The Gold Coast market has changed, but most buyers haven’t changed how they think.

In this episode, I sit down with Tim Sayce, Founder of Kai Konstruct, to break down what’s really happening in the dual living and granny flat space on the Gold Coast.

We unpack how secondary dwellings are being used to create a dual income property, improve cash flow, and extract more value from one block. With gold coast granny flats becoming more common, this episode cuts through what works, what doesn’t, and the mistakes buyers make when they build a granny flat.

This is a practical conversation for investors and home buyers who want to move forward in the Gold Coast market with better structure, stronger cash flow, and more control.
