Hi Myhouse The area doesnt seem to produce great property managers. I had 5 in 10 years and the best by far was Run Property at Hurstville. The principal had the property managers landline redirected to his mobile if it rang out, so things were always actioned very promptly. My tenants...

ATM cash out restrictions I have also been to developing countries which have a very low (by Tourist standards) maximum ATM cash out per transaction - sometimes AUD$70. Really stings when you have to pay fees. I'll have the 28 days card in the post box soon...

$84.95 for a plan with 2 reports and alerts. I ordered a free one through D&B last year on the old system. Nothing was on it and they said that was a good thing....so I was keen to see how the new system worked. I believe by law they must provide you with a free one per year if you request it.

overpriced? I looked at this Hill St Marrickville unit a few weeks ago. The agent was quoting from $500K. He said approx. $450 rental. The entrance to the building was at the back in between all the garages and there seemed to be drainage issues on the common property so it required...
