Huey…….I don’t know you, but you sound as if you are a very good person….and I hate seeing good people being trampled upon.
Get angry, mate….controlled anger can be a very useful tool.
I don’t mean being abusive or the desk thumping type but certainly being assertive is appropriate. You have made a significant investment in this property and in as much as you would not let anyone trash your own house, how much less important is your second or third house?
I am plesed that your agent has found a new tenant for you but I agree with slatzagain….find a new agentKind Regards and best wishes……Kas

I am new to this site and have only ordered Steve’s book today so I am not familiar with the 11 second rule.
My feeling is that if you are going to invest in real estate then you should have total control over your investment and this is difficult if you have to rely on bodies corporate and as you have rightly pointed out, units may not attract as great a capital gain as houses. Understand though, that a good cash flow in the early stages may be more important than future capital growth, especially if you intend to buy more properties.
As well, re sale is more difficult in the unit market.
You certainly have to do your sums and your own circumstances will indicate whether units is the way to go for you.
Units will be cheaper to buy than houses and may be appropriate if finances are limited.
I apologise if I have totally confused you.Regards…….Kas
