And I just want to add, when I joined up in 2008 I got a lot of support and encouragement and reading all the inspiring stories/experiences really made me believe that this was possible for me. If it were 2008 now and you'd have told me that I'd own 3 properties and have x amount in my bank...

That's cool! :).

Woooohoooo, he's locked in. Signed up for 12 months :). Huge relief to have secured someone. Phew! :D

Lol I only just saw this now :D

Haha, over the years, I've made 250 new threads :D

Is it too late!? Maybe there is still a way to keep somersoft alive! SS syndicate perhaps?

Ditto, thanks to the Somers.... Much appreciated! Yes thanks to Sim too, and those who give their free time like the moderators. Wow I can't believe it, no more SS!! But we will all find and make ourselves at home at the new site. :D I'm glad I'm on holidays right now so I'll have time to go...

Good news! I have another application. 21 year old on $75,000 pa. Was a student & has been working for 6 months. Was living with his parents before. Good character and work references. Because of Perths rental market I ended up having to drop it some more. I did say in the ad happy to...

I agree... Maybe it was for the best that it didn't work out :)

I lost them. They negotiated with their current landlord a drop in rent. Oh well you win some, you lose some. Hopefully someone will sign up soon.

Yey I signed someone up What a relief. Good references. I would have liked it if she was earning a bit more but I can't be picky in this market. Im sure it will work out fine :)

I forgot to add, mine was a break lease too so the tenant has to keep paying until June 30 if I don't manage to secure someone before then. I'm confident I'll attract someone. I have it priced right now. I've met the market.

I'm offering a weeks free rent for my studio in highgate. Ive had to drop the rent down from $290 to $270 pw from when I first advertised it about 5 weeks ago. A few years ago I was getting $340. Oh well, $270 pw will cover the mortgage. Mortgage is around $190 pw. So all is good

Well I hope they go down or even stay the same for a good while to come yet! I'm only paying a ppor mortgage of $750 per month at current IR :D and I'm able to save $1000 per month on my $61 k salary. If I tried harder and didn't eat out as much I'd be able to save even more. It's a...
