1B Rooming Houses: Investment Opportunities

Our 1B rooming houses represent an investment opportunity with consistent returns and minimal requirements.

Each property features 8-9 functional rooms built to quality standards. These rooming houses offer private accommodation for a range of occupants, helping address the public housing shortage.

These properties are suitable for foreign investors seeking freehold/landed property investments with good yields and minimal hands-on management.
With consistent occupancy rates and our full management services, these investments provide passive income without typical landlord concerns.

Key Benefits of 1B Rooming House Investments

Good Investment Returns

Our rooming houses deliver good yields compared to traditional residential investments, with typical returns of 10-12% annually. The multi-room structure maximises rental income while minimising vacancy risk.

Full Management Service

We provide full management services including tenant selection, rent collection, maintenance, and property upkeep. This turnkey approach allows investors to enjoy passive income without the day-to-day responsibilities of property management.

Quality Construction & Design

Each property is built to high standards with quality fixtures, fittings and finishes. Our designs prioritise both aesthetics and functionality, ensuring properties remain appealing and competitive in the market.

Strategic Locations

We conduct thorough research to identify locations with consistent rental demand, proximity to transport, educational institutions, and employment hubs. This strategic approach ensures consistent occupancy and long-term capital growth potential.
