Hello Retailer Have just seen your posting. Yes have definately seen ads put in by agents and its the same no for the PM. No owner would go to all that trouble Also in todays paper was an article you are talking about. People taking ads from Realestate.com and putting them on Gumtree...

Rob shouldnt have to sell up because an agent puts in Tenants From Hell. He has had the property for ten years. Its time PM do the right thing and screen tenants better

Feel for this landlord "Rob" Rob has a property in a quiet street then a PM puts in a tenant from hell next door to his He was finally relieved this guy moves out after about 8 months. Many complaints about this TFH were made Rob's poor tenants had to put up with this person next door...

Think I have lost some people ! Because I cant name the agencies I was hoping someone would understand what I was getting at. I am aware of agents and have been told verbally by them they dont put ads for rental properties on Gumtree it is the owners doing it. I then asked why would an...

Bomb house is No 1 Clay Street. Believe guy owns more than Number 1. New Bunnings being built opposite but dont know when A few months ago explosives found on the fence surrounding the block of land. Believe there are currently two in Clay Street up for rental same agent

The Bomb House West ipswich has really put a damper on Ipswich. Its zoned Industrial and in flood affected area and the owner owns 20 properties in Ipswich. One particular agent manages a few in the street and put it this way the tenants arent always the best. Some agents...

An agency charges an owner $40 plus to have a rental listed on Realestate.com. Then an owner goes to all the trouble of putting it on Gumtree for free also Doesnt ad up. Why would an owner do the agents work ? Why doesnt the agency put it on Gumtree themselves ? They deny putting ads on...

The same ad for the rental property is on Realestate already so the agent via the landlord has already paid for the ad. So going to Gumtree hasnt saved the agent / landlord any money. They go to it because they cant find tenants. Too many houses available

When some Property Managers advertise on Gumtree the same house thats on realestate there can only be one reason Too many houses and not enough tenants. They have to resort to Gumtree to find tenants Then the PM find people who prob do not have good rental history

Just curious to see what others who have invested in Ipswich think about their purchases and how their properties are going. 10 years ago when we started investing it Ipswich I remember thinking it will be a different place in 10 years time. Now the ten years have passed there definately...

Always be careful when wanting to help a tenant out who wants to move in quickly. They may have an agenda you dont know about. Always rent it when its ready etc and if they are desperate to move in you dont know the reason. A PM wont always do the right checks

We heard about this tenant from hell who decided to burn off weeds and grass. He ended up making the fence catch on fire. The poor landlord next door had paid for the fence himself as the owner who had the Tenant From Hell wouldnt pay half for the fence

For those looking to employ a Property Manager in Ipswich there are ones to avoid of course. I can PM ones I have heard about etc. One PM in Ipswich actually put two lots of tenants from hell in a row. Once you could say was an accident but two Tenants from Hell in a row doesnt seem like...
