TheOnsiteManager.com.au frequently gets introduced to many products, including landlord insurance, catering to the real estate industry. With our managers in mind, we assess the overall benefit of each product. Recently, Australian Landlord Insurance (ALI) presented an offer to us to take to our managers. We are pleased, on behalf of ALI, to offer to you landlord insurance for just $320. This represents a reduction, in most cases, over landlord’s current policies but also provides your clients with additional cover in many areas. Also note that the normal cost of a ALI landlord insurance policy in Queensland is $325. ALI’s product is extremely competitive in theRead More →

When the original Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 was drafted, it contained a provision that made it illegal for a Body Corporate to seek, or accept the payment of an amount, or conferral of a benefit for itself for the engagement of a person as a Service Contractor (“Caretaker”) or authorisation of a person as a Letting Agent.  These ultimately became Sections 113 and 115 of the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997, in which they are also extended to cover replacement or renewals of any engagements or authorisations. The provisions worked well to protect Caretakers and Letting Agents from being heldRead More →

We used to think that getting to settlement was a normal process over about 90 days with maybe a bit of renegotiation on verification but due diligence and finance were fairly straight forward if we had qualified our buyer and committee approval was a given. What happened? Now we see more contracts fall over than ever before and extensions requested with almost every deal and finance can take 42 days or more. Buyers are providing more information than ever before and sometimes Sellers not enough. I think we all need to understand that the criteria has changed in the past couple of years. Sellers needRead More →

Yesterday I was invited along to the BNE Airport Business Advisory Group Airport Tour. They hold these tours once a year to communicate to the business community their strategy and roadmap for the future. I’m pleased to report: it’s a very good roadmap and one of the things that makes me excited to live in South East Queensland over the next decade. The tour began, and ended, at the Accor’s brand new IBIS hotel and conference centre, opposite the domestic terminal. It’s an impressive hotel, particularly for a 3.5-star offering, but what really amazes me is that it’s the 3rd hotel Accor have launched inRead More →

If you can just get your mind together Then come on across to me We’ll hold hands an’ then we’ll watch the sun rise from the bottom of the sea But first Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Well, I have Jimi Hendrix May 1967 I’ve had this great old Jimi Hendrix song tumbling around in my head this week. A great riff and a great song from one of the legends but that’s not why it’s stuck on high rotation in my already overstressed mind. Here’s the thing.

Management rights, whether permanent, short-term (or holiday-let), hotel or motel; can benefit from overseas or inbound business. Although the term overseas, or even global, markets can sound daunting at first; if you have been working in this market segment, some insights should help to increase market share by focusing on the right markets and approaches. The selection of markets is based on many visitors but even more importantly, on the degree of difficulty in developing the market. New Zealand is the biggest market but many Kiwis stay with family and friends, choosing cheaper options when they do stay at a hotel. Asian markets Owing toRead More →

When running a management rights business, it’s so easy to get so caught up in the day-to-day that you forget you’re not just an employee doing a job, but in fact a business owner and investor. It’s understandable – if you’re spending all your time listening to complaints and getting covered in bin juice, it’s not hard to lose sight of the reason you first went into management rights: to enjoy a better work-life balance, to semi-retire, or to build a nest egg off of your letting pool income. Unfortunately, there’s no secret get-rich-quick method to running an effective, profitable management rights business. But thereRead More →
