants and also how we are going to communicate with each other moving forward because this property will be a long term hold so I need to have someone who I can...

Yeah, it's an agency that was recommended by the forum and post here a little bit as well. I'm not sure how they get the positive feedback, but I guess the principal answers his phone quite quickly, but the business development manager and mainly senior property manager are virtually...
