    Shoalwater WA

    I'd do it if I had money. Three large blocks near the water have already jumped massively in price though. Years ago we had three opportunity to buy in Rockingham & safety bay near the water, large blocks old houses for 300k, still wish we had have done it :-) Rent is Louise in the area but...

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    Anyway I am going to stop worrying about it as the worst that can happen is that we end up with an extremely negatively geared investment property that we can maybe holiday in in 30 years time. If the building is still standing. In all honesty if we are forced to stop I think I would sell...

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    My husband always goes to the body corp meetings and I had quite a good relationship with the maintenance man in the building although not sure how it is going now. Might be going there this weekend for a bit. The other people running short stays have been very secretive about it and do not do...

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    Yuck I can imagine :( Its not an easy situation, everyone has their own interests at the top of their priority lists. There must be a way to compromise. I was wondering if maybe I could give everyone in the 3 floors immediately surrounding my apartment my phone number and they could contact me...

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    And I am joking about the heavy metal enthusiast - the point I was trying to make is that they could have had much much worse and full time also.

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    Definitely not blaming the neighbors for me missing it in my DD, because I didn't! As I said we checked this all out beforehand, hence I am confused why I am receiving vague letters about it that aren't really giving me directions on what to do. Being as the strata manager decided to include the...

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    Don't get me wrong I understand where the neighbours are coming from but of course am defensive of my use of the property as this supports our investment. I AM selective with tenants, I turn away young people, no less than 3 night stays are allowable, There are probably 4 turnovers or less per...

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    Yes I had sent them a letter in response pretty much saying that and a few other things that maybe I shouldn't have said. I do provide my tenants with the rules for the complex, step by step instructions for literally EVERYTHING so I am not even sure that it is my tenants that they are having...

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    All they have said in the letter is that short stay rentals are "not encouraged" and I do not know how to take this, not encouraged sounds to me like 'we don't WANT you to do it, but we cannot force you to stop'

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    Our property is not being used for parties. I am more than happy to give my number out to the other residents so that they can call me if there is an issue with my tenants not following the complex rules, the only strata LAWS stated that there are no pets allowed on the premises and that visitor...

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    I'm in Perth, is it likely they will follow suit here? If so might be time for me to sell up as I would love to keep it for a holiday house but its too bloody expensive and the strata is too pricey compared with the amount of regular rent that we could get.

    Strata problem with my holiday rental

    Hi guys, I received this letter the other day in regards to our investment property that we have been renting out for short term rental: "It has come to the attention of the strata that your unit is being used for the purposes of short stay accommodation. The zoning for the building is...

    I'm ready to make an offer guys - how much??

    Haha I did suggest that to the agent actually! My house is pretty much like theirs except smaller and more modern! Yeah I know with the no pressure to sell for them thing, thats a bit of a crapper, as I have said in other posts the houses on this street usually take a very long time to sell...

    I'm ready to make an offer guys - how much??

    Vendors are selling to downsize as their kids have grown up, they purchased the house 10 years ago for 565k, there are no conditions of sale that I am aware of and house has been on the market for a month, has never had a home open and I do not believe there has been much interest as I have been...

    I'm ready to make an offer guys - how much??

    To be honest I think it is worth what they are asking for it given the comparable properties on the market in the area at the moment. I just think that it is going to take a long time to sell as in this area the higher priced houses seem to because you can get a nice home down here for half of...

    I'm ready to make an offer guys - how much??

    I just spoke to the RE and she asked me how much would we offer, I told her under 800 and she asked if she can speak to them first then to find out if it is worth putting that on paper, she didnt sound like the situation was entirely hopeless to me. Also I know that they have not found a house...

    I'm ready to make an offer guys - how much??

    Hi there, Sorry I phrased that wrong, I know what we can afford, but I have not asked what is the maximum that we can afford because I dont really want to push it to the limit. I know at this point that to buy this house we need to reduce our debt as we have three properties and I know that I...
