Rentvesting, heard of it? The long and the short of rentvesting is renting where you want to live & buying where/what you can afford.

Over the past 20 years there have been many changes to how prospective tenants are able to view a rental property.

Longer days, green shoots and blossoms. Spring in Melbourne: crisp windy and wet. This is a time to rejoice and celebrate new beginnings. Our homes should likewise celebrate the new season. 

Presenting your investment property in the 'best light' is the key to achieving a quick tenancy and at the best possible rental price. Here are a few tips to help you present your property to get the best result.

Ever wonder why a Real Estate Agent asks for your name and contact number at an Open for Inspection and what right they have to do it?

A new client asked me recently how they could go beyond the realms of standard practice and become a well-respected landlord.

It makes sense that if you're perceived as a pro-active landlord, you're more likely to attract better tenants for longer and, in turn, improve the performance of your asset.

Get the mood right and selling during the colder months of the year can reap enormous benefits.  With fewer properties on the market than in the frenetic Spring months, there's less competition and it can be a great opportunity to showcase your home's cosy charm.
