I can tell you from experience, not all property managers are the same, and we aren't trained or skilled in the same way. So whether you are focusing your investment on overall growth, or yield, you need to decide who is on your team, and who will help you achieve the financial success you want, and while you are doing that, see if you can find out if you have a property manager, or an investment specialist. Because one could cost you thousands in mistakes, or misguiding you, and one ...
What is in a vacate inspection? What do you take photo's of? What do you look for? I have probably completed a thousand of these in my career and I have learnt something from each one.

Rent bidding with Exclusively Managed is a no go zone. A rental property must be advertised at a fixed price - failing to do so is an offence. The property manager/owner does not have to display the price on a ‘for rent’ sign at the property, but any other advertisement must include a fixed price. A property manager/owner must also not: advertise a property with a rent range (e.g. between $500-$600 a week) put a property up for rent auction proactively tell rental appli...
Samantha Eason was very fortunate to be featured in this article with ABC News written by Maani Truu https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-23/behind-the-scenes-of-rent-increases/102329918 In some cases, Eason says, delays in repairs stem from the property manager's lack of training, like knowing whether it's more economical to order a repair or replacement of an appliance the moment a request is lodged. "If a dishwasher is older than eight years, I recommend straight away to replace it … if i...
Read the outrageous email a real estate agent accidentally sent a tenant instead of landlord - and the ridiculous reason they wanted to nearly DOUBLE the rent!

'Out of all the properties I manage he has the most maintenance requests and occupies of the most of my (and therefore your) time. On one occasion (the aircon) he called every ...
