August 2022: dual-occupancy starts to outperform
With rents tight and rates climbing, the dual-rental-income asset class delivered the cleanest cash-flow profile in the market.
Why dual-occ worked
Two rental streams on one land cost, designed and priced as a new build, depreciated as a new build. Typical gross yields of 6.0–6.5% versus 4.0–4.5% on equivalent detached. Cash-flow positive at 5% mortgage rates.
Where the buy was
SE Queensland Council areas with permissive dual-occ codes — Logan, Moreton Bay, Ipswich — delivered the strongest acquisition pipeline at sub-$900k buy-ins.
