Hi everybody. I’m just having a look at this copy of Secrets of Property Millionaires Exposed. There’s a chapter in here where I talk about dual occupancy subdivision.
So what is it? How can you use it? I’d just like to share a few of the tips that are in this book. If you haven’t got a copy, please grab one.
The first thing to consider when doing a dual occupancy subdivision is that it literally can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars for your investment portfolio if you can pull it off.
A Dual Occupancy subdivision can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars for your investment portfolio.
How to Use Dual Occupancy with Subdivision
Often it is used as a way to get around the minimum lot size. A standard one-into-two lot subdivision is obviously gold. It’s been done for hundreds of years and people have made a fortune out of subdivisions. However, dual occupancy subdivision is often missed. It’s a one-into-two lot subdivision, but it often allows you to depart from the minimum lot size in a local government area.My Experience
I’ve done probably 10+ of these myself and thousands of them for clients through the Council Approval Group. For example, this is why I love it:I remember my wife and I did one of these on a corner lot. We couldn’t just subdivide it because it was something like a 25% departure on the minimum lot size. We just couldn’t pull it off. So we did a dual occupancy. Now, a dual occupancy can be attached or detached. In this situation, we did a detached dual occupancy. Then, we got approval for a subdivision. Next, we sold off the front house and largely cleared the debt on the remaining one. It allowed us to create a significantly positive cash flow investment.
So, I love dual occupancy subdivisions. I don’t know if I can express how much I love them. Please research to understand it. If you can make this work, it will make the difference in your property investment portfolio. I mean it’s not really about your investment portfolio, is it? It’s about the dream that you have, the better lifestyle, and the better future that you’ll create from it.
