G’day Struggs and Scotty – neither of you will be surprised when I say that I concur absolutely with everything that you’ve each said!
Right now 22 of the Units in my Plan are permanently rented (80%) and 7 are for sale, so I’m constantly fending-off Property Managers (and I use the term “manager” loosely), Real Estate Agents, and Investor-Owners who all want the Owners Corporation to pay for simply everything!
Why? Well the Property Managers want to justify their tenuous existence by not spending any of their Clients’ rent money, the Real Estate Agents want their properties dressed-up to get a sale, and the Investors want all of the above and more plus no increases in their Levy Contributions.
And who do they all hate? Yep…. little old me, who does absolutely everything that the Owners Corporation is supposed to do and which has been budgeted for, and absolutely nothing that’s it’s not responsible for, including the maintenance/repairs of common areas within Lots, the extent of which has been made worse because the Owners long ignored them, and now want me to jump through hoops because they’re selling!
Well I don’t jump – well at 198cm & 135kG not very well and not for long anyway
