    Swapping Retirement Village Unit

    We are not self managing, the units are managed by an onsite manager who we thought we be taking care of the advertising, took us a few months to realize that isn't in his contract, so we have done some advertising ourselves with not much interest. It has been on the market since May, with a bit...

It was CF+ when it had a tenant but we haven't been able to get another tenant despite advertising, it has been vacant for 10 months. We cannot afford to hold the property any longer with no tenant as we are on a low wage. We...

    best landlord insurance?

    true for terri scheer though they don't charge excess on all claims, loss of rent = no excess (except for QLD), legal costs no excess, malicious damage $250 excess. So not really two excesses if you have loss of rent and malicious damage. Hope that helps. Collie

    Selling a lemon

    it is a strata title unit, so we have no exit fees. We are prepared to take 5k less than what we paid for it, which would place our unit at $20k less than the developer is still trying to sell (he has added a margin as he has a 12mth rental guarantee in place) just having a bit of a panic...

    Company Title Unit

    this unit is in a major regional town in NSW it is listed at $100k which is 20k more than what it was listed at in Jan 2008. I see this as a potential good deal in that i believe strata titling the unit will create quick equity gain and then we could refinance again to 80 - 90% LVR of the new...
