Rooster, yes... Did you read the email I got on the first page of this thread asking me to pay for a tradesman? I never should have gotten that, as a maintenance request form should have been put in to the builder without sending me an email asking to pay - do you get that? I wasted my time and called the builder, then called the rea estate to have them tell me they've already done that - WTF!
Thanks bespeak! Food for thought, I guess.
Yep, read all that!
I'm still trying to fathom why you are so uptight. You were incorrectly asked to pay for something that is under warranty. So it was a stuff up. Move on.
From what you are describing you had to take one phone call and make two.
All could have been done in the time it's taken you to post about it here.
Nothing will always go smoothly with an investment property, whether it be in the relationships with the people you deal with or the day to day grind of running it.
You will need to develop a thicker skin, a bit more tolerance or devote your future proceeds to your 30% return, tax free winner that you have up your sleeve.
Your call
