NextGen® Investment Strategy

Live in one, rent the other

Lennar's NextGen® homes in Mockingbird offer a unique investment opportunity: live in the main home while renting the attached suite, or vice versa.

Main Home

  • • 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms
  • • Full kitchen & living areas
  • • 2-car garage access

Private Suite

  • • 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom
  • • Kitchenette & living room
  • • Private entrance

Potential rental income: The private suite can rent for $1,200-$1,500/month, significantly offsetting your mortgage. This arrangement may also help you qualify for the loan with projected rental income.

Investor Tips

1

Work with a local expert

Dr. Jan Duffy understands both new construction and investment strategies. She can help you analyze deals and negotiate with builders.

2

Consider long-term appreciation

Summerlin has limited remaining land for development. New construction today may appreciate significantly as supply becomes more constrained.

3

Factor in all costs

Include HOA fees, property management (if applicable), vacancy reserves, and maintenance when calculating returns.

4

Understand builder restrictions

Some communities have rental restrictions. Make sure you can legally rent your property if that's part of your strategy.

5

Consult a tax professional

Work with a CPA familiar with real estate investing to maximize your tax benefits and structure your investment properly.
