I think your doing a wonderful job and the photos are so inspiring, keep posting them because it makes me really perk up to see the new stuff you have done!

Gosh its stunning the way it is.. so NEW! Love it!.Lilly pilly bushes along future fencelines for privacy amd establishment would be good, they are fast growing.

Id gut it, and then keep it simple and modern. It can be done for under 5k.

First I would get rid of the shutters, maybe put in traditional QLDer ones. Also paint the house in zen or neutral colours. Thats what I would do. Its a cute place.

Found a photo of my tenant… I could swear its them! – Gee I wonder why!

Things have gotten worse, tenant is now making up lies to the property manager, which is fine because the pm got a taste first hand of what the tenant was like with the walk through, the shouting and swearing! Not to mention the extra dogS! Yes Multiple.I wont raise the rent again, i just put it up..  that wouldnt be fair. (But i am starting to…[Read more]

Lets tell them that! With the windows they took out and the AC they put in.. PM can take care of it now, I wash my hands of those tenants. I will just keep an eye on what the PM is doing..much easer

"You are not the evil monster; the tenant is. You are providing them with a home, taking all the risks and they are showing you no respect."The point is about the smoke alarms Colin, that the tenant can get them as easily as I can, if its such a big issue she should get them! Before the tenant pees in their pants! The tenant is making me sick,…[Read more]

PS. There was an extra tree cut down!It wasnt stated on the plan of trees they are cutting down  now I want to sue them or get compensation. I feel like an evil monster. But I feel like everyone is taking advantage of me.

Yes the PM is LOVELY! Very understanding and when the PM met the tenant there was some very nasty words said by the tenant. Tenant turned into a honestly a 'monster' I was speechless!So now I have a PM thank you all for helping me through this crisis.Now Im sure all the rental arrears will get paid, seems tenant overlookied' them.. I didnt. Plus…[Read more]

Oh someone pleeeeeeeeeease entertain me

Guess what I got today

Bunnings has great affordable produts for that kind of reno.

I reccomend somthing totally different. Look at Yaraville, a small underdeveloped suburb that will explode even further soon, in my oppinion.

Artaud do you still have that spreadsheet? Id like to see it, even without the companies in it but with the headings etc that would be useful for a few of us here.

Yes I know what you mean about that, they get paid to manage property not sit on their bums.. lol

Thanks for your support everyone. Her contract is well and truly expired and now its just month to month so I can kick her to the curb if she becomes too much to deal with. I will make urgent calls tomorrow about landlord insurance, i dont have that yet… whoops, i have house insurance… I will also call a few PMs and see what their rates are…[Read more]

No its private at this stage, though I am seriously considering doing it through a reputable agency. I just looked up the average rental costs for the suburb and they are $200 for a 3 bdm, and as such mines in very good condition. (Not being biased it really is in good condition)I just looked up about the fire alarms, and they arent req until July…[Read more]

I would reccomend you keep tenants out while your trying to sell, they mess up the house/unit and dont care that your selling or that you want the best price for your place.Im not happy with tenants at the moment… can you tell.
