What is a rooming house investment

A rooming house is a residential property where individual tenants lease separate rooms under individual tenancy agreements, sharing common areas including kitchen, bathrooms and living spaces.
Unlike a standard rental — where one tenant or household pays one rent — a rooming house generates multiple independent income streams from a single property. If one room is vacant, the others continue paying rent.

House Hunters Hub offers two rooming house configurations:

5-BEDROOM ROOMING HOUSE

Five individual rooms. Five individual leases. Yields of 9 to 12 percent annually in established Melbourne Metropolitan suburbs.

9-BEDROOM ROOMING HOUSE

Nine individual rooms. Nine individual leases. Higher yield potential from a single Melbourne Metropolitan site. Ideal for investors seeking maximum cash flow from one asset.

Rooming houses attract a wide range of reliable tenants — working professionals seeking affordable inner-suburban accommodation, students, key workers and those in housing transition. In Melbourne’s current rental market, quality rooming accommodation in well-located suburbs consistently operates at or near full occupancy.

The 1090 Guarantee — 75% occupancy before repayments

Under the House Hunters Hub 1090 program:


You pay 10 percent deposit to secure your rooming house investment.

The balance is paid on completion of construction.

You make no loan repayments until a minimum of 75 percent of rooms are occupied.

For a 5-bedroom rooming house — repayments begin after 4 rooms are tenanted.

For a 9-bedroom rooming house — repayments begin after 7 rooms are tenanted.

Melbourne’s rental vacancy rate is near record lows. Established Metropolitan suburbs with proven tenant demand reach 75 percent occupancy in purpose-built rooming houses faster than any greenfield or regional alternative.

Our developer partners build exclusively in established Melbourne Metropolitan areas — which is why we can make this guarantee with confidence.

Why Melbourne rooming houses are outperforming right now

Melbourne’s housing affordability crisis has created extraordinary demand for quality, affordable shared accommodation in established suburbs.
Working professionals who cannot afford standalone rentals in inner Melbourne are actively seeking quality rooming accommodation. Students enrolled at Melbourne’s major universities are competing for well-located, well-managed rooms. Key workers — nurses, teachers, emergency services — need affordable accommodation near employment hubs.

The result is a rooming house market in established Melbourne Metropolitan suburbs where quality product consistently operates at high occupancy. Our developer partners have identified the specific suburb profiles where this demand is strongest — and they build only in those locations.

Combined with the 1090 program’s 75 percent occupancy guarantee, rooming house investment through House Hunters Hub is one of the most cash-flow-positive property investment options available in Victoria right now.
