Homes, townhouses & apartments
House & Land
A new home on its own title, bought as a land and build package in a growth area.
- Suits
- Investors after long-term growth, depreciation benefits and low early maintenance.
- Watch
- Estates with large volumes of similar new homes. Land, position and supply matter.

Townhouses
Two- and three-bedroom homes in small developments, often in established, well-located suburbs.
- Suits
- Budgets that sit between an apartment and a house, in better-connected locations.
- Watch

Apartments
A lower entry price into established locations close to jobs, transport and amenity.
- Suits
- First-time investors, downsizers and buyers who value location over land.
- Watch

Higher yield
Co-Living
Private bedrooms with ensuites and shared living areas, leased by the room to professionals, students or key workers. There are several different models, and they don’t all perform the same way.
- Suits
- Investors focused on yield who understand a more hands-on, specialist asset.
- Watch
- Rooming-house rules differ by state, and rental guarantees need careful reading.
Dual Key & Duplex
Two dwellings on one lot (dual key) or two homes side by side (duplex), producing two rents.
- Suits
- Investors who want stronger cash flow without giving up land and growth.
- Watch
- Council rules, resale market and whether one or two titles suit your plan.

A second dwelling in the backyard, often modular or prefab, adding rent to land you already own.
