In most jurisdictions operators are required to be licensed and to operate a regulated trust account. For example, in Queensland resident managers must obtain a Resident Letting Agent’s License via the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). There are certain licensing educational requirements which must be met prior to the license being granted. Study for the prescribed modules is available via several training bodies as either classroom or remote learning. The modules are not difficult and can be completed in a 5 day course if necessary. An application to operate a trust account is also required to be lodged via the OFT. Without an OFT approval banks are not permitted to allow a resident manager to operate a trust account.
Legislation such as the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act and the Body Corporate and Community Management Act provide reliable legal frameworks for operators within the industry and underpin industry confidence going forward.

I have had the privilege of dealing with Paul Grant at Mike Phipps Finance for the purchase of a Quest re-sale.
I must admit that it is a very rare day that I can say that my experience has categorically exceeded my expectations. I say this with considerable industry experience in Banking and Finance having worked across three Australian Banking Corporations over 18 years, and another five years leading accommodation businesses dealing with numerous financers.
If you are looking to find a business partner that has deep industry understanding that will add value to your journey, then I could not recommend anyone else.
In fact, I look forward to conducting more business with Paul and Mike Phipps Finance as they are the No 1 operator in the industry. Thank you for all your time and support.
