When the housing market continues to shift, so do home buyers' and investors' approaches to maximising value out of their property. Nationally we are seeing a demand in second dwellings and granny flats to cater for investors looking to increase the long and short-term value of their property and also cater for families looking to accommodate older children or grandparents.
Regardless of the motivation, if your land has the potential for a second dwelling or granny flat, it is worth exploring your options.
The first thing you'll need to do is check with your local council about zoning and planning regulations. There may be restrictions on how big or tall your secondary dwelling can be, or what materials you can use. Make sure you're aware of these restrictions before you start planning and designing your new space.
If you are looking to start your journey in building your real estate portfolio, a secondary dwelling is a low-risk endeavour compared to financing a secondary house and land package. A $100,000 - $150,000 investment may be the small yet significant step for you to start your investment portfolio whilst taking a low-risk investment whilst creating an instant revenue stream.
One of the significant benefits of a secondary dwelling is that they come with both short- and long-term financial opportunities.
The short-term benefits are financial gains received from renting out your second dwelling or granny flat. Creating a passive revenue stream is a fantastic opportunity to reduce your mortgage or create income through your property.
The long-term benefits are the increase of the value of your property. When it’s time to sell you now have increased the attraction for potential buyers as your property has potential for income.
