Plz cross fingers the api is right and they like me because the place is perfect and I just want to have a home again,
Not me hitting f5 at 11pm
It’s up to three there is no way now, lol..
No word back. Full day of wild and weird inspections. I hope something not dire pops up as approved tomorrow
I wrote an extremely polite follow up email. 11 inspections Saturday. One today, Friday seems to not be a big inspection day.

@hacks4pancakes Oh! Does "inspections" mean someone went to see the place (not just looked at the page) and are poss competition for you? I thought somehow the landlords were inspecting you and I couldn't make it make sense. 😹
@calicoday you have to physically look at the place in person to be considered. That’s the number of people who did so, and then the number of people who followed up with an application.
Gordon Draper@hacks4pancakes In a highly competitive market, they don’t tell you and technically it’s prob illegal to rent auction, but if you offer a bit above the asking price you might get given the rental… or so I hear… I’ve never but I’ve been lucky in my rentals.
@gordondraper It’s illegal in Vic. I can and do offer prepaying tho
🦄Cyber Unicorn🦄@hacks4pancakes I think I only ever looked at places on weekends. I know mid week inspections are a thing as I had some when selling. But there wasn’t a lot of people coming to those comparatively.
@Cyber_Unicorn That’s why I’m hoping I have a shot at those
I love this, so I@hacks4pancakes Yeah Saturday is the big inspection day. Go mid-week if you can because that’s when they first appear on the market.
@jpm I hope it saves me taking whole days off to inspect on weekdays.
cafuego 🔭🤦🏼♂️@hacks4pancakes @jpm It eats into fancy breakfast time, though.
sortius@hacks4pancakes hopefully, but real estate agents here are lazy as shit for rentals. They all just want to sell
@sortius I want to give them my money 😥😢
@hacks4pancakes hehehe, one would think that's enough. Alas, it is not
@sortius @hacks4pancakes can’t say that has been my experience. Every rental real estate I’ve had to deal with got back to me quickly. Maybe that’s just Sydney.
@Cyber_Unicorn To be fair it’s been one day
@Cyber_Unicorn @hacks4pancakes yeh, definitely Sydney dude

But you've booked your PAX tickets for October, right?

G1N&T@hacks4pancakes that was my first shock when coming to Australia, you may have the money, but in the end the landlord has to like your application. It took me 4 weeks to get a decent place approved. Hope you have better luck
David PIt can take longer than 4 weeks. Especially now with very low vacancy rates.
I'm not trying to sound pessimistic, just realistic.
Or you could be really lucky and your first application is successful.
SomeGen@g1n @hacks4pancakes this matches my experience. It’s often taken a couple of weeks to even hear back before being offered a place.

nickapos@hacks4pancakes I have been in similar situations in Scotland. I wish you all the luck 🙂
Andy D@hacks4pancakes 🤞for a positive result
m0veax@hacks4pancakes all fingers crossed!
Jan Johannesson@hacks4pancakes
Yeah thats a plus one from me. GL!

The market is kind of brutal here, hopefully your job/career helps
@sortius I hated turning one down but it was an 1.5 hour commute and not … good.
@hacks4pancakes yeh, you do not want to do that. Anywhere near trams and trains is good
@sortius It was not. And it overlooked a brightly lit 7/11…
@hacks4pancakes oooh, convenience... 1.5hrs from work 😬
Ben Curthoys@hacks4pancakes I'm appreciating the accidental heart emoticon on the number of applications.
@bencurthoys Pleeeaae really be 2
dr_barnowl@dr_barnowl That would be a lot better for me -_- either way I hope that number is actually true and they like me enough to approve me.
@hacks4pancakes good luck!

casting bless to maximize luck.

Elias Mårtenson@hacks4pancakes does this mean you'll indeed have a place of residence before flying out of AU again?
@loke You’re insanely optimistic. I only applied for 9
