    Hi,

    I am interested in finding out a little bit more about this idea as an investment.

    I have found some good info on this website when doing a search, but now want to clarify a few things.

    Can anyone tell me….

    It was stated that renting out more than 3 rooms in VIC becomes a “rooming house” & attracts differnt rules. Does anyone know the rules for other states?.

    What type of insurance do you normally have & what is the ball park cost per annum. (I have seen widely varying amounts)

    Is the Local Council the only other authority who would have rules/restrictions on how many people you rented out to singularly (or are there others).

    What overheads could you possibly have in this set-up (eg lawn maintenance) I presume that the landlord would pay the electricity bill & water. Is there anything else?

    Could those of you that have done this form of investing give me a little insight.

    cheers

    Shnook
