...From time to time we have property managers who appears on PT and advise us that they are only too happy to help us in any way they can.
I usually invite them to comment on tenant issues that PT members are experiencing and hope the new pm can give us some guidance.
Of course, the new pm gets frightened and never replies and never gives any wise advice to us struggling landlords...
Well, at least you gave us some replies - well done.

One morning Pat wakes up and decides to post a harmless message on this site that looked ominiously like unsubtle touting for business; before the day's end he's been knocked about but is still standing; by the following morning he's addicted; and before he sits down for afternoon tea he's had a thread named in his honour.
The next day after breakfast the thread is locked.
So that was Pat Allen.
Bit of a shame it ended that way. I would have like to discuss in more depth his 'big picture' approach to property management.
Pat seems to respond to being baited, and some of our more time-rich friends seem to be enjoying baiting him.
However, since this discussion is becoming personal about Pat, and nothing (well, very little) about PI, I'm going to lock the thread until the mods have had a chance to discuss what (if any) action or actions to take.

Actions to be taken are still under discussion.

Why was it locked? What breach of the rules took place? And who started the thread with his name as the title? I thought Pat had started giving some proper PI comment and some of what some people might call baiting was starting to die down.
The bottom line is that Pat was toutin for business and he started doing it in a tasteless way. He was picked up on that as he deserved to be and after the initial jossling for position everybody was starting to move on to pastures new.
It is alleged Pat Allen is associated with RM. Check his website.
He has an "interesting history" and for their safety, and to their credit, PT obviously wanted to dissipate anything that could dissolve into RM bashing, so culled this off the other thread so when it got too hot, was not associated.
There is enough interest in the thread that is specific to that subject.
Mr. Allen obviously was not too happy with the high profile and degree of attention he was suddenly rewarded with.

For your information, Mr Allen questioned why the thread was locked, as he was 'enjoying himself'. However, the thread deteriorated in to a slanging match and so was locked. This thread, and any other thread, will also be locked if they go the same way.
Ok I have just read all the threads on Pat Allen ... what is wrong with people these days? I can't believe the things I have read about this man. I happen to know members in his family and they are very nice people whom have helped me aot in my investing decisions. How can people in todays society be so rude. Leave the poor guy alone from the feedback I have received through investors, he does a great job and runs a well managed company. To comment on his physical appearance is low. Shows what kind of people you are. I am totally shocked by such childish behaviour. What a joke!

Hello mandi and welcome.
Good to see that you are still buying in these days of doubt. But, as they say, fortune favours the brave.
Please could you point to where the way Pat manages his company or the way that company manages the rental stock, was criticised. And where was it stated that Pat was anything but a nice person?
Thank you for your welcome. I am very happy with my present purchase in Mangere. I brought the property through a friend whom handed over the keys before UC and let me start reno's straight away with 0 deposit. Reno's will be completed before settlement. The property was purchased at $240,000 and valued up to $310,000 when reno's are completed will value up to $350,000. I will continue to buy if the numbers are right!
In relation to Pat..... I understand there was no criticism in relation to pats company etc..... However I was confused as to why there was a personal attack eg. Bald and fat..... I just thought this was a little unnecessary and put my 2 cents worth in. Morally speaking its just not really necessary. Lets all just get along and focus on what we are all here for... rubbing sholders with like minded people.... I am very new to this, and from what I have read so far.... I can say I have more knowledge than I had yesterday. I look forward to learning a whole lot more in the future from the knowledge that everyone beholds on this fourm.
Hi Guys
Finally had time to log on as I been busy with the start of major reno and of course normal work.
For record: I was not insulted or concerned or worried about any comment on PT in relation to me or my company. I was having great fun, and trying to help people at Blue Chip. My personal reputation and that I my company stands on 30 years of merit or not. Such as u see it. Gotta go V. busy.
