EP 35 | Stop Over Capitalising on Granny Flats!

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 21:30:00 -0000

In this episode we unpack: That many buyers' agents, property experts, granny flat builders and so on, are helping their clients build expensive granny flats that are over capitalising on their builds, everyone forgets what we are doing and what we're doing it for. We are in the business of investing and making money, and that means not over capitalising and ensuring that we get a good rental return. There's a lot of builds happening that are over the people overcapitalising on. The objective of a granny flat as an investor is to achieve a greater rental yield. And the more cash flow you have, the better your position is, the less the property costs you to hold, and the more serviceability you have. So ultimately, getting into your end goal, and over capitalising on an expensive granny flat, or through that accumulation phase will slow down your growth. If you're on the fence, this episode will highlight what to know, what to look for and the hidden details. 🎯 Subscribe for more deep-dive investor strategies📥 Drop your questions in the comments🔔 New videos weekly on property, finance, and wealth-buildingConnect with Michael & Pinnacle Buyers Agents:➡️ Website – https://www.pinnaclebuyersagents.com.au/➡️ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/pinnaclebuyersagents/➡️ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pinnaclebuyersagents/➡️Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@pinnaclebuyersagents➡️LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/pinnacle-buyers-agents/#PinnacleBuyersAgents #MichaelLezaja #PBA #PropertyInvesting #RealEstateAustralia #TimAustin #WealthMindset #UnlimitedPortfolio #GrannyFlat
