Thank you for that insight, I thought RE.com might be the best place to advertise, sounds pretty reasonable! I have had a look and there doesn't seem to be a lot of share accommodation available at any one time.Thanks for the tip about insurance I will make sure my broker checks GIO, many thanks again FF

thanks Blair….good to get your input..they certainly don't make things easy do they?well it seems the 2 properties have gone under contract anyway…so maybe a little more homework before the next opportunity comes along……maybe I'll just look at the last rooming house on Netherplace drive for a bit of income for now…..thanks to everyone…[Read more]

Thanks Jac, so are you thinking like a yearly rate perhaps averaged over their stay…that could work, I have heard some students will pay almost their entire stay in advance…worth considering…cheers FF

Thanks Jac! I'm sure there are a quite a few agencies around, we have a couple of good ones in Frankston who have expressed interest so I'm sure that'll be fine. Not sure about students tho, what do you think? Quite often not around for a full year….thought I might be better to target regular local people, cheers for the post

I guess the other consideration is finding tenants!The vendor says he will assist for 6 months in finding new tenants until the new buyer is "plugged" in to the system. I imagine that with such a rental crisis that finding tenants isn't too much of an issue. Anyone have any thoughts?All 3 houses have at least one person in them that has been there…[Read more]

thanks for your reply guys……no real rush as I am only considering buying the properties still at this stage, I really just wanted to speak to someone before I buy about the suitability of the blocks for development, make sure there are no issues. But like you say everyone is just SO busy….having said that thanks for the posts cheers guys FF
