If you’re building a dual occupancy, knockdown rebuild, or multi-unit site, you’re likely asking yourself a crucial question early on:
Do I build to sell or build to hold and rent out?
In this episode of the Development Tank podcast, Peter Kelly sits down with Claire from the Little Fish development team to break down why most property developers get this wrong and how to avoid making costly mistakes that can destroy your flexibility and profitability down the track.
What You’ll Learn
- Why you should always design for both outcomes, even if you think you’re holding
- How cheap materials used for rentals can destroy resale
- Which internal and external finishes offer long-term durability
- When landscaping can save or cost you thousands
- The one build choice you’ll regret if life or the market shifts
Whether you’re planning to rent for a few years then sell, or flip straight out of the build, this episode delivers clear, strategic insight that could save (or make) you serious money.
This isn’t a fluffy design chat it’s a sharp, experience-backed breakdown of what really changes (and what doesn’t) when you’re planning your project exit.
