I concur. I've kept the rent stable in one of my units, and the tenants have been there for 5 years.

It's like any scientific study -- there's data to support and data to deny.

In my youth I used to have a Kwaka....twas awesome. These days I stick to being a pillion and I still love it!

Ofcourse. How remiss of me.:o

Beg to differ...My Dad is a title of respect that I give him. He was (when he was alive), and still is "the hero of my dreams". I guess this is just another way of using a capital D, with dad. I do however, concur with your POV in general terms.

I phoned him yesterday, and they have dropped the idea of claiming the first week's rent. It took a bit of talking on my part, but they were nice.

Yes, they are cheap and were originally on the market over 10 years ago when first built for around $60K, so the CG has not been that great. The area can be a bit seedy, and I noticed the police have increased their presence there, due to the higher crime rate. There are also many housing...

Exactly what are they doing that is creating hell and being antisocial?

Linguistic Neglect I soooooooooooo love this term.:)

You got that right...now way will I be paying it, as the tenant approached them when they were looking at the unit.

I did. Thankyou. Just waiting for him to get back to me. Thanks Tizzy. Will do. I'll be sure and invite you all to the book launch.

Maybe all your positive thinking has paid off. Just got a call from the RE last night. They've got a tenant for my 8-month vacant unit. On the down side, he is the guy that rents another unit of mine in the same block.:eek: So now I have to find another tenant.

My peeves are: saying "aks" instead of "ask"...this is just poor education. using split infinitives. misusing "advice" and "advise"...there is a difference between the noun and the verb. using "was going to" instead of "went". starting a sentence with "but" or "and"....these are joining...

Gosh! That was when I was there. Do you remember the Saturday night dances in the corrogated iron shed? Everyone around for miles used to come. All the bushies would bring their dogs...there was always a dog fight.:p

Just the odd one or two......:mad:

Just wondering what people think about the prospects for Cairns in 2010. It has been a bit of a dismal year in 2009 in FNQ for IP's. Many businesses have closed and the renters have moved elsewhere for work. Not a good year for getting tenants. So those that had to --sold. Those that hung on...

I'm pretty sure it used to be a motel. Rubyvale is a quaint place...been there once years ago...fossiking for gemstones. It used to be a pretty rough town, surrounded by cattle properties. In and adjacent to the town, were hundreds of "sheds"...corrogated iron things with dirt floors, which...

Back to buying the worst house in the best street. Do a reno to improve value. Works for me.

All good points...honesty is the best policy...but that doesn't mean you have to justify your reasons for selling, to the tenant. There are a variety of old threads on this site which discuss how to deal with the tenant during a sale. Read up...you will be inspired.
