Hi Teylu – we have a duplex and several units. I feel Duplexes are preferable as units involve Body Corporates fees. These fees are roughly the same as local government rates (at least where we are) – I really wonder why Body Corporate Admin fees are so high.
If you have a duplex you arrange building insurance yourself but I’d rather do that than pay Body Corporate fees – you feel like you’re more in control. Our duplex is pretty new and we haven’t had any maintenance problems.
The other benefit of a duplex is you own the land as well (or at least your bank does!).
I have a duplex in a complex. Body Corp about $2,400 (admin + sinking) per year! Have to pay to keep the tenant happy in the pool and gym and BBQ and tennis court etc []
