This tenant is going to be his own worst enemy methinks.. I'll let everyone know how it goes with the TV..

Hi Dazz, Appreciate your input. (made me think, hurt my head!) I've had a few tenants over the years, and I think I've been pretty good with them. Respected their privacy and attended to all their maintenance issues promptly. Hey, tentants are people too, I used be one, a tenant that is...

yes, good point! :p I might have to start up a business renting Plasma's to renters, keep one for myself.......... hmmmm

Hi All, Thanks for the replies and feedback. LilSkater and Jaycee, my apologies my original post wasnt clear enough. (I'll reedit and fix it up) My PM told the Tenant to make a claim on their own Contents insurance. It became pretty obvious that he doesnt have any.. update...

Hi All, I was hoping that someone could offer me their views, experience, insight and opinions on a tenant issue that I am having a the moment. Here goes.... two weeks ago I get a phone call from my property manager stating that 1. Tenant is willing to sign an other lease for 6...

Hi Ben, I would NOT recommend Wilson & Newey at Tingalpa, before Howard retired they provided me much better value for money. I used to go to Terry Hassard on Wynnum North, but he was a bit "rush in - rush-out" for me. I spoke to Vagg Taxation (Wynnum) and asked if I could see an...

Home Owner/ live in/ Owner Occ - all the same thing One rate is if you live in it or owner occupy it irrespective of it being your first home or not.

O/Occ = "To live in" The Owner Occupier rate I am referring to is the "To Live in" rate found on most Stamp Duty Calculators http://www.yourlocalrealestate.com.au/stampduty.htm

API & Residex Hi, I'm a subscriber to API and find this a very good general source of information. Take a look at Residex , they have all types of reports for differing purposes, some high level some very detailed. Cost ya money, but hey you gotta spedn money to make money...

Ip Divert that extra money into buying an IP. now! I was almost paying double on my mortgage repayments for a long time, after about 5 years I thought to myself " hey this extra $1000 a month would go along way towards paying off another rental" so I finally did it this year. I stopped...

Asbestos Here is something most people don't know. There are a lot of water pipes servicing Qld that are made out of asbestos!, yes that's right not only might you be breathing it, you could also be drinking it. An experiment performed at the Brisbane Airport Terminal revealed the following...

I dont believe you need to spend between $400 and $500K to get a blue chip property in Brisbane. There is plenty in the Bayside area around the $350K to $400K (SUD's) renting for around $300 to $360. Capital gains in bayside over last ten years has been around 11% (check out API). As far as a...

Yeah, recommend it even before buying anything (I did). It lets you explore and feel "comfortable" with a variety of scenarios. The price is negligible compared to the long term gains to be made from IP's Bite the bullet man!!! "you have to spend money to make money" - Rich dad Poor dad...

I went to the Reno Kings Seminar in May last year and they recommended installing 25mm white plastic venetians. They are cheap (apparently, I havent priced them). They said that they are good for keeping light out for the tenants (fully closed) and excellent in showing off the house when empty...

I don't think your tenant is being unreasonable. As some of the previous posts have suggested, not everyone knows how to clean an air con unit or replace glass.. I have 2IP's , I work on the principle that so long as my tenants are paying their rent that I will I attempt to meet all reasonable...
