    Are you still buying IP's?

    Marriage in Trouble

    You know, I think you are right. The kids are always busy nowadays & I find I have to continually entertain the "big kid", when the things that he wants to do, I find boring.

    We had a sad day

    You are a kind & caring soul. I would have done the same. I am sure he knew that he was with loving people, which made his last days much brighter.

    Marriage in Trouble

    Well, yeah, it could. If he has no idea that I am feeling this way, then the last thing I would want is to suggest a Councillor. Besides, I really don't want someone like that inside my head. Don't mind talking about it here as I don't know anyone personally & he doesn't come here.

    Marriage in Trouble

    I think this is what I need. Just some time to myself, to get myself together. I do still love him, but it is not right & I find myself being belittled too frequently. I also get the feeling that he feels he could do better, by some of the backhanded comments he makes every so often. I...

    the unbelievable gall of some ex-tenants

    Hope you do well in the next round with the judge. I really HATE bad tenants. They certainly get away with too much.

    Marriage in Trouble

    I've been married for nearly 20 years, & have 2 teenagers. I was reading the thread about Simon & his marriage break-up & in particular one post where he mentioned that he was actually much happier as it felt like a brooding teen had left home, & I came to realise that I could relate to that...

    Sounds good, only these props are around 6 hrs drive away. It's not just me that is affected. Thing is, you don't realise that he is the only one when you buy into the area. You use his bad report as a bargaining tool to get a discount & now the new person will want an even greater discount.

    You've got it wrong. It is 3 out of the 15 that are not paying & one is going to eventually get evicted once the tribunal pull their head in. The other 2 are long term, but each Christmas give me the tom tits becasue they "can't afford the rent", then play catch up for 6 months. I do have a...

    Hi Kathryn The stupid PM's part has to do with the area. There are only so many PM's in this Regional area. Mine is the best of a bad bunch. She is pretty useless, but I have already tried all the rest & so she will have to do. The tradies are part of the maintenance problems. There is a...

    Xmas presents for tenants.

    Give the tenants a present? YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!!! :eek: Why would anyone give their tenants a present? I'm already subsidising their living expenses just by living in my properties, why on earth would you want to give them more? Do they run out & say "Oh, I must go get a present for my...

    Living in Nirvana

    I think I have a couple of those NIRVANA properties. And to cap it off the scumbag tenants have stopped paying rent & damaged one of them & the tribunal has said "Give them another chance" WTF!!! Already 6 weeks behind, because of a tribunal stuff up, & then that. No payment orders "It's...

    I have been investing for some time now & I should be doing well. However it seems that everything turns to custard constantly. I have several properties in a Regional area that I want to sell, but can't due to stupid PM's & tradies. It is a long story, but it means that I am screwed. I...
