Update on our Sunshine Coast Duplex Build 🏡🏡

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.

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.

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.

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.
