Hi all,
My wife and I have a 2 BR apartment in Brunswick, Melbourne. It is our first humble 1st home and we wil eventually return to live in it, most liekly. We are heading overseas for 2 1/2 - 3 years (maybe more), leaving this January.
Wife wants to rent our place 'fully equipped'. I appreciate the difficulties of doing this (limiting market, additional work, etc). She wants to try, nd who am I to argue? She wants to advertise on an overseas 'sabbatical' website, and gumtree. She isn;t so worried about getting a rental agent.
My Q's are:
- Doeas anyone have any advice (including reasons against we may not have considered);
- Should we definately get a rental agent? We have family here who could potentially help us organise repairs, inspections;
- Can anyone recommend an agent who specialises in fully equipped/furnished;
- Are there any websites where you can advertise your home to overseas professionals (ie: sabbatical.com)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
