So you’ve taken the leap and started managing your own rental property—go you! But here’s the thing: self-managing might feel like you're saving money… until it doesn't.

We speak to landlords all over the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney who started off strong, only to find themselves tangled in overdue rent, confusing laws, or surprise tenant drama. That’s why we created this free, straight-talking guide: 7 Mistakes Self-Managing Landlords Make—a quick-read eBook packed with practical tips, real-life scenarios, and what to do instead.
