Our outcome 8-9 years after purchasing – we were advised to set and forget and wait but we cannot ‘set and forget’ with maintenance costs increasing with the properties being older, holding costs reducing with limited depreciation left and significant negative equity.

Hi Annabelle
We can concur of the same experience with Rocket Property Group that has left us hundreds of thousands of dollars worse off (loss from funds taken from PPOR equity through Rocket advice).
