Separation changes the way the property works

The Duplex — Mini Subdivision series has several options for builds:

 

  • Build one to live in and one 5 bedroom rooming house to rent
  • Rent both the residential and the 5 bedroom rooming house
  • Build 2 rooming houses side by side


Live in one and rent the other. This is another version of our Living Mortgage Free series. Check this out on our Living Mortgage Free page.


Build a residence on one side and a rooming house on the other and rent them both.


Build 2 rooming houses side by side and double the rent. This option is the one we have given in our "Walk The Two Rooming House Plan". You can take a walk through the plan of a duplex rooming house that has already been built.


If any of these options are for you just click the "Ask Us About The Duplex", leave us a message and we will be in touch. Otherwise give us a call.


Subject to planning, subdivision and servicing requirements, the two-title approach may also provide greater flexibility in financing, management and future ownership. The Smarter Smaller Home™ component remains purpose-designed for individual residents rather than being adapted from a conventional family dwelling.

Why it works

A substantially separate home and a 5 mini home investment. This is another option for owning your own home while having rents assist in paying the mortgage. It is a ground floor design but also creates space between your home and your investment.

A site-specific development model

Lot dimensions, access, parking, services, subdivision rules, construction costs and local planning requirements will determine whether this concept can be delivered. A feasibility review is essential before relying on any indicative room count, cost or return.
