Dual Occupancy – A Flexible Solution for all your Real Estate Problems
Dual occupancy has become popular in Australian real estate for multiple reasons – by families and investors alike. These are also called multi-dwelling homes.
Though duplexes are the most popular type of Dual Occupancy in Australia, a lot of construction is done with totally independent walls for both units.
Whether you want to divide the family lot for multiple generations living under the same roof or want to earn rental income, dual occupancy gives you more flexible options.
Let’s see how Dual Occupancy is an increasingly preferred choice.
Dual Occupancy for Investment
- Same price as a normal house: Construction costs vary to a lesser degree.
- Passive income: rent one unit while you live in the other.
- Ideal for construction on corner blocks: both fronts get access to the road. This means maximized value you can command higher amounts as the rental will have a distinct look and not just feel like a small portion of the overall construction.
- No need for a body corporate: You can easily sell one part of the house, so you have quick access to cash when in a crunch.
