Maybe you are thinking of dipping your toes into the world of property investment. You might be the type who loves nothing more than extended trips overseas, or who is frequently away on business trips.

If this sounds like you, then you are also probably the type of person who doesn’t like to miss out on an opportunity if it arises. If you are in the position to be considering an investment property, then you are probably also the type that is driven and able to think outside the box and push yourself out of your comfort zone a little more than your average Joe.

Your home may be your haven, but it could also be an additional income stream (or two). Rather than leaving your home sitting there empty, why not consider renting it out- fully /partially furnished- and getting your hands on some extra cash while you are off jet setting!

How to go about it

You may feel more comfortable having a friend or relative check up on your property while you are away if you decide to organise things privately, or go down the Airbnb route with some of the reassurances that come with a third party handling things like payments and covering damage for accidental damage.

When it comes to theft or privacy, installing a lock on the door to the spare room might allow you to pack away your personal possessions easily, or you could organise self storage so that your belongings aren’t on the premises at all.

What does this have to do with property investment?

A dual key/dual occupancy home in QLD can offer two independent dwellings under the one roof, but with separate entries, driveways, and a soundproof firewall between them. You could live in one side yourself, earning an occasional extra income while you are away, and an ongoing income from long term renters on the other side.
