Demand For Property Outweighing Supply

An interesting article from RP Data recently confirmed what we have known for a while in that demand for property is outweighing supply in Australia.

"The Australian Bureau of Statistics released building activity data this week, showing the total number of dwelling commencements fell by 11.4% over the year to June 2012. Based on the June data, the number of housing starts was13.4% lower than the ten year average. The weak results highlight just how weak the housing construction sector has been since building activity started to fall in early 2010."

What To Look For In A Property Manager

Choosing a property manager for your investment property is a significant decision that you will make and can have a large impact on the return you receive from your investment property. Following a few useful tips can make the decision clear and lead to a productive and lengthy professional relationship.

Contact and arrange to interview a number of property managers based in the area where your investment property is located. Ideally, the property manager you select will have experience with managing similar properties and a good understanding of the area and the local market. It is important to think of it as a job interview and that you are looking to find someone that shares your philosophy and expectations of the property.

It is important to discuss and agree on your expectations of the property manager’s role and the strategy you have for your investment property. Having a similar view on rent price is obvious, but also whether you’re willing to allow the property manager to advertise and select tenants, handle the repairs and maintenance to the property (such as hiring cleaners, plumbers, etc.) and do any inspections of the property. Alternately, you may wish to be consulted on all of these matters before the property manager proceeds. Having a clear understanding for both owner and manager will ensure a successful working relationship.
