Renters ???

[Bloodyaussie]

So here is my rant... I am sure there are many on here that have rented properties as an investment and can understand where I am coming from.

Now I have rented myself for 30 years so can see from both sides of the coin but I just dont get some people.

Today I had to drive down to remove a whole heap of greenwaste from the fence line that was removed by my neighbour to make way for a new fence.. so this is the first time I have seen the place since doing a massive clean up before renting the place again and it was terrible.

Besides the normal crap of lawns way to long and weeds everywhere they are stock piling rubbish in bags and there are cig butts everywhere.... and I mean heaps.

Then they have taken to getting a washing machine tumbler in the middle of the yard and having fires and crap all over the place..... they have only been there 4 months and the place is a fricking mess.

There is more but you get the jist of it.... I had one tenant a few years ago that complained there were too many spiders???

I dont expect perfection but my god a little bit of respect.

After spending a full day there getting the place spotless after the last tenant left the place looking like shit it was so hard to see the place like this...

Now we stay away and do not bug the tenants and if something needs fixing we get it done so why do we still get screwed.....

Rant over guys........ doo de doo de do do doo !!!!

Something to look forward too.

After I finish on these 2 big jobs we have on the go at the moment I will end up with enough to get my first investment property.

With my stubborn and anal personality I am glad I don't have investment properties...lol

Being that I own the place I would flip out. Even though that place sounds very much like the current state of my house...lmao

We have a unit we rent out in Logan which is a dodgy area so when it came to tenants I was worried I'd get a meth cook hooker or similar stereo types.
I signed up to a refugee program that's government funded. This has several problems and goes against some of my morals.
I mostly went with this as it's government funded so no money issues normally associated with lower economic areas


Anyway this brings me to my gripe, a family moved in with a full house of government funded furniture etc. had the 6 month inspection to find the place perfect because they left 3 months earlier and for the last 6 months you tax payers have been paying me my rent for an empty house so no chance of damage or wear and tare etc but a big waste of tax dollars I wonder how many more places are like this?

Wow.... ha ha at least its going to a good cause !!!!!!!!

I do hear you mate as I am sick of buying things for people like Ipads ... I dont have a bloody Ipad !!!
