Most SEQ blocks have room for a secondary dwelling. That’s untapped income — $300 to $600+ per week depending on model, location, and rental strategy.
An Outhaus is Class 1a residential. That means it can be rented legally — Airbnb, long-term lease, or both. Full kitchen, bathroom, and living. Self-contained from day one.
Built off-site in Brisbane. Craned on in hours. No months of disruption or builder drama.
Built to rent. From day one.
