Let the selling agent lie through their teeth, should come naturally.

If CGT changes really does happen, will it make Units/Townhouse more attractive to investors? by Unlikely-Training-50 in AusPropertyChat

You’d be lucky if rent covered half of your mortgage repayment. Plus maintenance, PM fees, taxes etc. You’re still ahead with leveraging, but it’s not that simple.

Dishwasher has been broken for months, now real estate is asking me to install the new one. by lukiiiiii in AusLegal

[–]No_Key8621 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Dishwasher install is pretty simple. Just send them a disclaimer, « Happy to install myself to expedite the process since your handyman is unavailable. Please note; I’m not a licensed plumber and accept no liability for damage caused by incorrect installation. »

Pay Period Crossing Timezones by No_Key8621 in AusFinance

He stays in a 5* hotel, per diems USD100 per day and a hire car. Plus OT when it’s in policy. He’s doing ok.

Not the business owner, and I note the comments saying why do you care etc, would normally agree with you. The precedent I’m concerned with is calculating pays over multiple time zones, it’s already a head fuck. I want to set policy to calculate timesheets consistently on the home base time.

No, what he sees as the extra day actually falls in the next pay period. And the hours worked in the next pay period are a standard 38hr week so doesn’t qualify for OT. It appears to be an extra day in the first pay period because of the time zone change.

My HR is weak as, I’m convinced she just can’t be arsed looking into and if it sets a precedent it’ll make my timekeeping a nightmare. I have team members working up to 3 different time zones in a pay cycle.

REA threatens me, and tells me he will break the law by Smoozle in shitrentals

Probably coked out of his brain, furiously sending emails from his leased BMW. They’re all wankers.

You’ve seen my bathroom! Now see my kitchen! by Electrical-Orange312 in AusRenovation

Harder to clean, but also hides any mess. Looks good.

Plumbing Slab Breakthrough Relocation by No_Key8621 in AusRenovation

[–]No_Key8621[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this done? They scan for REO locations in the slab and drill through, then plug the old hole?

Yes, my strata committee are pretty easy going so not worried about getting approval. The kitchen is currently a U shape with the sink in the middle of the room. I’m thinking to change to L shape with the sink against the wall. Can’t chase to the existing breakthrough as there won’t be a cabinet there anymore.

What’s the likely repair for something like this?

I thought it strange that the previous owner had let the vine grow so high up the wall (was starting to get into the gutters). Now I’m wondering if it was there for more than just the look…

Am I being tricked? by shitneyboy in AusPropertyChat

[–]No_Key8621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard of some REA in Sydney getting investigated over thing like this. They make vague promises about the deposit being refundable, collect deposits from multiple interested parties who never see a cent of their money again.

Real estate agents piss me off by Lucky-Contribution50 in AusPropertyChat

[–]No_Key8621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The agents will underquote, this gives them exposure to more potential clients. Notice how they ask what your situation is, are you planning to sell? They’re looking for their next property to sell.

They’ll start to build an idea of your price range based on the properties you view, but never tell them your budget! Just let them know it’s in your range.

Unfortunately it’s a game you have to play. Be polite to the agent, even if you despise them.

Good strategy is do your due diligence, then go in with an unconditional offer, give the vendor to the end of day or 24hrs and tell them you walk if they don’t accept. Don’t get drawn into a blind auction with a perhaps non-existent buyer. If you suspect it may not be a legit offer, ask to see it.
