Hi
I am looking at buying a queenslander in far north Queensland.
This house in built upstairs & downstairs both. But downstairs is not legal height(just 4 inches short of legal).This is primarily an Investment but as I cannot rent the downstairs out. I was looking at my options.
1. Rent upstairs & live downstairs.
But can I do that considering not legal height.2. Rent it out as storage space.
Which is not in very much in demand right now.SO my primary question is can I live there downstairs & rent upstairs.
It must be garage that converted into rooms?
Council approved for the renovation?No it is not garage, but it actually could be a non-habitat area( I do not have a search result as it takes more than 2 weeks) But it is common to have a non-habitat area(such as kitchen, bathroom, storage etc.) being used as bed rooms in our area.
In this case I assume this is the only possible scenario.
It is commercial zoned area, so I am looking to buy & hold untill the market here starts going up & then construct some offices by raising the house. but untill then I wanna make use of the area & looking at renting my own apartment out & moving into the ground floor of this house & saving on rent.
comments on……..llegal, council, insurance & tax complications are welcome.
How r u going to raise the house?
Is this a double brick.. or just weatherboard house?
