OWN A COMPLETED, INCOME-PRODUCING ROOMING HOUSE WITHOUT BUILDING IT YOURSELF
A structured equity partnership where we subdivide, build two rooming houses, and you walk away owning one outright. Tenanted, income-producing, and professionally delivered using the same discipline behind $350M+ in institutional construction.
You provide the capital. We subdivide the site, deliver two completed rooming houses, and you retain full ownership of one. EME keeps the other, so our interests are completely aligned with yours. Your involvement in the build is zero. Your asset generates $185,000+ per year from day one.
For qualified partners deploying $500K-$2M+ into Victorian rooming house developments.

THE EQUITY PARTNERSHIP MODEL
Here's Exactly How It Works, and What You Get
The Equity Partnership is a joint venture subdivision model. You deploy capital into a specific, identified site in Victoria. EME subdivides the land, manages all approvals, and delivers two completed rooming houses on the same site. You retain full ownership of one completed, tenanted rooming house. EME retains the other. Two houses built. One is yours, on your title, generating ~$185,000+ per year from nine separate tenancies. No shared ownership ambiguity. No fund structure. No complicated exit. You own an entire rooming house outright and EME's interests are completely aligned with yours, because we're building alongside you.
YOUR ASSET
100%
You own an entire completed rooming house outright. Full title in your name. A physical, tenanted property generating income you can see, visit, and verify, not a line item in someone else's fund.
YOUR INCOME
~$185,000+ per year
Each completed rooming house generates $185,000+ per year across nine separate tenancies. That's your income from your asset, paid from real tenants, not fund distributions. If one tenant leaves, you still collect from the other eight.
YOUR EFFORT
Zero during the build
Less than two hours per month reviewing structured project updates. EME manages feasibility, subdivision, construction, approvals, and tenant placement end-to-end. You own the house. We build it.

THE PROBLEM
You've Built Significant Wealth. Now You Need It Working Inside Something Real.
You're past the point of chasing returns. What keeps you up isn't finding another opportunity, it's finding one you can actually trust. One where you can see the asset, verify the progress, and know exactly who's accountable.
WHY EME ROOMING HOUSES EXISTS.
We didn't come from property marketing. We came from institutional construction: $350M+ in delivered projects for organisations like Lend Lease, Vicinity Centres, and La Trobe University.
We apply the same disciplined delivery framework to every rooming house project we touch. Because your capital deserves the same rigour as a $60M retail redevelopment.
Your capital is sitting in vehicles where you have little visibility and less control, funds, managed accounts, or term deposits barely beating inflation
Every time you explore property development, it feels like a minefield of risk. Amateur operators, blown budgets, and communication that disappears the moment your cheque clears
You've watched others build real asset portfolios in property but haven't found a way to do it without becoming the project manager yourself.
You don't just want returns, you want ownership of something tangible, an asset you can point to and say, "that's mine"
You're not looking for another passive investment. You're looking for a partnership with people who deliver what they promise.
THE EME METHOD™
How Every Project Gets Delivered
A proprietary framework built from decades of institutional construction experience. Every rooming house development runs through the same disciplined process, because that's how you protect capital and deliver assets that perform from day one.
E
Evaluate
Feasibility-first. We conduct rigorous site assessment, financial modelling, and demand validation. If a project doesn't meet our defined return thresholds and risk tolerances, it gets killed, before a single dollar of your capital is at risk.
M
Manage
Construction-grade project management. Builder procurement, cost control, milestone tracking, structured reporting, and risk registers, the same process used on $60M+ institutional retail and education projects.
E
Execute
Disciplined delivery with defined programs and quality gates. The result: completed, compliant, income-ready co-living assets delivered on time, on budget, and ready to generate yield from day one.
WHY THIS ASSET CLASS. WHY VICTORIA. WHY NOW.
Rooming Houses Are the Most Undersupplied Housing Asset Class in Victoria. We're Building Them
Most equity investors choose between residential, commercial, or fund-based property exposure, all of which are mature, competitive, and increasingly compressed on returns. Rooming houses sit in a different category entirely. Structural demand is surging, supply is negligible, and the regulatory environment is tightening in favour of quality operators. For capital partners who want to own assets in an emerging, high-income sector with genuine upside, this is the window.
Victoria is experiencing a structural housing shortage that is not slowing down. For capital partners who want to be part of the solution while building real, recurring income, this is the opportunity.

OF ALL VICTORIANS LIVE ALONE
Single-person households have grown 20% in five years. Demand for quality single-occupancy housing is surging statewide.1
0.05%
REGISTERED AS ROOMING HOUSES
Only 0.05% of all Victorian properties are classified as rooming houses. The gap between demand and supply is enormous.2

RENTALS LOST IN TWELVE MONTHS
Over 10,000 rental properties disappeared from the Victorian market last year as landlords walked away.3

Yet only 5% of dwellings have one bedroom. Victoria is building the wrong homes for the people who need them.1

INCOME vs TRADITIONAL RENTALS
A co-living home generates over $185,000 per year in Melbourne. A traditional rental on the same street delivers $30,000.4.5

INCOME STREAMS UNDER ONE ROOF
Nine tenancies under one roof means nine separate income streams. If one tenant leaves, you collect from the other eight.4
The numbers tell the story. Victoria has a housing crisis. Rooming houses are part of the solution. And for equity partners, they represent a rare opportunity to own income-producing assets in one of Australia's fastest-growing housing sectors.
This Is For a Specific Type of Capital Partner. That Might Be You.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You have $500K–$2M+ in available capital and want it inside a real, income-producing rooming house you own outright, not another managed fund or paper return.
You're an experienced investor, SMSF holder, or family office seeking full ownership of a Victorian rooming house asset with institutional-grade project delivery and aligned incentives.
You want to own the completed asset. Real title, real tenancies, real income, delivered through a subdivision model where EME builds alongside you and keeps the other house.
You value transparency, structured execution, and professional accountability over marketing promises and glossy brochures
You make decisions based on feasibility data, governance frameworks, and proven track record and you expect the same discipline from your development partner
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF
You're looking for short-term speculation or quick flips, our projects run 12–24 months to completion.
You want full operational control over the build but lack the construction delivery experience to execute at institutional standard.
You're shopping on price and will trade project quality and governance for a cheaper deal with an unproven operator.
You're not ready to deploy capital within the next 90 days. This is for partners who are prepared to move, not still researching.
You want guarantees without process. We lead with governance, feasibility, and disciplined delivery, not promises.

WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU PARTNER WITH EME ROOMING HOUSES
Everything You Need to Own Rooming House Assets With Confidence
Equity Ownership in Completed Rooming Houses
You don't lend capital and wait for interest. You don't buy a share of someone else's project. EME subdivides the site, builds two rooming houses, and you retain full ownership of one, on your title, in your name. Real property. Complete ownership. No fund structure.
Fully Aligned Incentives - EME Keeps the Other House
This isn't a developer-client relationship. EME retains the second rooming house on every subdivision project. That means we only succeed when you succeed. If the build underperforms, we lose too. Your interests and ours are identical — and that alignment is built into the structure, not just the sales pitch.
Ongoing Rental Income From Day One
Each completed rooming house generates $185,000+ per year across nine separate tenancies. That's your income from your asset, paid from real tenants in a real property you own. If one tenant leaves, you still collect from the other eight.
Capital Growth in a Structurally Undersupplied Sector
You're not buying into a mature, compressed market. Victorian rooming houses represent a structurally undersupplied asset class with surging demand, limited competition, and favourable regulatory tailwinds. You own the asset outright, so all capital growth accrues to you.
Complete Capital Cycle Visibility
You know where your money is at every stage, from feasibility and approvals through to construction milestones and tenant placement. Full visibility into the specific rooming house project your capital is funding, without managing any part of it.
Institutional-Grade Reporting and Governance
Monthly milestone updates. Quarterly financial reports. Access to real-time project dashboards. The same governance framework used on $60M+ institutional projects applied to your rooming house development.
Zero Operational Burden
Most equity partners spend less than two hours per month reviewing structured updates. No tenant management. No builder coordination. No council negotiations. You own the asset. EME builds and manages the delivery. You collect your returns.
