CO-LIVING / ROOMING PROPERTIES
Why Co-living?
Why would I choose a co-living or rooming property investment?
Co-living and rooming investments offer a compelling alternative for those looking to maximise returns while managing costs.
Unlike purpose-built NDIS properties, rooming houses are generally more affordable, while still delivering strong yields – often in the range of 10%–14% when purchased in the right locations.
These properties are particularly suited to high-density areas where there is limited supply of affordable, suitable accommodation, supporting consistent demand and stable rental income.
By investing in co-living and rooming houses in areas with strong rental demand and constrained housing supply, you can capitalise on their high-yield potential and achieve solid financial returns. This approach not only provides a cost-effective investment option, but also aligns with areas where affordable housing is needed, offering a balance of profitability and social impact.
Is Established Right For Your Property Portfolio?
Is a co-living or rooming property right for your portfolio?
A co-living property or rooming property investment can be a strategic addition to your portfolio, particularly if you’re looking to enhance cash flow, improve bank serviceability, and support continued growth.
As investment strategists, we recognise that these properties are especially valuable when a steady income stream is needed without relying on rapid equity growth.
Co-living and rooming houses typically deliver higher rental yields and consistent cash flow, which can significantly strengthen your portfolio’s financial position and improve your ability to service loans. This increased cash flow can assist with bank serviceability, making it easier to secure additional financing and expand your investment portfolio.
If your goal is to build a stronger portfolio with reliable income while maintaining serviceability, a rooming investment offers both strategic and financial advantages.

Most Australians stop at one investment property - not because they want to, but because they don’t have a scalable strategy. Buying a property isn’t a strategy, building a portfolio is.

We analyze the property market and select the best locations and suburbs for your portfolio.

We also calculate the annual rental income and the rental yields of each property and compare them with the market average and historical trends.
We also factor in the tax allowances that you can claim for your investment property, which can reduce your taxable income and increase your cash flow. By doing this, we can help you find the most profitable and suitable properties for your investment goals and budget.

Frequently asked questions
Buying an investment property starts with clarity. You need to understand your financial position, your borrowing capacity, and what you’re aiming to achieve. From there, it’s about selecting the right property — one that aligns with your strategy, performs on paper, and has strong long-term fundamentals. This involves research, due diligence, and careful assessment of risk. Many investors choose to work with experienced professionals to guide this process - not just to save time, but to make more confident, well-informed decisions from the beginning.
The most effective way to start is by getting the foundations right. That means understanding how property investing works, from finance and tax through to market selection and strategy. Starting with one well-chosen investment is often the smartest approach. It allows you to learn the process, manage your risk, and build a strong base before growing your portfolio further. A measured, long-term approach will almost always outperform rushed or reactive decisions.
