Help at hand Beanie Girl, If this is a real issues, i am more than happy to pop around to the property and clear the drains for you. I am on holidays at the moment and more than happy to help a fellow Somersoft out. Just PM me the address, and that the tenants (if any) are aware that I will...

So, We have had one of our rentals with the same agency for several years with the same tenant. They have always been late with rental payment, but never breached. Fast forward several years and we have just been presented (this week) with a written letter informing us that the tenants have...

Greetings, I am looking at purchasing our first CIP and as I haven't been through the process before, I was just wondering what the average due diligence period and settlement period people factor into the contract? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Csc2, I am all for humor, but after pulling a few dead people out as a Police Officer today, I dont have much to respond. I am just offering a space for brisbane residents (somersoft) to safely store their animals. Maybe in a few weeks I can relate to light hearted humor.

Offer for Assistance Hi Guys, I have been on the forums for quite a bit, and many of you helped me with advice when I first decided to establish a gutter cleaning business in South East Queensland a little while ago. We have grown substantially since then, I would just like to offer our...

Can Take Pets Greetings, We have a large block in Alderley (4km from CBD on a hill) and we are able to take any Somersoft members pets if required. Please Pm me if you need any assistance.

Thank You Thanks, I just want to take the opportunity to thank everyone for all of their support and assistance a while ago when I first proposed my gutter cleaning business in Brisbane. Getting everyone's feedback was really invaluable in the way I marketed my business, from suggestions of...

Pa1nter and Rumpledelf, thanks for the suggestion on marketing. Its quite funny as my wife and I were only talking about fridge magnets the other day. With two little kids they are invaluable for holding up drawings and paintings on the fridge, but also they are a quick reference if we need to...

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to reply! Its great to get a mix of realistic feedback for my business idea. Chrispy, as Yadreamin has already mentioned, I would be holding on to your gutter cleaners with both arms. After tax, PLI, Workcover, maintenance and petrol $60 per hour...

Thank you so much! You guys are great and I knew I would get great feedback just through a little post. I have no idea how to quote the posts, but I would like to talk through some of the issues raised (which were great). "I think I'd appreciate if you also offered to install the latest...

Hi, Although I don't post too often, I do and have been reading the forums regularly for a number of years and have a number of IP's (Rolf can attest to that). I am considering commencing a new business, and would greatly appreciate any feedback. The business is cleaning gutters, I know...

Marg, Having a strong legal background, I would love nothing more than you to provide some case law in relation to your assertion that landlords have been prosecuted in relation to non working smoke alarms (both criminally or civilly)! Even in a civil case the evidential burden of proof to...

Hi Luvvit, Last year we had a concrete pool removed from our old PPOR in Melbourne. Unbeknown to us, this thing was built back in the 60-70's and was the exact replica of a military holocaust bunker. After several quotes we got demolition guys in and they had to bring in big equipment to get...

I suppose that we have a different management style with respect to investment properties. We self manage all of our properties including interstate and we provide mobile phone numbers, email addresses, personal address details and our home phone number to all our tenants. We know each tenant...

"I have a newly renovated unit ready to rent out to a mate. He and I both agree that it's important to keep everything above board, but without a cash donation to a Real Estate Agent----No offence to Agents----" Hi Jonny, I am a huge fan of self managing IP's as we have several ourselves...

Martin, Thanks for the heads up! I have spent most of the day looking into this on the ACT Fair Trading Website (which lacks any real detail) and asking a number of people in Canberra and it appears that I have come to the wrong conclusion, regarding my response to Tracey. :confused: What...

Thanks Tracey! Your advice is greatly appreciated. After spending the day doing DD it has come to light that the agent is attempting to do some creative (dodgey) selling :eek:. The REA has stated that the Vendors are happy with the letter of offer and the conditions which were set, however he...

Hi Everyone! I have been floating around these forums for quite a while taking in the vast amount of experience and attempting to apply this knowledge to my own property investment philosophy and practices. I currently own four IP's in both Brisbane and Melbourne and I am just about to...
