We are wondering the same thing - our IP is in Raceview Qld & if we sold now would get somewhere between 0 - 30k (before selling costs) more than we paid 4 years ago. This wouldn't cover our holding costs & we would probably come out of it worse off.

Our zoning is RL02 - Residential Low Density (Sub Area 2) Block where shops are going is - LC01 - Local Retail & Commercial (Major Nhood Centres)

Our IP is on a semi major street with a local shopping center 40 meters down the road on the opposite side of street. Another group of shops (servo, pizza cant recall what else) are being built on the next block down on our side of the street. There are two houses and a side street between out...

Our PM has been great with our Raceview IP - regular inspections, happy for us to join them for the inspection, accurate condition reports too. Good communicator but sometimes needs a reminder of little things so no perfect but then who is. PM if you want a name. Cheers

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. In response, I have no intention of personally doing any repairs like this on any property I own - IP nor PPOR as it is not within my expertise nor skill levels to do so. I dont mind paying for someone else who has the skills to do the job - as long as what...

Hi Have just had a quote from the handyman (PM's husband) to replace 3m of quad guttering (not colorbond) & connect a down pipe for $345. Considering a quick search gave me quad guttering at just under $9 meter am wondering if $300+ is ok for labour? Anyone know anyone in Ipswich who can do...

PM sent - hope it helps.

Yep - our IP insurance went from $676 to $906 with AAMI building policy & tenant protection. Lokking around on the net now & not coming up with much less thatn that so far.

How does it work with bonds & repairs? Our original tenants have now moved out - they broke their lease, left some rubbish behind & didnt do much housework for awhile. Nothing major so no stress. The PM has claimed their bond (apparently) to cover cleaning etc but we have also noticed repairs...

You will probably find it is considered to be a breach of the Privacy Act to disclose the results - unless it becomes a matter of public record - I guess by court action or similar. I worked in an organisation where allegations were made from the public & when investigated (or not) we were not...

Having seen the amount of info that is available on individuals I don't think there are many secrets left at all these days. So much info is collected in so many ways - pretty much everything comes with a "we may share this under the Privacy Act" section. Try saying you dont agree & dont want...

I thought this info showed up as credit defaults on the Baycorp/CRA reports already? Cheers Stella

We have a cat & a dog & were approved for 3 places last week after selling our PPOR - one was a brand new house. All the rents were within $10pw of each other & they were the same price as places that stipulated no pets. We knocked back the new place & went for one $10 week cheaper 400m up the...

Anyone? Fencers seem too busy around Ipswich - cant get anyone to quote!

Think I am glad I just culled the current agents pics & didnt use any of the old agents pics! Cheers Stella

Just to mix it up a bit more then.....the person who took the photos belonged to the same agency as the agent who listed the property. This guy was another agent who happens totake decent pics so they use him for all their listings. We didnt pay anything for the pics nor advertising - either...

Because our PPOR has been for sale for awhile, we are having the agent update the ad on re.com & I have been looking at the current photos - some are ok some could be better. Saved on my computer I also have photos taken by our previous agent. I wouldn't mind mixing a few of the old photos...

I do these through Pureprofile too - seem to average around $50 every 4-6 weeks lately & as Buddybee says its not time consuming & they dont require much more effort than clicking a few boxes. I tend to do them in between looking at other sites so its no big deal really. The number of surveys...

Sounds like we can look forward to seeing your neighbor & his yard on a Today Tonight type show soon! I feel sorry for you - knowing exactly what you are going thru!

I know that feeling - we are close to M1 & train line. Depending on wind direction depends how noisy it is. After 7 yrs here sometimes we notice the noise sometimes we don't. Neighbors (in the only IP in the street which happens to be 2 doors away) with a crappy caravan in their front 'jungle'...
