Bay Islands - in Moreton Bay

Thanks Boods...exactly what I was thinking. The whole things seems wrong - from the automatic acceptance to the signing away of their obligations. Maybe its a trade pactices thing???

Unfortunately the choice is limited in the area we are and the agents are all as bad as each other. There really is no better alternative. All I can do is manage the agent to insure he is doing the right thing.

I received an interesting letter from my Property Agent yesterday. The letter stated that all new landlords managed by them need to have Barclay MiS Protect & Collect insurance which would cost $44 per annum. They said as an existing landlord I had the option of not subscribing however I...

I purchased a Russell Hobbs one from the local Harvey Norman. I think from memory it was around the $100 mark. It's perfect for my needs. I wouldn't buy a really expensive one unless you had seriously gotten into the habit of juicing every day. But in reality, the one I have is excellent and...

And the thing is that is it so much harder to control stuff you never see. Back in my parents day my father would come home at the end of the week and give his pay packet to mum who would divy it up in the jam jars...bit for electricity, bit for rates, bit for mortgage....Now the money is...

Absolutely. You have an expensive capital item here. You should not just hand it over to an agent and say OK mate it all yours now. You do need to manage the agent to ensure that they understand what you expect and ensure that they are doing what you pay them for. Agents do give you a...

I regularly see ones from agents that show the camera flash in the bathroom mirror or shower glass or worse still - the reflection of them taking the photo. And could you at least get your finger out of the way. :eek: Do these people not understand the word edit. After all its all digital...

Bugger Bribie... you already got a bridge.. Put one on accross to the Bay islands - Russell and Macleay - that's what I say. Then you'll see some capital gains happening!

How bout you put a solar panel on the roof and claim the rebate off the government that way your electricity is free and then you put in airconditioning. I know here in Queensland with the rebate you can put solar panels on your roof for about $1400 (rebates about $8000). Don't know about...

Also if you want a reserve price and you don't want to pay reserve fee - get a friend to put a dummy bid in on your behalf. Not allowed but it works. If they end up winning you just go to dispute resolution and agree to cancel the sale for a valid reason "bid by mistake, thought the size was...

Also a great tip with pictures. If you cut and paste the pictures onto a word document and then print the pictures as a image file TIF or JPEG you can in effect get multiple pictures for the price of one. EBAY will charge you for multiple pictures. Also EBAY will try to get you to list in as...

Absolutely - you should know what the market value is anyway. If you are researching your properties correctly you should know that the suburb prices generally are and what the surrounding prices in the street are. What the seller wants is more often a wish list anyway. I do hate slimebag...

From what I am reading from him and after attending his last seminar in Brisbane (could have supplied lunch by the way! - geeze!) the message seems to be that in order to make money you have to find ways to produce your profit i.e. reno's, conversions etc. The assumption that you just buy a...

I've been meaning to organise the insulation for ages but haven't got around to it. I've off to Bunnings this week before they run out of stock!

This stimulas my not work for the economy but its working for me. My IP is now cashflow positive and I'm closer now to the second. I should be able to swing this within the next 6 months. I was going to put insulation in my house anyway just haven't got around to it but I guess if Mr...

I've been wondering about these mining towns lately. We some of these jobs being put on hold I wonder how much the market is softening. These towns will undoubtedly come back in the long term.

So does Sam Kekovich in his latest Australia Day eat more Lamb ad. So must be true!

Highlight the column. Copy, paste special and select values and enter. Effectively you are pasting the values over the top of the existing formulas

Thanks all for your advise. Knowing the selection of agents available I think I might have to give it a go. Can anyone tell me the appropriate websites for downloading forms and for checking tenants histories.
