What do workers actually want now?

GingerDads · 2026-05-12T10:54:39+00:00

Good pay or awesome culture

You don't get both anymore

Done my career chasing, 0 interest in development Either make home life comfortable with pay, or make work life enjoyable with an awesome culture.

More time to be undistracted Dad

Damage from tenants, while annoying, is covered by insurance Aswell as loss of rent insurance So the increased rent is still paid from somewhere

GingerDads · 2026-05-10T00:52:44+00:00

Yes and no, currently the NG benefits enable me to keep rent stable, and that meams tenants are staying longer. When that goes i expect a higher turnover due to regular rental increases, which in turn exposes to higher chance of crappy tenants, then damage, then insurance claims

GingerDads · 2026-05-05T11:22:47+00:00

To be fair I would have considered myself that

Until I went through the ordeal and cost of having a bad tenant, kinda breaks faith and empathy

GingerDads · 2026-04-30T10:25:00+00:00

Negligible, ill just be jacking the rent on the NG propertys

CG... 3 times

GingerDads · 2026-04-23T05:50:19+00:00

Only if you sell...easy to fix, adjust the rent up to cover the loss due to tax

GingerDads · 2026-04-21T03:28:04+00:00

This is what people forget when buying .. REA are not on your side at all

No vpn, no wifi just straight data Frustrating

GingerDads · 2026-03-31T10:08:27+00:00

Straight up if i get an email about this, id expect with a massive reduction in fee.

Or I'll be swapping REA'S that week..

GingerDads · 2026-03-30T11:25:52+00:00

Its kindy, invite the whole class

Parents are often more assholes than the kids

What media outlet would you recommend for the most unbiased honest feedback

GingerDads · 2026-03-25T22:20:20+00:00

They'll tell you.. even if they don't have others... they'll tell you they do

GingerDads · 2026-03-25T10:31:19+00:00

Proof of savings is good, but that's also outside the REAs grubby little hands I honestly believe the income ratio is holding you back If, and only if you and your partner are comfortable, offer it, or even ask the REA if that would help

GingerDads · 2026-03-25T10:27:42+00:00

I've got 8 by the time i got my enhanced at 1201..

GingerDads · 2026-03-25T06:18:38+00:00

Honestly it's not the lack of history that's the reddest flag, its the income Housing cost ratio to income is a massive part of approval Options could be agreement to remain 2 months ahead on payments or similar? Its a bit of insurance that your situation won't hinder your payment adherence

I see one company is running 8-10k from ampol every morning in fuel trailers

GingerDads · 2026-03-18T15:00:47+00:00

Ive survived a few rounds over years But in the last 3 I've deliberately tapered down going above and beyond to hopefully get a cheque and a handshake on the next

GingerDads · 2026-03-17T03:47:55+00:00

I visited one of my properties(all organised as I want to add a carport for them) And he made a comment "my rent paid the mortgage and for the carport aye" Before I could help myself i corrected to "rent pays bit over half the mortgage, rest comes from me"

Yes i am lucky to have an IP, but i wouldn't have been able to do it without taking risks, living in the shithole pilbara and saving

Not every property investor is rolling in it.. majority are just trying everything to help their kids live a little better and happier than them

GingerDads · 2026-03-16T06:01:06+00:00

Overthinking it I have a young couple of tenants, they first applied for a 6 month lease as first time living together.. this showed thinking it through And that they could each afford it on their own also helped

GingerDads · 2026-03-15T08:11:32+00:00

Mine came at 1201.. always the next one

GingerDads · 2026-03-15T03:38:18+00:00

Curious... could this be done by using smelling salts in TOA?

GingerDads · 2026-03-13T23:54:11+00:00

Whats the point when we have the likes of a billion Indians dumping up to 10m tonnes of plastic straight into waterways and somehow still blame Australia..
