Build Your Property Investment (ROI)

Property Investment

Building a Granny Flat on your investment property will not only generate a second rental income, but increase your property value as well.

In NSW, it is permissible to rent out a granny flat for the purposes of generating a passive income. Depending on location, suburb and type of Granny Flat, you can expect an additional income of anywhere between $300-$700 per week!

Capital Growth

Since the new Affordable Housing SEPP was introduced in 2009, the vast majority of Granny Flats built have been for property investors looking to achieve a second rental income from their property.

Whether you have bought an investment property to flip or hold, building a Granny Flat is a fantastic way to increase your property’s value.

If your interest is to buy an investment property to generate long-term, passive income, having a Granny Flat means you can receive two rental payments from the one block!

For investors looking to flip a property, a Granny Flat will increase your capital growth and attract buyers looking for a dual-income opportunity.

Return on Investment (ROI)

If you were to take out a loan of $100,000 from the bank, at 3.5% interest, to construct a Granny Flat.

The weekly repayment over a 30 year loan is about $124. If you rented your Granny Flat for $440 per week (average rate in Sydney), you will have an additional income of $316 per week.

A Granny Flat can pay itself off, while putting more money in your back pocket.
