STRA (Short Term Rental Accommodation)

Posted on 19/04/2022

With holiday season upon us again, now is a timely reminder to engage in an experienced Property Manager who will assist with ensuring; your guests are safe, your property is damage free and mitigate any potential loss due to not complying with legislation and regulations.

Holiday makers can often be in unfamiliar territory whilst staying in your property. This makes it easier to forget things like; removing the lint build-up from the clothes dryer to avoid a fire, turning the hose tap off to avoid an excessive water bill, turning the gas bottle off to the BBQ, leaving doors unlocked because they're not aware of break-ins, air con left on increasing your electricity bill, windows left open during a storm causing water to enter the property, iron left on starting a fire, maintenance not reported for the next guest to complain about, etc.

If you're going to rely on a cleaner to check or manage your holiday property, try creating a checklist for them. Leave the checklist on the fridge for the guests to see when they arrive. Include things like; sweeping dog hair from under the bed, vacuuming under lounge cushions, report stains to blankets, etc. Ask your cleaner to tick off the items during their clean prior to guest arrival and SMS you a photo when complete. Allow your guests to see who cleaned the property and a contact number for anything missed for you to monitor.

In your checklist, identify potential safety hazards for the cleaner to attend to such as; removing the lint from the clothes dryer filter to avoid a house fire.

If there were a house fire, who will be accountable? What 'loop holes' might the insurance company have available to them in terms of rejecting your claim? The guest for not cleaning the lint filter to the clothes dryer that had a sign advising to clean after each use? The cleaner for not cleaning the lint filter? The home owner for not meeting the Short Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) Fire Safety Laws under NSW Planning? Or, the home owner not taking the necessary steps as part of an owner's due diligence to minimise harm to their guests and damage to the property?

SECURING YOUR BOND REFUND WITHOUT DELAY

Posted on 28/01/2022

Have you ever wondered what your Property Manager might find on your exit inspection? An unclean oven, cockroaches, walls "knocked around" etc. The answer to this common question lies within the Entry Condition Report prior to vacating. However, how many people will take the time to read this vital piece of information prior to their exit inspection?

Having done thousands of vacate inspections in my time, and, five this week alone, here are the top 5 qualities of successful vacating tenants -

1. They are receptive to the 'tools' and advice provided to them prior to vacating to prepare for their exit inspection.

2. They're highly organised individuals who co-ordinate the myriad of tasks and tradespeople at hand with precision.

3. They use the right trades for the right job. If their bond cleaner doesn't normally do windows or walls they will hire a window cleaner or a bond cleaner who can accommodate their needs.

4. They set the appropriate time aside to prepare their property and are not trying to cut corners and costs that might cost them more on vacating.

5. They check the work of their cleaners and trades against their Entry Condition Report prior to vacating to ensure they haven't missed anything.

CHANGE-OVERS

Posted on 15/11/2021

Reinstating a property on vacating is a skill. In preparation of the exit inspection, tenants are carrying out the job of a Property Manager; ascertaining the right trades to assist, coordinating and checking trades, juggling a myriad of other unrelated problems and jobs whilst dealing with the property at hand, critical thinking, using time management effectively whilst attempting to keep all parties happy.

Our aim is to ‘flip’ a property within 48hrs of a tenant vacating as landlord’s prefer to minimise on their vacancy in between tenancies.

These days, I carry a 'toolbox' on vacate inspection to attend to anything on the spot that may affect our ability to ‘flip’ the property within 48hrs. The challenge here is that you never know exactly what you need to get done in that 48hrs as the majority of it is the tenant's responsibility prior to vacating.

On the last exit we; unscrewed the oven light bulb to replace so that we could see what we're inspecting, unscrewed the oven side racks so that the tenant could take these home to clean with the grill tray (that the bond cleaner missed), re-clip window fly screens back in place, remove air con filters to wash, spot clean and take photos. Owner maintenance was then booked, building wash-down completed within 24hrs, checking and labelling keys, bond cleaner back to attempt to remove stains to carpets, air con service booked, handyman booked, virtual tour completed, Entry Condition Report completed, photos, 3M's on walls for air con remotes, regularly updating the owner, paperwork for new tenants and paperwork for old tenants. Although this may seem like a breeze, keep in mind it can take years of practice for this to run smoothly whilst juggling up to 100 other properties being managed simultaneously.

It's extremely rewarding when all parties work together to achieve a common goal. I feel really proud of how hard everyone worked on this last one. It shows the high level of skill they have in executing what can take years of practice reinstating a property within a very small window of opportunity. The cycle then starts again where new tenants arrive and just as the vacating tenant hopes they’ve done everything they could to avoid a complaint – the Property Manager hopes they have also for the new tenants arriving.

MARKET ACTIVITY

Posted on 14/07/2021

When it comes to property management, leasing and market activity are hot topics! Whether you’re looking in from the side-lines or in the thick of it as a tenant or landlord, we all have a vested interested in what’s going on around us.

Covid has no doubt created mass panic, uncertainty, angst and caused loved neighbours, friends and family to pack up and leave towns where they have resided for many years as our demographic shuffle continues. There’s also the other side of the coin, where Covid has brought life changing opportunities to investors and vendors. Keep in mind that when an investor purchases a property with an average price tag of $1M+, they will naturally be seeking to ensure the return on their investment is viable. Keep a watch on sales!

So, will the market go backwards? Pre Covid, and, during Covid the market continues to naturally fluctuate up and down throughout the year, only due to Covid the fluctuations aren’t as far between anymore. At present it’s almost on a monthly basis. This is why engaging in a leasing specialist is so crucial. It can be risky formulating a leasing plan based on hype alone or being an ‘outsider’ looking in. Without relevant insights into market behaviour, experience in leasing and awareness of these natural fluctuations, your property could be sitting vacant costing you thousands in potential income.

Although record high rents were achieved over the summer period, summer traditionally performs well regardless. Does this mean we price properties at summer rates all year round? No, we don’t. This is risky. You need to know the market in each town well as they all perform differently and attract varying types of demographic. For many years now, Kingscliff has been known to attract entrepreneurs and business owners working from home – it’s not surprising Covid has boosted their presence. During Covid the natural fluctuations in rents are more frequent – month to month. When I’m appraising a property right now, it’s valid for 30 x days then we re-assess. The property is priced to generate the number of applications required that will achieve the type of tenants a landlord is seeking. A high performing leasing specialist not only watches listing prices online to achieve this (www.realestate.com.au), they will look at behind the scenes analytics and tools that give insight into what’s really happening. Remember, an over-inflated appraisal sounds great on paper, however, this will cost you in the long run! Will it generate enough applications to secure your ‘perfect tenant', or, leave you with one application to choose from that statistically won’t be the high quality of tenant you’re looking for?

Assumptions in property management can also lead to costing you thousands of dollars. Unless you know what deals have been had behind closed doors (if any), it’s wise not to assume that the advertised price of a property was what the agent achieved when it was removed from advertising. The agent could have achieved higher than the asking price or considerably lower. Ask agents what they are achieving and if this secured a quality tenant - don’t leave it for assumptions.

Another crucial factor that an experienced leasing specialist will advise as part of your leasing strategy is to take into account the variables that will result in you achieving the ‘perfect tenant’. If your property is not pet friendly, you are excluding an average 25% of the market who has a pet – how will this impact you to lease the property and by reducing the demand will you achieve the highest price? If you have a particular type of tenant you’re seeking, does this demographic exist or will you need to price the property accordingly reflecting the narrowing of the demographic you’re targeting? How quickly do you want to lease the property whilst waiting for the ‘perfect tenant’? Are your concerns or assumptions that a particular tenant may do $1000 in damage worth the property sitting vacant @ $1000p/w for weeks on end? An experienced professional property manager can address these concerns. If your property sits vacant for 4 x weeks @ $1000p/w because the applicants are ticking 9 out of 10 check boxes from your list of preferences and not 10 out of 10 then is this worth the $4000 loss waiting? Speak to a leasing specialist about your concerns - their experience is invaluable.

Going back to the start of Covid, properties are still performing better than they had pre Covid, and, due to our demographic shuffle, future development and planned infrastructure - I believe this won’t change. If you’re unsure whether to take the plunge to upgrade, downsize or relocate from another state – now could not be a better time!

LET'S CHAT MOULD

Posted on 10/04/2021

After all the rain we've had, you may notice mould around the home. For me personally, it's shown up on; external garden pavers, rocks in the gardens, spots to gutters and external timbers. As soon as the sun comes out I'll be getting the Gerni out to ensure these areas are clean and safe. I don't have any mould inside, however, every property and area is different and used differently.

There are many causes around the home that are conducive to mould. You may find; specks of black mould behind your curtains (particularly sheer fabric), yellow mould behind timber doors or to the lower area of walls like built-ins where there's poor or no ventilation, ceilings in bathrooms where a high level of moisture is present, grout between shower tiles or patches of black mould to your internal ceilings that may indicate a water leak. What’s most important is that you report any concerns to your Property Manager so that they can assist yourself and/or the landlord to resolve any issues that can escalate quickly, cause damage or present a risk to your health.

There are two fact sheets we find very useful when assisting tenants or landlords dealing with mould issues. They cover; cleaning, understanding the cause of mould, what you can do to prevent it, health concerns, your responsibilities as a tenant and what the landlord is responsible for. They’re an informative read for any tenant, landlord or owner occupier.

So what sort of things can you do to assist in the prevention of mould? There is an extensive range of cleaning products from Bunnings - https://bit.ly/3uDlIMV and Woolworths - https://bit.ly/3wGWTBJ including products that prevent water sitting on your shower glass and tiles - https://bit.ly/3tb146A or The Good Guys - https://bit.ly/3uEDEXu If you would prefer not to clean general mould (where it is your responsibility), you may like to pay a professional cleaner to attend to this for you.

Most of all, enjoy the sunshine today.

SURVIVING A HOT MARKET

Posted on 14/01/2021

Not only is the rental market hot right now, it's savvy as well though no more savvy than it's been the past 7yrs or more. The intensity right now is driven by the back-log of the market being held up last year due to Covid, compacted by the traditional summer demand and with the additional sea-changers having the opportunity to now work from home.

Pre-Covid, the existence of tenants working from home filling our coastal towns has always been noticeably evident, particularly more so now that businesses have experienced that employees can work from home successfully. Businesses have had to remodel their operations to suit our new way of working life and where some may have been years from reaching this milestone, they have triumphantly fast-tracked to the new corporate world on the cloud as we know it today. I myself had switched over to a paperless, cloud based, electronic delivery of Property Management service many years prior to Covid. Even with an office as a base, working remotely from home was more productive. I believe we will sustain this way of life and it will continue to play a major impact into what will be the greatest 'shuffle around' of the market we have ever seen.

So how can you stand out from the crowd? The following may assist you, or, give you a little insight to secure your piece of paradise –

•Check www.realestate.com.au morning and night – I find sometimes the REA alerts I sign up for are slow to hit my inbox.

•Log into 1Form the online application portal and ensure your applications and associated documents are up to date as prospective tenants are offering to submit applications prior to inspections. As eagerly as you are to lease the property, agents and landlords are just as eager to process the first applications received which are 100% completed.

•If an agent invites you to lodge an application prior to inspection – take that opportunity! If someone has taken the time to apply, the landlord or agent may take the time to put them in front of your general enquiry to "inspect the property".

•Contact every agent in the area you are searching in to enquire about their application process so that you are prepared to act quickly.

•Be aware that applicants sometimes offer rent in advance or rent higher than the advertised price. They are allowed to freely offer – however, agents are not permitted to ask.

•Rather than ticking a box on www.realestate.com.au to “inspect the property”, why not add a little about yourself in the comments box as well? Agents see this! It helps to screen through what the landlord is seeking.

•When you submit an application, make contact within 24hrs to check this is received by the Property Manager. I’ve had applicants wondering why they haven’t heard anything however their application wasn’t lodged properly therefore not received.

•When you see a property you’re interested in, always lodge an online enquiry straight away. When I’m going through enquiries, I will go through them in the order that they’re received whilst screening for what the landlord is seeking.

• If you have a long list of preferences and are on a deadline, you may need to accept that the perfect property ticking every item on your list won't manifest within your timeframe. Instead, alternative opportunities that present themselves could be seen as stepping stones to where you want to be long term particularly if you are relocating from overseas or interstate.

•If you’re having difficulty securing a property due to having a dog, perhaps include dated close up photos of the lawns and gardens from the last property you resided in and attach these with your application.

Try to stay positive.

CHOOSING YOUR TRADES

Posted on 28 July, 2020 at 23:05

In the last 20yrs, from Pottsville to Kingscliff, we have seen considerable growth in both the residential and commercial sectors of the market. Development, population and tourism have all boomed. I’ve seen full cycles of the market over the course of living and working in the area. With this substantial growth comes a high demand for quality tradespeople, and, a flood of new tradespeople to the coast with a range of specialist skills. This is where a knowledgeable, experienced Property Manager can take the stress out of your property projects to ensure you are meeting your goals on budget and on time. There’s a catch though, the tradespeople a Property Manager chooses might meet their standards, however, will they meet yours? These are often worlds apart particularly if you have the time to invest in projects and maintenance for your investment property, but they don’t.

Recommendations sourced from the internet or social media for tradespeople can be very helpful, however, a recommendation will only ever be as good as the expectations of the person suggesting the trade. How do you know that your expectations of quality and workmanship, cost and timeline match the level of expectation to that of a stranger referring to the trade? There are key questions to ask your trade that an experienced Property Manager can assist you with to avoid disappointment.

For many years good quality, skilled and reasonably priced tradespeople in the area can 'pick and choose' who they work for as a result of the demand. They are so incredibly busy that not even the current pandemic has slowed down their workloads. Having a solid rapport with your tradespeople is important – they are just as an integral part of your property management team as the employees working within a real estate agency. After all, the tradespeople willing to work on your investment properties have a major impact on your bottom line. Choosing a professional Property Manager with high standards and an in-depth knowledge of repairs and maintenance will complement the trades to match. It’s a win win for the long-term preservation of your investment property along with the quality of tenants your property will attract as a result of these choices.

KC engages in trades who are; highly skilled, reasonably priced, responsive, communicate well with tenants and local where possible. I’ve used the same; garage door company, blind cleaning company, Electrician, Handyman, Communications Specialist, pool company and carpet cleaner for the last 13yrs +.

Property Managers and tradespeople are very similar. Sometimes you’ll find the perfect trade who is a sole trader with a relatively small boutique customer base, or, they will form part of a larger company where you are borderline just another ‘number’. When you do find that one good person that ticks every box for your investment property - stick with them.

SWITCHING TO A NEW AGENT

Posted on 28 July, 2020 at 20:45

For many years now, where a landlord is dissatisfied with their managing agent, there is usually a clause in their agreement that provides for them to cease management. The grounds of which notice can be given will also be found in the Managing Agency Agreement. It will outline typically 30 or 60 days notice where the agent can give the landlord notice to cease management, or, the landlord can give the managing agent notice to cease management. This can be carried out anytime during the management regardless of whether there is a fixed term or periodical tenancy in place, or, if the property is vacant.

The managing agent of whom notice has been given to is not entitled to know where or who a landlord decides to switch their business to including if they wish to manage it themselves. In some cases however, this can be beneficial.

During the notice period to cease management, this is the perfect time to discuss your property management goals and expectations with your new managing agent in the preparation of handover.

The change in management of your investment property is a simple process. The Residential Tenancy Agreement remains intact - a new agreement is not required. This is a legally binding agreement between a landlord and a tenant - the agent merely facilitates this agreement including advising the tenant of the change-over. The new agent receives a copy of the tenant file including Entry Condition Report, photos, keys to the property and any other pertinent information that belongs with the tenancy to continue managing the property. The bond is transferred to the new agent via NSW Rental Bonds. This is triggered by the landlord having given notice to cease management, and, the old agent signing off on the release. The new managing agent can then register the bond to be held in their name on behalf of the landlord.

You see making the switch is easy, the question is, are you willing to make that one phone call to start the balling rolling so that you can then kick back and relax?

CHOOSING A HIGH PERFORMING PROPERTY MANAGER

Posted on 20 July, 2020 at 2:30

According to the latest statistics, Kingscliff has taken center stage during the month of May 2020 with 12,621 rent searches and 182,725 buy searches online. This isn't surprising considering that in the 12 months prior to Covid19, rent had increased by approximately 20% due to demand in comparison to the previous year.

These latest statistics, along with restrictions during Covid19, support what's been evident for many years - that we are an online society in a thriving market where not having an office is seen as a disadvantage particularly for leasing. In fact, there are many aspects of property management that are improved when you engage in an agent who delivers a 'mobile' service. Meeting tenants at the property for hand over when they commence tenancy is one of them.

Leasing can be a complex task. It's not as easy as taking a few cheap photos, throwing any price on then wait to see what happens. There are many key components of planning to take into consideration. This all comes from having experience in what works and what doesn't with a variety of demographics. I have lived and worked from Pottsville to Kingscliff since 2005. Over the years, I've become familiar with my point of difference in comparison to other agents. I'm aware of this because prospective tenants are happy to compliment me on this difference. With this in mind, choosing a high performing Property Manager isn't just about leasing - when the price is right and the market is there then that's the easy part of property management.

So, if the market is there, the price is right and a high quality tenant is secured quickly then what next? That takes care of about 60% of setting yourself and your property up to succeed but what about the rest? Are you engaging in a Property Manager who will continue to perform throughout the tenancy? Will the tenant and yourself be serviced in a way that promotes property preservation and growth? Take your ambitions a step further than leasing your property at a great price. Embrace the non-traditional ways of property management that facilitate those subtle differences positively impacting on your bottom line. Leasing is just the start of having a successful high performing investment property.

Happy leasing! KC

TOP 4 LANDLORD MIS-CONCEPTIONS

Posted on 24 October, 2019 at 23:00

1. Ever heard the saying “no news is good news?" That’s not always the case in Property Management! There’s a multitude of reasons why you may not hear from your Property Manager, such as -

• Ceased employment, (yes it’s a high turnover industry sadly!).

• They've reached a point where they’re so overloaded they just haven’t had the time to let you know the hot water system has been leaking.

• Tenant requests have been disappearing into a ‘black hole’.

• Lack of care to proactively work with your tenant to keep up to date with what’s happening at your property.

Unless you trust your Property Manager 100%, no news is not always good news.

2. It’s very common in the real estate industry for an unhappy Vendor or Landlord to give notice to cease management, or, to enter into an open listing to sell. For Property Management, you’re never ‘stuck’ with your agent. Management Agency Agreements provide a clause where you can give notice to cease management – this is usually 30 x days. Whether you have an existing fixed term Residential Tenancy Agreement in place has no impact on your right to cease management.

The Residential Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding agreement between the tenant and landlord, not the tenant and agency, therefore it can be transferred to new management easily.

3. I’ve leased properties to a wide demographic of both low-socioeconomic, and, high end of the market tenants. In my experience, there are good quality tenants in every demographic and price range. Having an experienced Property Manager with stringent application processes in place, and a high level of service to offer, will dictate the quality of tenant. The quality of tenant is never dictated by your asking price.

4. When making service comparisons between agencies on the regularity of the routine inspections of your property, ensure you base your decision on the experience of the Property Manager carrying out these inspections. Ask yourself -

• If the maximum of four inspections being offered per year is simply a marketing plan to secure your business?

• Will the Property Manager appointed to do these be highly qualified, and, genuinely concerned your property is being cared for?

The regularity of routine inspections are best customised to suit; location of the property, tenant in residence and the age of the property in relation to repairs and maintenance.

TOP 5 PROPERTY TENANT MISCONCEPTIONS

Posted on 21 August, 2019 at 22:10

The landlord is responsible for pest control during the tenancy - false.

• As a general guide, if pests are present on your arrival; i.e cockroaches, spiders and fleas then it is a landlord’s responsibility.

• During tenancy it is generally a tenant’s responsibility.

• Don’t forget, certain cockroaches (i.e. German Cockroaches) love to wreak havoc on the fine electrical components of dishwashers. They normally start in the kitchen so keep an eye out for any damage they might do.

I didn’t return my Entry Condition Report therefore I haven’t agreed or disagreed to anything - false.

• As an Additional Term, where the landlord in compliance with the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 provides the tenant with a signed Entry Condition Report, and, the tenant has not returned it within 7 x days of receipt then the tenant will be deemed to have accepted the condition report.

• Don’t get caught out on vacating – have your say at the start so there are no surprises in the end.

I don’t have a lease anymore, it expired - false.

• Unless either party gives adequate notice, (in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act 2010) in the lead up to the lease expiring then the lease automatically falls into a periodic agreement.

• All the same conditions apply until the agreement is terminated, or, a new agreement is entered into.

My dog only lived outside and didn’t have fleas therefore I don’t need a flea treatment on vacating - false.

• Residential Tenancy Agreements will provide a clause stating that the tenant agrees to have carpets professionally cleaned and property fumigated where animals have been kept on the residential premises regardless.

• Ensuring the property is sufficiently fumigated, along with proof of receipt, gives the landlord and the next tenant peace of mind.

If anything is missed in preparation for my exit inspection I am automatically entitled to go back - false.

• Never assume you will be automatically entitled to access a property once possession is given.

• During the exit inspection “If the agent or landlord raises something that is minor, you may be able to deal with it on the spot” Source: NSW Fair Trading.

• Speak with your agent prior to your exit inspection about any queries on fair wear and tear or damage you’re not sure about.

• Good, open communication between all parties prior to your exit inspection will pave the way for a speedy bond refund.

Happy renting :)

CHOOSING THE AGENT WHO IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Posted on 6 July, 2019 at 13:00

Choosing the right agent to manage your investment property can be one of the most nerve-wracking decisions you will make in real estate. Will the agent you choose share the same level of care you have toward your property? How will your property look in 5yrs time under their management?

You may decide to base your decision from an emotional perspective allowing the selling agent to manage your property as your purchasing experience was a positive one. Or, you base your decision on the performance of the managing agent. Basing your decision on the performance of the managing agent is a good start. But how do you siphon through the number of agents battling for your business? We're here to assist by arming you with some questions that will form a solid comparison of service.

Let's start with the most common question prospective clients ask - commission. The old saying you get what you pay for truly applies here. A high performing, hard working and diligent agent is worth spending the extra 1-2% commission on. After all, it will be the experience and quality of service delivery from that agent who will save you money and heartache throughout the management. Property management involves a great deal of logic, common sense and interpretation of the law. You don't want to be dealing with an agent who can't execute this (for your own sanity if anything else!).

In larger offices, you may have a BDM (Business Development Manager) whose sole purpose is to secure your business. Ensure you meet or have the opportunity to speak with the person who will directly be liaising with you on a day-to-day basis. Ultimately, the success of your property will rely on the individual agent who is appointed as the main person in charge. This is the person you should speak with.

Never assume agents holding certain positions within an agency have the appropriate qualifications, experience or registrations. Ask your agent how long they've been practicing property management for. Are they suitably qualified with the appropriate registrations required? Give them a couple of hypothetical complex situations and ask how they would handle those situations. I've seen new people enter the industry and on their first day they're suddenly a "Specialist". Your agent could be someone who has never done a day of property management in their life. They could have been a cleaner prior to the job who thought property management would be a glamorous position. They could have been a tenant with also no experience, rising out of the woodwork claiming they'll 'give it a go'. In my experience, the average portfolio a property manager is responsible for, predominately on their own, is around 50 - 100 properties minimum. Allowing someone to manage a large portfolio with no experience or adequate training is like asking a plumber to carry out the work of a builder. Why settle for the plumber when you can have the builder!

Agencies manage their portfolio in different ways. How the portfolio is managed will have a direct impact on you, your investment and your bottom line. It is a good idea to ask if the portfolio is a POD structure - where various people are working together toward a common goal, you! You might deal with one person for maintenance, or, another for rent, or, another for lease renewals. Property management requires precision in communication. This is where a POD structure can either be a well oiled machine delivering excellence in customer service, or, a ticking time bomb. My experience has been managing all aspects of the portfolio. Having one property manager dealing with all aspects of the portfolio in my opinion works best. Providing that the appropriate support systems are in place for that person.

If you are dealing with an experienced property manager, they won't mind discussing their triumphs with you. Hopefully, you will share these triumphs if this is the agent you decide to sign up with. Personally, I find leasing and resolving disputes the most rewarding (in the end!). Ask your agent what was one of the most rewarding triumphs they've had recently and what impact did that have on the client.

I've worked with and know some of the best property managers in the industry, (if you're reading this you know who you are!). I've also seen the worst. Don't be fooled by a shop front, job titles or buzz words in advertising that are just meaninglessness 'fluff' without any substance.

Choose wisely, you deserve the best.
