Hi all who are experienced landlords/PMs, Now my tenants have a list of things for me to fix up, but there are a few particular items I'm not sure if I should fix them all or not and how to minimise my spending. Both front screen doors either does not lock properly or does not even close...

Just confirmed with them that they had never signed any document with their broker. So does he have the right to charge them still? Good question but not sure why it took so long and they had been asked for their payslips for multiple times too, which makes me worry about their credit file.

totally agreed with you, Rolf. I've already sent them the link to apply for their credit file to see where they are up to, cuz there might be hope still...

Thanks for some quick responses! It is reasonable if it is mentioned prior commencing any work, totally agreed. I'll have to double check with my friends in this case if they had signed any paperwork regarding such agreement. To my understanding, their other friend was shocked to receive a...

Hi all, I wonder if that's possible for a broker to charge for a service fee if his clients decided not to go with his service anymore after 6-9 months of helping his clients to get a loan without success? I've never heard of this but my friends are concerned. My concern is this broker...

yeap, RumpledElf! :D Just another cheap one.. Jamie: just curious, I don't think I've seen any broker here from Adelaide so far or any recommended Adelaide one... also maybe more convenient.. We've got very knowledgeable and helpful brokers in this forum, just not sure if location will be...

Dear all, Just wondering if there is anyone who is a broker from Adelaide in this forum? Thanks, Theo

not sure if you've ended up settled or not yet or it's too late to post. I had similar experience like you but ended up going to another broker who could get me finance within the settlement date and not losing any deposit in this case. I hope you've found your solution. Good luck!

Initially I thought centrelink was asking for gross income to be assessed but in fact they are asking for taxable income, ie gross income minus any deductible. With the investment loss, that will also include on-paper loss. Like rugrat said, gross income will do the job, because it's gross...

Thanks Jaycee and Kathryn! There're so much to learn about getting an IP, becoming a LL and even not self-managed! At least I find out early enough before my tenant/PM found me a nuisance! :p This forum is really great, so easy to get many honest and helpful info/feedback!

It's mentioned on monday's news: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-07-11/carbon-tax-compo-aimed-at-most-needy-gillard/2789814

Thank you all for all valuable feedback! Deeply appreciated! Sez, that's right, only as soon as there's any update I'll need the update! As it's only the beginning - recruiting tenants, I guess when there's news it's good news, ie I might have a tenant! And certainly, after I have tenants in...

What's OP? I require update, as long as the PM keep me informed I wont need to call them. :) Thanks, Goofy! :) Thank you Goofy, I really appreciate your advice. I don't find it offensive at all! Thing is, I didn't know who will be a good PM in my area so I simply used the same agent...

That's for pointing that out. I guess it makes it clearer that it's me who wasnt sure how good my PM is if I have a good PM. Yup, I must admit that the feeling of buying property is really great and now I can't really wait to get the second one as the market's price is really good atm. But...
