The clever option, life's not cheap! Live in one, rent the other, and let the rent help pay the mortgage and bills!

Behind one address are two separate 40sqm one-bedroom homes, cleverly divided by a central wall to create two self-contained spaces. Add two off-street parking spaces, a sunny and surprisingly spacious backyard, and you have a property that offers something a little different from the usual first home option.

One home is currently rented for $425 per week ($22,000 a year), giving you an immediate income stream while you live in the other.

Property features include:

• 80sqm total floor area.
• Two separate 40sqm one-bedroom homes.
• $425 per week current rental income.
• Approximately $22,000 annual income.
• Two off-street car parks.
• Ceiling and underfloor insulation.
• Sunny, spacious backyard.
• Sheltered from the prevailing winds.
• A smart option for first-home buyers wanting a helping hand with the mortgage.

Whether you're looking to get onto the property ladder, live in one and rent the other, or buy with a friend and each have your own space, there are plenty of ways to make this one work.
