My way to speed up PM'S Give 3 or 4 local PM'S a key , tell them first to find tenant gets the job. They often don't like it but it works for me and keeps them honest..... Just my 2 cents Rob

If the hot water system is not corroded beyond repair a sparkie can just replace the thermostat and element if required, much cheaper . I am a sparkie and the whole job will take 20 min, and parts be under $100 total depending on brand and availability. Most older HWS have good copper cores and...

Yeah... Don't...

HI Has anyone used Aspire as the NRAS consortium ? Looking for my next property and the best preforming places I can find are NRAS... Still getting a case together to get out of my last NRAS consortium and keep it in NRAS and now considering another... A man needs a good blow to the head...

HI I have an NRAS property and have the worst consortium possible. Very expensive, no feedback, no care, and no way out with out costing me money. Avoid head lease if you can. There are some good ones out there, just not mine. I still like NRAS but Caveat emptor

HI I have been looking long and hard about buying my next IP in Springfield Lakes area. I asked here a few weeks back and was made VERY aware by a few people that it's not going to be a good growth area for some time due to the large amount of land still to be developed. But the area does have...

Thanks to all for the reply's. I am not new to this and have had the joy of a trashed house. Was a good thing in the end as I got it nicely repaired better then new and was able to sell it for a nice profit. Good stuff land lords insurance ! My thoughts on SFL were due to all that is...

Darra? Maybe Closer to the city, Good access to main roads , rails , Lower entry prices, rent a little cheap too. but another area I would not enter at night. Darra, Inala, Goodna etc all have their own reasons to make good areas for an IP. But not an area I think people would really want...

I'd be interested in finding another just like it !!!!!!!

H The area has a hospital being built and specialist medical centres, uni and more education centres being built, good private and public schools. Several high rise office blocks for the business centre ( most still empty and more being built) . Getting a few more trendy food areas and parks...

HI I lived near Browns Plains for a bit. Some nice areas but some areas I would not go to after dark. High crime and unemployment. For that money it most be one of the best houses in the area. I do not think you will get much capital gains for a good while due to the area's image. Not a place I...

Thanks T33 for the advice There is a huge amount of new land being developed and heaps being built. The positive is all the new blocks are very small and many town houses. Some blocks are <280m !!!!! The bigger blocks closer to the lakes and main centre have been slowly going up in price I...

HI I am looking at this area because I believe it's close to making a big move, seems to have high rental demand and it's close to home for me. I live 10 min away and work in this area daily. I have always had property close to me for peace of mind. This is important to me. In saying that I...

HI I am looking at adding a property to my small collection at Springfield Lakes Qld 4300. Does anyone have anything there or have a feel for the area. It's got a lot going for in in my eyes. Railway opens this year, schools uni hospital ( being built) major shopping centre and more to come...

HI I know of another person very unhappy with the service, my mortgage broker who is also the guy that helped many get loans when banks knew nothing of NRAS knows quite a few people also. If we can get our selves sorted we have a chance. I have spoke with someone from the NRAS gov phone info...

HI I'd be keen to hear of others going though the same issues with the same mob. Maybe on mass we have a chance. I am always getting told by the manager I am the only one complaining....

Hi I was unaware at the time there were other company's at the time. I am very aware now that there are. I just found the house in the area I wanted the sums looked good. My concern is the lack of management. I go to a lot of properties in my every day job and see several trashed rentals a...

So people have heard of them......
