There's never been a better time to invest in a tiny home.
Councils across Queensland are making it easier for property owners to install modular buildings for rental yield.
You don't need to be Mr Monopoly Man
(but we support tuxedos, top hats and canes)
The Queensland Government have recognised the need for more housing for Queenslanders, and have created a space where investors can reasonably increase housing options. That means it's easier than ever to pop a tiny home on an owned property to house Queenslanders while also creating an individual income stream in the form of rent.

You could be looking at an ROI of less than seven years
(with minimal effort on your part)
Imagine having that new build paid off in less than seven years, paid for by rent (excluding real estate rental management fees) from your new tenants.
​
We'll break it down for you below.
The average home value on the Sunshine Coast is estimated to be $1,060,000
(as at June, 2024)
By installing a tiny home on your own property, or a property already being used for investment purposes, you could increase the market value by $150,000 immediately.
Example:
Your current property is worth $850,000
Rental projection could average $450-$550 per week for a two bed, one bath tiny home
Of course, this depends on the actual location and local infrastructure, but it's a confident projection.
Example:
Rental yield
$550 per week gross
$517 per week net (assuming a 6% real estate management fee)
​
$450 per week gross
$423 per week net (assuming a 6% real estate management fee)
​
Your home value and equity increase
Equity can spiral into multiple investment property opportunities (keeping in mind that you should always seek financial advice pertinent to you and your situation), which, in turn, could earn multiple streams of income.
Example:
Your $850,000 property could be immediately worth a cool million.
​
We've done the estimated maths for you
As a general guide, rental income could turn to pure profit in less than seven years.
Example:
$517 (per week) x 52 (weeks in a year)
​
= $26,884 (per year) x 7 (years)
​
= $188,188
​
This more than covers the cost of the build, reports, and installation
​
Or:
​
$423 (per week) x 52 (weeks in a year)
​
= $21,996 (per year) x 7 (years)
​
= $153,972
​
Which covers the cost of a basic two bedroom, one bathroom tiny home sourced, organised, and installed by Modular Building Brokers​
​
What next?
You book in to your nearest formal attire shop and get fitted for a snazzy tuxedo. Maybe even practice wearing a monocle.
Example:
After seven years, projected rental income is pure profit after council rates are paid.
Maintenance expenses are reduced, because tiny homes don't need as much maintenance as traditional homes.
​
But what now?
You give us a call to see if your property is eligible for a secondary tiny home dwelling.
