Update on our Sunshine Coast Duplex Build 🏡🏡

18/06/2026

What if your next investment didn’t rely on the market… but on smart design?

Joel’s on-site in the affluent beachside suburb on the Sunshine Coast, breaking down a project we’ve just secured for a client:

• Vacant site to build 5-bed, 5-bath rooming house
• Approx. $1.6M total project costs
• Rent forecast: $550/week per room ($2750/week)
• Anticipated 8% gross yield (based on current assumptions)
• No rental vacancy in the area

For context, the only comparable rental right now is $590/week for a 1-bed apartment.

This is how we’re helping busy professionals and business owners build a portfolio alongside their career, without affecting their lifestyle.

There’s a lot of hesitation in the market right now…

But experienced investors know that opportunity doesn’t wait for certainty.

This is one of those moments where strategy matters more than timing.

The investors getting results right now are positioning early while the window is open.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, this could be the moment to step back in with a clear plan.

After generating nearly $475k in equity from their last project with us, this client didn’t sit on it… they put it back to work.

They’ve refinanced and rolled that equity into a rooming house project on the Sunshine Coast, for which we've just received building approval.

• Build price: $756,201 (inc GST)
• Proposed rates per room: $500–$550 per week (x 5 rooms)
• Strategy: Recycle equity → scale portfolio → increase income potential

Experienced investors grow by leveraging what they’ve already built, not by starting over each time.

If you’re sitting on equity and wondering how to turn it into your next move, this is the kind of strategy worth exploring.

While everyone else is waiting to see what happens with the budget, we're doing what we've always done: helping investors secure positively geared properties that generate income from day one.👷🏻‍♂️

There’s a lot of noise out there right now about the tax reforms and how they will impact investors - but with us, nothing changes.

That's because we’ve never built strategies around negative gearing, buying in your personal name, or “hope the rules don’t change” investing.

What we do focus on is:
• Cash flow–driven builds (like this rooming house in the video)
• The right structure to keep you moving forward
• New builds that give you flexibility at tax time

That’s why our clients can keep growing multi-million dollar portfolios, no matter what changes.

We’re here to help you build long-term, strong portfolios, better cash flow, and more freedom.

Thinking of waiting to build? It might cost you more than you think.

Here Bianca breaks down what we’re seeing with building costs right now:

• Prices can spike (we saw it during COVID)
• Then they stabilise…
• But they don’t come back down

They simply reset as the new normal.

So if building is part of your plan, starting sooner could mean getting in before the next increase.

An extra $350/week in rent than we forecast - that's over $18K MORE per year.

That's a big jump in rent… and an overall 11.22% yield to go with it. 📈

For this client, we sourced vacant land and managed the build of a 5-bed, 5-bath rooming house in South East Queensland.

All in, total spend was just over $1.02M (land, build, approvals, stamp duty, our fees, furniture) with a quick 6-month build.

We forecasted $1,900/week in rent…it ended up leasing at $2,250/week.

Imagine receiving an EXTRA $18K per year than originally forecast. Phenomenal result for the client!

Final numbers:

• $114K+ annual income
• 11.22% gross rental yield
• Approx. $89K net cash flow

Just shows what can happen when the right design meets the right market.

Buy well. Add value. Increase cash flow. Hold long-term.

That’s the strategy I walk through onsite at a property Bianca and I just purchased for our portfolio.

✓ Secure assets in strong growth areas
✓ Look for moments with less competition (like right now)
✓ Use renovation + secondary dwelling to lift income
✓ Create cash flow to support the hold

Adding a second dwelling can increase both rental income and overall property value, helping investors build stronger, more sustainable portfolios over time.

It’s a practical, repeatable approach designed to build momentum.

Most buyers are sitting on the fence right now.

And that’s exactly why opportunity is starting to open up.

We’ve just released our latest property market update for South East Queensland.

And there are a few shifts happening that most people aren’t seeing yet.

• Where competition has quietly dropped
• What’s actually happening with borrowing power
• Why some investors are still moving (while others wait)

There’s a lot of noise in the headlines right now. But what we’re seeing on the ground tells a very different story.

If you’re thinking about investing this year, this is worth a quick read.

The budget changes… and what actually matters for investors.

Joel’s on-site at one of our duplex builds (just weeks from completion), breaking down what’s really going on post-budget announcement and, more importantly, what it means for investors.

Here’s the big takeaway:

• Most of the noise around negative gearing changes? Not how we build portfolios.
• Structures matter more than ever (and they’re different for everyone)
• Strategy matters more than headlines when it comes to long-term growth

At Echo, we focus on building sustainable portfolios with the right structure, strong cash flow, and room to keep moving forward.

If you’re feeling unsure about the latest changes, this is a must-watch.
