man is it just me or are rental properties scarse at the moment?

we just moved and whilst looking for places we were looking at a unit in teneriffe and there was 21 different people at the inspection!

Rental properties are at an all time low at the moment according to the experts which means that rental prices are being driven up higher then normal and the sheer volume of people turning up to the inspections is crazy.

My tips for securing a rental when there are loads of applicants are as follows:

1. Dress like your going to a fancy resturant (appearance matters)

2. Download or pickup a rental application form prior to inspecting the premises and have it filled out and ready to hand in if you like the place you are inspecting.

3. If you like the place, drive to the real estate agent immediately after inspection and hand in the application.

4. On the rental application form it states the amount of rent to pay, add $5 per week or $10 per week to the amount and you can almost count on getting the place.

5. Often forgotten by many people I have seen at real estate agents, be polite and speak well. Slang expressions and a lack of respect for the staff at a real estate can make all the difference.

Terry,

I assume you have looked online @ www.realestate.com.au ?

one place we looked at, i turned up dressed in my clinical clothes which is shirt and tie, even had on my boss cufflinks and tie clip for htat extra bling..

we said immediately that we liked it and took a form, then dropped it off that afternoon

the next day we found out that we didn't get it, purely because they had so many applications handed in that day (and i'm a student so that makes it that little bit harder)

we only ended up getting a place because we downloaded the application form before we went (as said in the post above) and handed it in at the inspection. that, and it was listed at 9am and we were looking in it at 10am ;)

Just an update in my hunt, I have viewed over a dozen properties now and for my price the quality is quite low but the so called ques arent there, one or two others looking with one property it was 3, but it is the agents themselves that are making it hard, they dont seem to give a rats arse about when i would like to look it's thier time or no time.

Thanks for the tips guys and wish me luck.

ya, we were trying for ages then we just added 10bucks on to the set price and we got it.

Thats just BS ;) My brother in Melbourne speaks of very similar circumstances, he couldn't work out why he kept getting knocked back for new places :(

When Marc and I were looking to move, we found places we liked, filled in the forms ready to hand in and then turned up to the inspections. I made him get all dressed up too :wave:

Also another tip for when you complete your forms, is to use the BEST handwriting you can. Make extra copies of the forms and practice filling them in (bit pedantic but meh). Get your girlfriend, wife, mum, sister etc to fill in the forms if need be. If the moron at the real estate office can't read your handwriting you'll never get a break.

this reminds me of Sydney pre 2000 Olympics...

turn up at an inspection with 50 punters.

have a quick look at the place, then drive like Schumacher back to the agent to get your form & deposit in.

In Sydney it was first to fill in the form & pay the deposit, wins the place (win? - pays a sh!t load for a crap house doesn't = win)

IF you have to put your form in at the agent's office & being 1st matters - work with a mate.

you go to the inspection, your mate waits for your phone call at the agents office. this worked well back in Syd.

good luck mate!

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By wizlb · Posted

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
