Finally found this forum after someone posted a link on Whirlpool.
So, I'm planning to rent out my house that I purchased last year in Clayton South in one of the streets off Westall rd. I'm currently residing in it for 12mnths to renovate and meet FHB conditions.
My goal is to keep the property in the best condition as possible as I intend to move in within 2-3 yrs. I'm willing to accept lower rental income to achieve this.
Do I approach PMs by sending them an email asking for a charter of services and their fee structure?
I heard bad things about Century21 in this forum but haven't read any anecdotal evidence? I understand they are the dominant REA in this area from my research.
Can anyone recommend a PM? Is there a local independent PM or should I stick to the bigger REAs?
From my research, I'll be comparing PMs according to the points below (anything else?);
Inspection Freq.
Letting [$]
Re-Letting [$]
Management [$/W]
Marketing [$]
Statement [$/W]
Sundries [$/W]
Urgent Repairs Theshold [$]
Termination fee [$]
OFI fee [$]
Maintenence supervision fee [%]
Tenant DB check (TRA/Tica) [$]
EOY Financial Statement [$]
