A late reply – property can’t occupy our every thoughts now can it? ;)
@jamie-m I’ve seen you mention the $20k reno a few times. That must have really stung. Obviously your business in doing great guns and you have yourself a bloody nice place to shower, s..t and shave every morning!
@cjaysa Thanks for your comments. Spot on. Cheap, presentable and clean. Our aim is to attract better tenants and effectively lower the LVR by increasing the capital on the property. Lower your risk and sleep easy.
Unfortunately marketing on the property could not begin until settlement. The old Chinese owner felt this was pushing boundaries even though he was happy for us to complete a garden clean-up, quoting for trades while he was in the property etc. Go figure..
The property is rented but @ $400 p/w on a 6 month lease. We have noticed a winter slowdown in the rental market and we adjusted accordingly to ensure a quick take-up. Renewing the lease over the January period will provide an opportunity for increase. Things are set to be extremely busy this summer.
Anyone interested in the process, check the website, or flick me an email. I’m happy to provides details at no cost.
