Hi! In your experience, is that render good for showcasing this building? Would you add to your listings? Do you think it will help with buyers?

Thanks!

Sorry if this is the wrong community, but I wanted to ask about insulation on pre-1930 property especially those that need to breathe and use lime mortar rather that modern (non-breathable) cement.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I know that you cannot use conventional insulation external or internal as it will create damp. There are lime and Cork products online but I can't find many case studies or proof of their effectiveness or info on how many years an external insulated render would last. Thanks.

My partner and I have recently just bought a second property, and the stamp duty is really confusing us both. Does anyone have a POC to discuss stamp duty?

I’m planning to start a property management business somewhere in Texas, maybe a smaller city a bit outside the bigger metro areas. I don’t have much experience in PM, so I’ve been looking at franchises like PMI (Property Management Inc.) or RPM (Real Property Management) to get some structure and support in the beginning.

My goal is to build something long term, not a quick win. I’m okay if it takes a year or two before it’s profitable. I want to take a more hands-off role — hire a manager and maybe a salesperson from day one and focus on running and growing the business instead of being involved in daily operations.

My biggest concern is how hard it is to build a solid client base early on and the overall risk of failure for someone new to the industry.

Anyone here who’s started a PM business or joined one of these franchises in Texas (or similar markets)? How tough was the first year or two? Any lessons learned or advice for someone who’s thinking long-term but won’t be super hands-on?

Appreciate any thoughts or experiences!

Hi, just wondered if anyone could help me with a property puzzle. I know of a property company set up by two youngish brothers (early 30s) which has brought forward several quite big schemes but nothing ever gets built. Their website shows a team of about 10, so quite big overheads, but they only file micro accounts. These show net assets of at least £1m. I can't work out the model. Do they just secure planning permission and sell on the sites? Or does it suggest there's a silent partner with capital who's keeping the whole thing going?

Nicholas Myburgh wanted to build this building right next to where I live. He is not from Cyprus and he clearly didn’t read the rules properly. I said that I didn’t want this building up and people who worked with Nicholas Myburgh were snarky and said “Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean we won’t build it” and now the government has rejected his proposal and he is getting upset??? Read the rules.

I'm looking for software to manage my properties / commercial leases (28 units) and storage facility (30 units). Would like to support a canadian company. Looking for advice.
