One of Australia's leading Internet rental property directories has turned its attention to property maintenance with the launch of an innovative online solution it claims is a first for the commercial market. Rentfind, which offers free membership for investors to upload and maintain information on their properties, was launched in June last year by publicly listed Aussie Online and Internet service provider subsidiary Commerce Australia. Commerce Australia managing director Scott Wulff said the Online Maintenance System was a major technological step forward for property managers, and he believed it would be quickly taken up because there was nothing else like it in the market. The beauty of the system is that it could also be adapted for use by the country 200,000 private investment property owners.
