When it comes to building a granny flat, it can be a little overwhelming to think about what's it going to be like to build this granny flat, how hard is it going to be? But it's actually a really simple process and so today I have with me Ben Everingham. Why is I jumped from pumped on property event Iran and we're going to be talking about the granny flat building process. So what is it like to go through this process? So if you're thinking about investing using the two properties to financial freedom strategy that we've talked about, you're thinking of using that strategy, purchasing a property and building a granny flat, what is it going to be like once you purchased that property and now you want to build the granny flat, how does that work? So for those of you out there a bit worried about that or just want to get I guess a teaser and you know, really understand the process. That's what we're here for today. So pen, how many granny flats have you built personally yourself or help it will not built yourself but hire to have built.

I've done it without my own hands because I'm hopeless. You definitely. I'm not a trade. You can tell them I competed, man. Look at my posture and my hands, but I've built a number of these things myself. I've built them on existing homes. I've also found piece of land and build the house and the granny flat at the same time. And as a business we've helped a lot of clients in Sydney and Brisbane execute on this strategy. But what I wanted to say, as you mentioned it, is super, super simple to build a granny flat and people should not feel overwhelmed about it.

Yep. So first thing you need to do before you go ahead and do this is to make sure that you can legally build and rent out a granny flat on your block. We've talked about how to find the right block for these granny flats in the previous episode. So if you haven't checked that out, go to on-property dot Condo, you four dash five, 48, and you can see the details over there. So we're assuming that you have the right block to build this, that you know, that you meet the council regulations and the state regulations to build a granny flat. So now it's just a process of getting it built. And so the first step is obviously to get a design for the property.

Yeah. So the design is the most important thing. And you've always putting on your tenant hat or your own or occupy hat and going, what is the most functional design for this site? I've got a designer called the pumped on property. We pay, I pay one, which is a big rectangle. Um, you know, I wish I could draw this Adam, identify the technology, do it, but let's think about a big rectangle. You've got a big bedroom on one side you've got a middle area which is your lounge room with the kitchen. And then on the side you've got a smaller bedroom with a bathroom slash laundry. So it's a big box. That's the 55 to 60 square made design, which is pretty much what you can build in most places in Australia. And that rent's really, really well. And it's got functional space for everything that people need.

Yup. And so with most people, when they're getting design, do they need to go to an architect to people use granny flat company, so they contact local builders.

What do most people do? I have some and pretty pimped architecturally designed granny flats, but I would not recommend that for someone looking to spend a hundred and 10 to...
