Good typo MJP, if you’re really looking for “goof” financial advisors, you could end up with hundreds of recommendations.

Couldn’t you request the electricity supplier re-direct that bonus to the property owner (yourself) ?
Hope so. Sounds like a brand new can of worms.

Hi Bonsia.
Haven’t assessed the NE area for some time now. Outdated info won’t help.
Graph and compare the towns occupancy rates and rev per room from ABS stats.
Check the traffic counts on the main 4 towns allowing also for east west which Armidale doesn’t get.
Which ones are bypassed or will be soon ?
Restaurant or not?
Tamworth and Glen Innes…[Read more]

Hi Kindren
Hope your target is lucrative for you.
My Opinion. Goulburn is a great motel town. It even provides well for motels of lower star ratings.

Recent sales should provide plenty of info for a valuer.
Lilac City is for sale. Also Goulburn Motor Inn.…[Read more]

Hi No.8.
Exposed wolves in sheep clothing appreciated always.
What kind of help do you want ?

Something else occurred to me, a few motel broker ads mention motel on the market due to poor health.
Now that sounds like there’s someone who could use some help and provide some hands on experience.
Win win.

Some councils estimate the parking spaces required as one space per patient per doctor or dentist, plus a spare few. Parking contributions to council for spaces you don’t have may be required. Def a job for a good local town planner who is well regarded by local council.

Irresponsible, not appreciated

Hi Bobbs
There are 2 considerations here, maintaining the star rating, and/or meeting the annual brand quality inspection requirements.

Star Rating – Most leases state that the tenant must maintain the star rating at the tenant’s expense.

Brand – The lease will show who is responsible for replacing or maintaining those items which are not up to…[Read more]

Hmmm, you’ve just joined, placed 3 posts all ads all the same, not helping anyone except yourself. Not really how the Forum works as I understand it. Genuine forum contributors who join to share n help others while getting help for themselves is closer to the Forum purpose I believe.

Opinion only.
First, it must be established whether this damage is fair wear n tear, irrespective of the condition report.
What wear n tear is fair is completely relative.
In that regard it would be reasonable to expect that a kitchen floor could take some water without swelling.
So a tenant should be able to mop it at least every day for…[Read more]

To my limited knowledge, very limited, there are some situations with govt depts where they can deem, and the burden of proof is on the citizen, ATO i believe can act in this manner under certain circumstances.
