    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

    seems two of the properties have gone under contract….so I'll just have to look at the last one on Netherplace Drive, looks OK all female share house very settled, house dog named Poh…maybe it's an omen…I love Poh's Kitchen

    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

  • Frankston Fella replied to the topic Six unit site Frankston Vic in the forum Help Needed! 13 years, 11 months ago

    thanks very much Christian!quite a bit to take in. Once I digest all that I might have some questions for you cheers FF

  • Frankston Fella replied to the topic Share Houses and Rooming Houses in the forum Help Needed! 13 years, 11 months ago

    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

  • Frankston Fella replied to the topic Share Houses and Rooming Houses in the forum Help Needed! 13 years, 11 months ago

    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

  • Frankston Fella replied to the topic Six unit site Frankston Vic in the forum Help Needed! 13 years, 11 months ago

    Can anyone recommend a good archetect? One that is not too busy to talk to you…….!!

  • Frankston Fella replied to the topic Share Houses and Rooming Houses in the forum Help Needed! 13 years, 11 months ago

    Thanks Barry that's very positive…and much apreciated advice! The houses are approved 1B and council registered, have hard-wired smokies and emaergency lighting they have occupancy permits so I can only assume all safety work has been done.Did speak to my insurance broker doesn't seem to be any probs there…Calliden I think she said will…[Read more]

    Thanks Andrew, have already spoken with my Insurance Broker, she has told me that as far as insurance goes it is the same policy as any investment property…..as long as your registration and Essential Safety Measures are all up to date. Appreciate the reply and the welcome…cheers mate FF

    Is it just me or do most (yes I'm sure not all) people think that CF+ properties just happen with no work involved. I have been doing my research into Share houses and Rooming houses, yes I know they have a bit of a bad name but I reakon if they are well managed…like hands on….they could be good money and very rewarding at the same time.
