Dual-income properties are one of the most effective ways to boost rental yield on a single title. Done right, a house with a granny flat gives an investor two rent rolls from one purchase.
We recently secured exactly this outcome for a client on the Central Coast.
The property, a house with a self-contained granny flat, was purchased for $1.02 million, under market value, and now returns a combined $1,200 per week in rent across both dwellings.
How we got there: identified the property as a genuine dual-income opportunity before it attracted broader buyer attention, assessed both dwellings independently to confirm realistic rental figures for each, negotiated the purchase price below market value to protect the client’s yield from day one, and coordinated inspections and due diligence across both structures on the property, not just the main house.
For investors chasing yield without sacrificing capital growth potential, the Central Coast continues to offer opportunities like this, provided you know which properties are genuine dual-income plays and which are simply granny flats bolted on for the sake of it.
