Common groud. It’s an important area in any strata scheme, and it’s also the most important area in the relationships that decide whether a Management and Letting Rights business can succeed. A community title scheme is like a magnifying glass of society. It can amplify so many of the good things we enjoy – good friends, beautiful views and wonderful communal amenities in locations by the beach or by a golf course that many owners could not enjoy if they were buying a suburban house. But community title strata schemes can also magnify problems, and finding common ground with owners, tenants, and body corporate committeesRead More →

For years now, managers have despaired at the huge cost for Premier ads on RealEstate.com.au. We all know ( as carefully researched here: https://theonsitemanager.com.au/news/feature-listing-upgrade-value-quantified-a-case-study/ ) that upgrade listings acheive a vastly quicker settlement time than standards… and just recently RealEstate.com.au were kind enough to allow us to nominate some of our stubborn sales listings to Premier Plus to see what we thought of it. The manager whose listing was chosen said the difference was, and I quote directly: “night and day”. She’d had a 7-figure apartment stuck on the market for a month with barely a nibble and the owner was about to pull the lotRead More →

The concept of a ‘partnership’ or ‘syndicate’, whereby a group of investors pool their financial resources to leverage their purchasing power to acquire an asset, is by no means a new one. Such arrangements have been prevalent in the commercial property and freehold hotel/motel market for decades. In the management rights industry, syndicates are becoming increasingly common in the purchase of large-scale, high netting businesses. So, what are the key components of a management rights syndicate? What do they offer to their partners? And what advantages do they hold over other operational/investment models? PARTNER ROLESAs the name suggests, partnerships are established by uniting a groupRead More →

I had a very interesting (and sadly, all too recurrent) conversation with an onsite manager recently, who shall remain unnamed. It went like this: Hey there, your marketing is due to be renewed this week, would you like me to renew it for you so you don’t lose any listings? I’ll be honest with you, I don’t need to advertise my rentals. You… you don’t need to advertise rentals? Aren’t you a rental manager? Yes I am, but No, because there’s that many tenants out there, I just have to stick a sign out the front and I fill it within 4 hours. Gosh that’sRead More →

Rental providers are passionately opposed to several changes being proposed as part of the State Government’s stage two rental law reforms Options Paper, according to a survey of more than 3,300 Queensland property investors. The survey, conducted by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ), sought property investor sentiment towards some of the ‘hot button’ changes proposed in the paper. One of the most foreboding findings from the survey, was that 81.4 per cent of rental providers said recent and future proposed tenancy law changes have influenced the likelihood that they will sell up (refer to Q14 graph).

The Holden Monaro is considered, among a certain demographic of the population, an icon of Australian motoring. Indeed, when we actually made things like cars the modern version produced between 2001 and 2005 sold in vast numbers to petrol heads, mums and dads and collectors alike. Man, I loved that car when it was launched but alas, as a poor long-suffering PAYG slave I could not afford one. So, I’d spend time in Holden showrooms just looking at the thing and dreaming of the day………. It will come as no surprise that as a Toowoomba girl the managing director also had a soft spot forRead More →

The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) is calling on property managers and property investors in Queensland to join its campaign to convince the State Government to reconsider proposed stage 2 rental law reforms. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said the peak body was preparing its Submission to the Queensland Government’s Option Paper regarding stage two rental reforms, and would ensure the voices of property managers and property investors are represented and heard. “The REIQ is concerned with ongoing and consistent rental law reforms in Queensland which are progressively eroding property investor rights along with their confidence and interfering with contractual relations,” Ms Mercorella said. “IfRead More →
