THREE WAYS TO PARTNER WITH EME
Here's Exactly What We Do, and Which Model Fits You
EME Rooming Houses is a disciplined development platform. We source, approve, build, and deliver purpose-built rooming houses across Victoria, the most undersupplied housing asset class in the state. We partner with three types of capital and land partners. Every model is fully managed. Every project runs through our institutional delivery framework. Every partner knows exactly what they're getting before they commit a dollar.
MODEL 1
Income
Accelerator
You lend capital into a specific, identified rooming house development. EME delivers the project end to end. You earn 20% p.a. fixed returns over a defined 12–18 month term, with your capital secured against real property.
Your operational involvement: zero.
MODEL 2
Equity Growth
Partner
You co-develop a rooming house using a subdivision structure, one property each. EME delivers the project end to end. You walk away with full ownership of a completed, tenanted, income-producing rooming house.
Your operational involvement: zero.
MODEL 3
Project Delivery
Partner
You bring the site or the intent. EME manages everything from planning approvals through construction, all the way to tenanted handover. You retain 100% of the equity, no dilution, no managing the build, no splitting the upside.
Your operational involvement: zero.

WHY ROOMING HOUSES. WHY VICTORIA. WHY NOW.
THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE
Victoria has a structural Housing Crisis. Rooming Houses are the solution. And there are almost none of them
Most private lenders choose between residential, commercial, or fund-based property exposure. All of which are mature, competitive, and increasingly compressed on returns. Rooming houses fall into a different category. Structural demand is surging. Supply is negligible. And the regulatory environment is tightening in favour of quality operators. For capital partners who want exposure to an emerging, asset-backed 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.
1 in 4
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
10,000+
RENTALS LOST IN TWELVE MONTHS
Over 10,000 rental properties disappeared from the Victorian market last year as landlords walked away.3
74%
OF ALL HOMES HAVE 3+ BEDROOMS
Yet only 5% of dwellings have one bedroom. Victoria is building the wrong homes for the people who need them.1
6x
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
9
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 mismatch between what Victoria has built and what Victorians actually need has never been wider. For capital partners and landowners ready to move, this is the generational opportunity to build something that matters and earn exceptional returns doing it.
This Is For A Specific Type of Partner
That Might Be You
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You have $250K+ in available capital, or a site ready to move, and you want a structured, managed pathway to real, recurring income from Victorian rooming house developments
You're a private lender, SMSF holder, family office, landowner or developer who wants institutional-grade delivery without managing a single tenant, builder, or council approval
You value governance, reporting, and track record, not marketing fluff, speculative promises, or vague timelines
You make decisions based on data and structure, and you expect exactly the same from the team delivering your project
You want to be part of the solution to Victoria's housing crisis, and earn exceptional returns as a result
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF
You want short-term results in under 12 months with no defined structure
You're shopping on price and will trade certainty for a cheaper quote
You want full operational control of the build but lack the experience to execute it
You're still in early research mode and not ready to move in the next 90 days
You want promises, not process

You've Seen What Happens When Developers Can't Deliver
The property development market is full of operators who can raise capital but can't manage a build. The result is predictable, and painful:
This is why EME 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.
Timelines blow out. A 12-month project becomes 24.
Budgets overrun. Your return shrinks or disappears.
Communication stops the moment your capital is committed.
There's no structured reporting, no risk management, no accountability.
You're left chasing updates instead of collecting returns.
THE EME METHOD™
How Every Rooming House Project Gets Delivered
A proprietary framework built from three decades of institutional construction experience. Every project, regardless of model or capital size, runs through the same disciplined process. Because that's how you protect capital and hit your return targets. No shortcuts. No exceptions.
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.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU PARTNER WITH EME ROOMING HOUSES
One Accountable Team, Start to Finish
From the first feasibility call to the income-producing handover. One committed partner who stays with the project the whole way through. No handoff gaps. No finger-pointing.
Capital Secured Against Real Property
Your funds are secured by a mortgage, caveat, or an agreed legal instrument over the rooming house asset. Feasibility-first diligence ensures bad deals are killed before a dollar is at risk.
Complete Project Visibility
You know where your money and your project are at every stage. From the day your capital is deployed to the day the rooming house is tenanted and income-producing.
Institutional-Grade Reporting
Quarterly financial reports. Monthly milestone updates. Real-time project dashboards. The same governance standards used on $60M+ institutional projects are applied to your rooming house development.
Direct Access to Your Project Lead
Clear communication. Timely answers. No chasing, no confusion, just steady progress and a human you can actually reach.
Advisor-Ready Documentation
Clear structures and formal agreements built to withstand professional scrutiny. Designed so your accountant, lawyer, or financial adviser can review and move quickly.
