Jim was introduced to Altitude Investment Builders in late 2023.
After a detailed review of his investment goals, Jim chose to proceed with a rooming accommodation house & land package – a high-performing strategy designed to maximise both rental yield and capital growth.

The Outcome

Within just 12 months, Jim achieved a capital uplift of $336,100 – representing a 34% return on the original package price, exclusive of rental income.

Key drivers of this return included:

Strong capital growth driven by the high-demand rooming model
Elevated rental yields from multiple tenants
SMSF buyer appeal due to strong cash flow and long-term investment viability

Why Rooming Houses Deliver

Rooming accommodation continues to outperform traditional investment models due to:

Reduced vacancy risk in areas with strong rental demand.
Multiple income streams from up to 5 tenants per dwelling.
Higher gross rental yields, often exceeding 8.5%.
Increased capital value due to the unique multi-occupancy design.

What Jim Had to Say

“I’m stoked with the result. The build quality was spot on, tenants moved in quickly, and the resale outcome exceeded my expectations. The team made the process easy from start to finish.
– Jim.B
