Nathan is an excellent property manager who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure his tenants have a stress-free living experience under Red Gum. We’ve had the pleasure of renting two properties through Red Gum, both of which have been outstanding in terms of maintenance, ease of dealing with staff, communication, and efficient conflict resolution. Nathan never fails to make sure any issues we have are handled promptly and appropriately. With his added words of wisdom and great sense of humour, he truly represents the highest standard of property management. Red Gum Real Estate will always be recommended to friends and family because of this experience. There are things money can’t buy, like hands-on experience, loyalty, respect for clients, and a friendly, welcoming presence and Nathan ticks all those boxes.

If you are considering renting out your property or an investment property here are what other investors are asking…
There are a number of ways to keep track of rent – you can:
The two variables are when the tenants pay the rent and when the agency forwards the rent to you.
Tenants are required to pay rent when it’s due. The agency you use will usually pay it forward to you monthly.
At Red Gum Property Management we pay it weekly.
Some owners like to pay the bills themselves while some like their property manager to pay the bills for them. This can easily be organised with the council or the body corporate.
The caveat here is to make sure you choose the right property manager before doing this. It will be their responsibility to make sure they receive and pay the bills on time every time.
A 12 months lease works for long term tenancies. This can change with individual circumstances. Twelve months is enough time for a tenant to feel they need to look after the property as their own and settle in.
However, it’s also not so long that it could affect rent increases or ending relationships that are just not working out.
In Queensland, you can only legally increase the rent once every 12 months. Rents move quickly so it’s advisable to assess what the rent is every 12 months.

Usually when we buy something we look at the price and can easily understand the set price. Property management fees are not as easy to understand but are very crucial to your financial future.

The average expectancy for a new property manager in Australia is 9 months. So behind the person you meet is an ever-changing array of staff. Quite like musical chairs.

Compliance is one of the trickiest parts of property management. There are a large amount of rules and regulations that apply to investment properties in QLD. Here are some of the main things that come up.
