ROOMING HOUSE INVESTMENTS
One property.
Multiple rental incomes.
Discover purpose-designed rooming house opportunities created for investors seeking stronger cash-flow potential from residential property.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH
More than one household.
More than one weekly rent.
A traditional investment property generally relies on one household under one tenancy. A purpose-designed rooming house can accommodate several residents, with each person renting their own private room.
Premium designs can include a private bedroom, ensuite and kitchenette for each resident, together with shared living, kitchen and laundry facilities.
THE INCOME MODEL

Speak with a property adviser →COMMON QUESTIONS
Understand the strategy before you invest.
Who typically rents the rooms?+
Depending on the location, residents may include professionals, essential workers, mature singles, students and people seeking modern accommodation without leasing an entire property.
Who manages the property?+
Rooming houses generally require specialist management. The appointed manager can coordinate advertising, room-by-room leasing, resident matters, inspections, maintenance and ongoing operating requirements.
Does every property have an occupancy assurance?+
No. An occupancy assurance may apply only to selected opportunities and is governed by the relevant agreement, conditions, exclusions and the capacity of the responsible party.
What expenses should an investor allow for?+
Allowances may include management, vacancy, utilities, internet, cleaning, furniture, maintenance, insurance, compliance and other operating costs. Net performance should be assessed rather than gross rent alone.
Can it be financed like a normal home?+
Finance treatment depends on the property, design, valuation, lender policy and your circumstances. Obtain lending advice before committing to a property or construction contract.
