Low Cost Homes

January 8, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

With the rapid increase in house prices throughout Australia, buying a home of your own is getting increasingly difficult for the majority of families. Transportable houses, cabins, and cottages provide a great low cost entry point to home ownership – for less than the cost of rental in many cases. Start off with a small modular unit and expand as required or as finances permit.

For first home buyers struggling to save a deposit to buy a house there are significant benefits in buying cabin or cottage to get a foot in the real estate market. Obviously the major benefit is the less money borrowed, the less has to be paid back. A second benefit relates to timing. In a rising market, the sooner you buy, the sooner you start to realise capital gains – and you no longer have to worry about getting priced out of the housing market.

Starting off small with a cabin or cottage means you won’t be a slave of the banks and variable interest rates for the next 20 or 30 years. Having a cheaper property that can be paid off quickly makes it easy to get out of debt and obtain financial freedom.

Pensioners and retirees often no longer need a large house and can live comfortably in a small relocatable house. In some cases they could set up a small transportable house in their back yard and rent out the main house as a source of income. We have one, two, and three bedroom standard designs, but can also do four and five bedroom designs, or a custom design.

Transportable and relocatable houses have opened up lots of options for home buyers and investors. Farmers, miners, and holiday makers have been using transportable buildings for years but now others are beginning to see the potential.

Ask us for a quote on any of our standard designs, your design, or a custom designed prefab or kit home.
