Hi all - I'm not sure if this is allowed - This is my first post. I (like most people I expect) sort of clicked through the rules section fairly quickly when signing up. I'm posting to offer myself as a good tenant if any landlords are interested - you can send me a private message if you are. If this is a problem re the rules of this forum then of course I (or probably the administrator) will remove the post.
I think the property market is well overcooked - others have different opinions which is fine - each to their own. But I am happy to rent while the market re-establishes a link to people's incomes.
The place I am renting now is becoming a bit small - it is a 2 bedroom townhouse in Paddington, Brisbane. So I am looking to move to something bigger preferably around the inner west - but would look elsewhere if it was suitable. I'd go as far out as Graceville or Yerongpilly I suppose.
I'm not looking froward to travelling from open house to open house hunting for a place. And the landlords would probably appreciate having a good tenant ready to go rather than going through all the applications and trying to work out which is best. So it looks like a win-win to me if I post my details and somebody has something that is available soon (maybe a site to do this is a good idea - verify people as good tenants and add them to a list for landlords to look through?).

About me:
- Married, 1 child (18 months)
- Wife is stay at home mum
- I make $134K a year (package - $112K base)
- Rented for the past 2 years in Paddington without missing a beat - perfect tenant
- For the 2 years before this (2003 to 2005) we were owner occupiers
- Before this 2001 to 2002 we rented in Sydney directly from the owner
Looking for:
- reasonably quiet street
- at least 3 bedroom
- Kitchen opening into living area (keep an eye on kid)
- Small yard
- Entertaining Deck
- Airconditioning in living area
- insulation (a stinking hot iron roof in summer is inefficient in my view)
- Good storage areas / cupboards etc
- 1 car accomodation
- a landlord that has a healthy cashflow and won't ditch the property at the first sign of trouble in the market
- a 1 year agreement (but expect to stay for at least 2 years I think)
- Budget is 'up to' $550 a week
