Good luck, I was getting 455 a week for a newly renovated 3 bedroom house. The tenant left and i had to drop it down to 380 before anyone was interested. As soon as i had dropped it down i had numerous applications.

My new HSBC visa debit card has one of those RFID things in it, you can't use the card online thou as all internet transactions are blocked.

It was a yearly inspection of an existing IP. Thank you for the replys guys :-)

I do a lot of traveling with work and when i am away from home i get payed a traveling allowance, meal allowance, incidentals and refunded the cost of the accommodation. Obviously you can claim the cost of the accommodation when inspecting an IP. The ATO website isn't very helpful when it...

Well the market in Canberra is heating up, i have been sitting back and watching for the last 12 months and i have noticed that a lot of those houses that go under offer within a day or two of appearing on all homes, reappear a few weeks later, I just bought one of them :-) I am glad i have...

Thanks for the posts and PMs, it would appear that there are lot of slack solicitors in the area. I am going to give Tony Redfern a go, $685 + disbursements

Update The PM & tenant went to mediation with the Qld RTA, tenant went in fighting but backed down when the before and after photos and inspection report were produced. The tenants are now renting another property. As a condition of receiving the full amount of bond the RE had to agree that...

Update The RE has agreed to refund some of there management fees. Quotes have been obtained to restablish the garden, they come to more than the bond amount. Forms to claim the full amount of bond have been lodged. A letter with before and after photos has been sent to the Tenant with the...

Most wouldn't cut it for me, I would check to see if those blocks are above the water line during a king tide, i looked at Russell Island when i was living in Brisbane but decide to stay away.

Cane toads are everywhere garden or not. Thanks for the advice so far guys!!!!!!

Scott is on the money, it was our PPOR that became an IP. The PM still hasn't got the balls to talk to me. One of the office girls sent an email say they have held the bond and will be employing a landscaper to re-establish the garden. I doubt the bond money will even come close to the cost of...

Called up the real estate agent about a month ago to let them know that we would be inspecting the property. This tenant was the only tenant we had in the place since we moved out and had been there for 3 years. The tenant gave notice as soon as they found out we were coming. Got the pictures...

My IP in Brisbane has a small in ground saltwater pool, tenant pays for salt and chemicals not that it takes much. No complaints so far & have had the same tenant for 3 years.
