Recognition

Recently we received 2 awards. It was a real surprise as we have not been seeking these. The companies that awarded them to us, reached out, to let us know. For us our reward is just looking after our landlords and tenants the very best we can.

So while I am unsure about being the best I know we try to be the very best we can.

5 BIGGEST MISTAKES PROPERTY INVESTORS MAKE THAT COST THEM TENS OF THOUSANDS IN LOST PROFIT People buy an investment property for 1 reason. To build wealth. As a property investment specialist I’m constantly shocked at how property investors are losing 10’s of thousands of dollars investing in property that could easily be avoided. The thing is they just don’t realise it.   So here is my 5 biggest mistakes property investors make that cost them tens of thousands in lost profit   STOCK MARKET VS PROPERTY INVESTING Have you ever heard an investor who owns PHP shares say to you “PHP wanted to give me a $7,250 dividend this year, but I told them to keep it. It’s  OK they probably need it more than me”. Property investors do this all the time. “Oh they are good tenants.
