Hi All, Not sure if the meeting point section is the right place to post this, but happy for the mod's to move if required. Anyway I have a couple of spare Gold tickets to the upcoming Tony Robbins - Unleash The Power within Seminar on April 12th-15th 2013 in Sydney which I'm happy to sell...

As the title says I'm curious as to peoples thoughts on how high body corporate/strata fees ultimately affect the long term capital growth of units. There was an interesting article in the recent API on this, with a generally negative consensus towards high rises, however having spent the day...

Hi All, Just wondering what peoples thoughts were on negotiating fee's with prospective property managers? Is this an invite to offer substandard service or just good business sense? Cheers Mr M
