Testimonials

Greg, Ryde NSW: I was going to build a shed for a bit of storage but spoke to Granny Flat Builders and saw the opportunity. I now have a 2 bedder that I’m renting out for $415 income and capital gain. I can even use the equity with the value increase on my property to invest in another property. I was surprised to see how quick the process was.

Shelley, Parramatta NSW: We were struggling a bit with our repayments when we heard about how we could get a granny flat for extra rental. We put a Kit home granny flat out in the backyard, were able to rent it out for $340 and our repayment on the granny flat was only $152 a week. It also took off the pressure from the mortgage with the extra $188 in my pocket.
