Lots of wrong and misleading information in this article. I sold my property myself 5% higher than valuation done by real estate agent.

Hi

I think you need to do your homework a bit as I run a number of property's and you can do a tenancy checks through companies like rent better and you can also get history and information off the tenant they last rented through eh: Raine and Horne.

Also to run a property is easy only need to spend 4mins every 6 weeks to ensure the rent gas come in or setup notifications on bank account (app)

Also repairs through a realestate is much higher (cost wise) than if you you a tradie that you get to know, because the tradie know he will get regular work from you.

If you get a bad tenant there is a process to follow (consumer affairs website) and in regards to finding a tenant, this process is very rare if you get a good one as you only need to find a new tenant every 6 to 10 years from what I have found but I did have one move out after 3years if you keep them happy they will stay. Note: units are different tenant turnover is higher.

I've had to put one insurance claim in didn't seem like a nightmare it was very simple and easy as the insurance agency helps you through it, so not sure where the nightmare comes from

Also selling a house is alot more easier than running a property as I have done this a couple times already.

Note: I have been running my rental properties by myself for roughly 20years and never had any training as the process is very simple and easy.

Thanks

Mike
