Rooming house projects have huge potential. I’ll help you lock in the full value.
Most investors doing rooming house projects leave money on the table
by buying overpriced land, overpaying for “project management,” or building an unnecessarily expensive house in the wrong location. You don’t have to make the same mistakes.
I’ll help you structure the right foundation for your project—so you keep every dollar.
Get expert guidance to structure your investment for optimal profitability and maximum returns.
Why the Average Investor Gets Rooming House Investments Wrong
The first thing you should know is that not every rooming house project will be successful. However, chances are a developer or real estate agent will not explain this to you because they just want you to close the deal.
Unfortunately, this means you may get stuck with a rooming house investment that’s not living up to all the hype they sold to you.
Here’s why I’m different.
● I don’t sell you anything—I act as your independent investment advisor.
● I help you optimise the big decisions to maximise your cash flow and value creation.
● You’ll end up with a far better investment than if you went through a package deal.

How Do I Help You Optimize Your Investment?
My entire process is data-driven to ensure that I always help my clients reach a decision that best protects their interests. Here’s what that looks like.
Finding the right land for your project
After taking the time to understand your investment goals, I go on to identify the ideal piece of land that offers the right balance of low purchase price, cheaper build costs and higher rental returns.

I won’t just help you get a good block of land for your project and cut you loose. I’ll also provide expert suggestions on the most effective design and builder for your project. The key here is faster, more affordable, & more profitable builds.

Optimising your lending strategy
While this isn’t core to what I do, I’ll also review your rooming house finance strategy and ensure you choose an option that offers the right combination of higher LVR and lower interest rates that sets you up for long-term investment success.

Why Rooming House Investments Work—If Done Right
Rooming houses in Brisbane typically outperform traditional residential investments on two key basis.
● 8-10% rental yields
● $100K+ value uplift on completion when structured correctly
Rooming houses consistently deliver 8-10% rental yields, which is nearly double the 4-5% typically seen in standard residential rentals. This is because multiple tenants pay individual rents, ensuring higher overall returns.
In addition, properly executed rooming house investments in Brisbane can increase in value by at least $100K upon completion. Imagine investing $1.3M into land and build costs—and walking away with a $1.4M property on completion.
Let’s make sure your rooming house investment is set up for success
Is a Profitable Rooming House Investment Right for You?
Rooming accommodation investments can be highly rewarding, but they aren’t for everyone. In the same way, my independent advisory services for rooming house investments with higher rental yields and built-in value uplift may not be a perfect fit for every investor.
My services are ideal for you if:
● You’re an investor who wants to develop a top-performing rooming house, whether you're just purchasing land or already own a suitable block
● You want to maximise value uplift and cash flow
● You want a teammate to ensure you don’t overpay or make costly mistakes along the way
We’re Not the Right Fit If:
● You already own a completed rooming house and want post-development management
● You’re looking to buy a finished rooming house
If my services and your needs align, let's have a more in-depth conversation.
So Why Work With Me?
I’m Chris McKnoulty, and I’ve helped investors purchase land for close to 100 rooming houses in Brisbane. Over the past 20 years, I’ve built a career in optimising property acquisitions to ensure maximum returns for property investors, developers, and rooming house owners.
I’m also the Founder of Lucid Property Investments, one of Australia’s most dynamic independent property investment advisory businesses.
You see, I don’t sell you land or investment packages. Instead, I help you identify and build smarter rooming house investments by getting all the essential details right at the start—location, design, contracts, and finance to maximise profits.
The result? A rooming house with excellent rental income potential and $100K+ in value increase.
