    Rewarding good tenants

    Reality for the 99% will be similar to the experience we had when green where we did as some suggest and all that happened was the tenant and the PM at the time saw us as a soft touch not to be taken seriously , fools with their money soon to be parted or "mates", where rent could be late or...

    Rewarding good tenants

    It does when providing a reward for no reason becomes a "given" every year True. Does the tenant ever buy the agent or owner a gift for meeting their requirements as per the tenancy agreement? Nah, didn't think. :(

    Rewarding good tenants

    My thoughts exactly, its not as if the tenant has done anything special that requires any sort of reward. This sort of entitlement/gifting/tipping mentality is a bad thing to instill in anyone imho.

    Unsure on QLD Granny-flatting rules

    Various sites I have looked at say you can if it is to a family member but what if we look at it a different way, listed below. 1) What if I rent out my granny flat now as if I was renting out a bedroom of the house? BCC wont let you treat it as a separate residence with extra power and water...

    Can you powder-coat over anodising?

    Actually you can powder-coat over anodising, I have seen marine parts done this way because aluminium gets corrosion which flakes off the powder coating but if anodised first it stops this and apparently makes a good base for the powder coating process. Not sure how it is done or if it can be...

    Another over entitled mentality Gen Y

    So? I did things like this through the 80's 90's and 2000's, nothing to do with having to or minimising loss or losing a job. Its just what people do when a job needs doing.

    You "Only" Need $1m to retire comfortably.

    But the reality is that those that bought 10 plus years ago are getting big ROI, you said so yourself. You must think people are pretty silly if you think that. I've been sourcing and buying the same deals as I did back then, something that leaves me not to much out of pocket in the short term...

    You "Only" Need $1m to retire comfortably.

    Assuming they bought their property today. If they bought a million in property 10 or more years ago they'll be getting a lot better than 3-4%
