What an Opportunity! What an Opportunity!
FREE Circulation 30,000 ISSUE 9, 2015 Community News Success through difference What an Opportunity! Last year over 1000 people enjoyed The Idea of North’s classic performance at the Albury Botanic Gardens. The ARIA winning (best jazz album) a cappella singing group is returning to Albury Wodonga on 23 October 2015. This time with a difference - YOU can be a part of a choir that sings live with them at their concert. The Idea of North are a nationally and internationally renowned jazz group who perform as a quartet and have worked with such greats as Manhattan Transfer, James Morrison and Kaichiro Kitamura. In short, they’re a quartet of musicians, serious about their music without taking themselves too seriously. They have a beautifully distinct sound and style, but they cross many musical genres: jazz, folk, gospel, pop, classical, comedy - exactly what you will see and hear at the concert is difficult to describe. We are confident you will be entertained. Come to MAMA MAMA will open its doors to the public on Friday 2 October at 12pm. Part of Dean Street will be closed for what will be the biggest celebration Albury has seen. There will be international performers, live music, food vans, major projection works and public artwork in QEII Square. MAMA director Jacqui Hemsley said entry to MAMA would be free on opening weekend and continue to be free - except for major touring exhibitions. But people will need to book to enter MAMA on opening day because of the expected demand. Details of how to book will be announced in early September. The full opening celebration program will also be announced in early September. The Rotary Club of Albury North, The Murray Conservatorium and The Scots School Albury together with Sponsor Partners, are pleased to bring this internationally famous group to conduct a choir workshop on Friday 23 October from 4.00 to 5:30pm. The choir will be limited to 100 people who will perform with The Idea of North during the second half of their concert from 7.00 – 9:30pm at The Scots School Albury Chapel Hall. This event provides community access to some of the world’s best vocal trainers, a world-class concert and will also help raise essential funds for the Wewak Special School music programme hosted by The Murray Conservatorium.

Believe it or not, sometimes we acquire property that has not had a rental increase in years! ROTARY COMMUNITY MARKET Myra Bloomfield - Director Drummond Real Estate - Rentals Some owners could argue that they have great tenants, who look after the property as if it were their own and, what’s more, they never have a vacancy. Unfortunately, because of these reasons they feel obliged to keep the rent at the same rate. For heaven’s sake, this is your investment property and your future! Don’t give away your rightful income just because your tenants are nice. If you have great tenants, and you love them - reward them! Give them a week’s free rent at Christmas or gold class tickets to movies. Tenants, just like employees love recognition and rewards for great work. OK, so you never have a vacancy you say. Would you move if you knew you were onto a good thing because you had cheap rent? If your tenant should be paying $320 per week and is only paying $270 per week - why would they move? Here’s an example of the impact renting your property at below market rent could have: If your property is $50 below market rent, $50 x 52 weeks =$2600 per year x 4 years = $10,400. Just remember you haven’t saved these dollars, your tenant has! And another thing, what happens when you decide to sell? If an investor was looking to buy your property, you may be forced to sell thousands of dollars below the asking price because the rental income figures don’t stack up. More dollars lost. If your property manager is not watching the market closely and working to see that your investment is performing to its full potential, you could be losing thousands of dollars and not even know it. You could be hoodwinked into thinking everything is running smoothly. Don’t think for a minute just because your property manager is nice, and appears on the surface to be doing a good job that you don’t have to worry. Nice is fine, but shouldn’t you be looking for a property manager who is great at their job and understands the market? One who is looking to get you the best possible tenant with the best returns?
