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!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
