Dual-income Investment opportunity | SEQ

Two properties under one roof — two separate tenants, two separate leases, and two strong income streams, all on a single title. Maximise your rental return and flexibility with this smart investment design.

For over 15 years, Meridien Group has been helping clients secure high-performing dual-key properties across Southeast QLD, NSW, Victoria, and Perth.

We look for property that will deliver an investment advantage to our clients with more yield and a positive growth outlook.

Dual-key Homes in prime growth corridors tick the investment advantage boxes. They consistently deliver strong rental returns and fill a void in the housing market with an affordable, 'right-size' solution that is always in demand.

Why Dual Key?

• With standard dwellings now yielding under 4%, dual key properties are becoming increasingly attractive.
• Higher rental yields.
• They are in limited supply due to planning restrictions, which increases buyer demand and long-term investment potential.

Key Features:

• Suitable for 2 separate tenants under 2 separate leases
• Primary dwelling usually 3-4 bedrooms + Secondary dwelling typically, 1–2 bedrooms.
• Both homes are completely private and self-contained, with their own entrances, kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.
• Looks like a standard house from the front.

Other key features include:

• Separate electricity and water metering.
• One set of council rates payable by the owner.
• A single lock-up garage for each unit.
• Separate letterboxes.
• Fire wall between dwellings and a dividing fence in the backyard.

Compliance:

At Meridien Invest, we carefully assess suitable sites, so our clients invest only where tenant demand is strong.

All aspects of the build meet or exceed Queensland building codes and local council planning requirements. The design aligns with energy efficiency standards, accessibility guidelines, and dual occupancy zoning conditions.

Not every council permits dual key homes. Each area has its own planning requirements, and the location must suit the product in terms of density and rental demand.

Who Rents Dual Key Properties?

Dual key homes appeal to a wide range of tenants, including:

• Small families wanting affordability without compromising on space.
• Couples or singles looking for a private, self-contained unit.
• Extended families who wish to live close but independently.
• Investors seeking flexible leasing options (rent both units or live in one and rent the other).

Exit Strategy

Resale:
Typically, Dual keys command a higher sale price due to established rental returns, limited stock and attract investors seeking immediate dual income potential

Hold and refinance:
Investors can release equity through refinancing once the property has appreciated or rental income has been established. Perfect for long-term investors building a property portfolio or seeking liquidity for diversification.
