Negative Gearing Is Dying. Our Investors Never Needed It. The 2026 Budget just confirmed the biggest shake-up to property investment tax in decades. Negative gearing on existing properties? Restricted. The 50% CGT discount? Gone. But new builds? They keep everything. Purpose-built co-living is a new build. Over $185,000 a year in gross income from a single site. Full depreciation. Preferential CGT treatment. The reforms that are shaking conventional property investors are a structural tailwind for this model. Full breakdown at the link in bio.bio.ttps://emeroominghouses.com/post/NegativeGearingIsDying #NegativeGearing #FederalBudget2026 #PropertyInvestment #CoLiving #RoomingHouses #AustralianProperty #CGTReform #TaxReform #MelbourneProperty #InvestorIntelligence #EMERoomingHouses #HousingCrisis #NewBuild #PassiveIncome #PropertyDevelopment

Timeline Certainty: PM-Driven Gate Reviews A builder’s schedule often starts after permit issue—but your true critical path begins earlier. Without PM oversight, delays in approvals cascade downstream. Our approach: Gate 1: Concept validation (planning check + classification confirmation). Gate 2: Documentation completeness review before building permit submission. Gate 3: Site-readiness confirmation before builder mobilization. Gate 4: Practical completion inspection + compliance sign-off for council registration and operator license readiness. 👉Tired of budget blowouts and delays? Here's your solution → https://emeproperty.com/post/RoomingHouses002 Each gate is signed off by PM—not the builder—keeping the risk register live and escalation paths clear.

Conversions can look attractive because the entry cost may be lower than a new build. An existing house, older dwelling, commercial building or underutilised asset can appear to offer a quicker and more affordable pathway into the rooming house market. But “cheaper upfront” does not always mean “better investment”. When assessing a conversion, investors need to consider the hidden risks that can impact both feasibility and long term performance. Design limitations Older buildings were not designed for modern rooming house living. Existing layouts can restrict room sizes, circulation, bathrooms, natural light, storage, accessibility and overall tenant amenity. Retrofit costs Upgrading an existing building can uncover unexpected structural, services, drainage, electrical, plumbing, fire safety or compliance issues. These costs can quickly reduce or remove the perceived upfront savings. Compliance upgrades Rooming houses must meet specific building, safety and regulatory requirements. Bringing an existing building up to the required standard can be more complex, expensive and time consuming than expected. Amenity compromises A conversion may result in awkward layouts, shared facilities that feel forced, limited privacy, poor acoustics, inadequate parking, reduced outdoor space or a product that does not feel premium. Long term tenant appeal Tenants are becoming more discerning. They want comfort, privacy, security, quality finishes, good design and a home they are proud to live in. If the product feels like a compromised retrofit, this can impact rent, occupancy and tenant retention. At EME Rooming Houses we only develop new build rooming houses. Why? Because new builds allow us to design the product properly from the beginning. We can consider compliance, functionality, tenant amenity, privacy, security, maintenance, durability and investment performance before construction starts. For us, the goal is not just to create accommodation. The goal is to create well-designed, dignified and high-performing co-living rooming house assets built for long-term success. Sometimes the cheapest option at the start can become the most expensive option later.

In Victoria right now: • Traditional landlords are selling under land tax pressure + rate rises • Sites are available at distressed acquisition prices • Rental vacancy is well below 2.5% • Co-living regulatory framework is the most defined in the country • Registered rooming houses may qualify for land tax exemption While everyone is looking at the cost headlines and running, the acquisition economics for income-producing development in Victoria have not been this favourable in years.

Oil has surged 50% since late February. Diesel is at $3 a litre. The RBA has raised rates twice this year. The cash rate is now 4.10%. And a major piping supplier just told one of Australia’s largest plumbing distributors that PVC is going up 27%. Polyethylene up 36%. Polypropylene up 31%. Freight up 10%. This is not a headline. It is a cost notice landing on every builder’s desk right now. Australia’s housing crisis was already a supply problem. It just became a supply-plus-cost problem. The gap between what we need and what we can deliver is widening in real time.

3,596 building businesses went insolvent in Australia in 2025. That was before diesel hit $3 a litre. Before PVC went up 27%. Before the RBA raised rates to 4.10%. The industry’s peak body now forecasts an 11% drop in housing production this year. And Australia needs to build 1.2 million homes in the next five years. Something does not add up. And the people paying for it are renters. (Sources: ASIC via SBS News, UDIA, National Housing Accord) #ConstructionCrisis #HousingSupply #BuildingIndustry #AustralianHousing

After the 2022 Russia-Ukraine energy shock, construction costs never went back to pre-shock levels. They stabilised. At a higher base. The same pattern is forming now. PVC, polyethylene, concrete, freight — these costs are resetting upward. Building later will not be cheaper. It will be more expensive, in a market with even less supply and even higher rents. The rational response to rising costs is not to stop. It is to control them through governance, accountability, and construction-grade project management. #ConstructionCosts #PropertyDevelopment #CoLiving #InvestorEducation

Australia imports 90% of its liquid fuel. We have 36 days of petrol supply and 32 days of diesel. We operate two refineries. In 2005, we had eight. The Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of global oil passes, has been effectively closed for weeks. This is not a temporary disruption. It is a structural vulnerability that was always there. This conflict just made it visible. (Sources: Macquarie University Lighthouse, Scimex, CPD Centre, March 2026) #EnergyResilience #FuelCrisis #Australia #SupplyChain

Reflecting back on earlier this month at The Entourage's Elevate Retreat in Fiji, and feeling incredibly grateful for the clarity, perspective and personal growth that came from the experience. Sometimes stepping out of your everyday environment gives you the space to really pause, reset and reconnect with what matters most , both personally and professionally. Since returning, I’ve already started implementing some meaningful changes into my everyday routine, mindset and approach, and I can honestly say I feel more focused, energised and aligned heading into what’s next. I’m excited for the financial year ahead, big changes, big growth and big wins are coming. Here’s to backing yourself, doing the work and creating the life and business you actually want.

Higher interest rates are pushing more Australians out of the buying market and into the rental market. The Westpac-Melbourne Institute “time to buy a dwelling” index just hit a record low of 82.9. Households are now spending a record 33.4% of pre-tax income on rent. Rents have surged 43% in five years. For an investor building income-producing housing, every rate rise deepens the demand for exactly the asset they are creating. The market is telling you something. Are you listening?

I believe the rooming house sector needs fewer rushed conversions and more purpose designed, high quality executive accommodation. For too long, many rooming houses have been created by asking, “How many rooms can we fit into an existing house?” rather than asking the far more important question: “How do we create a home where people genuinely want to live?” Residents want privacy, dignity, security and comfort. They want more than a bedroom at the end of a hallway. They want private ensuites, kitchenettes, quality furnishings, natural light, secure access, quiet spaces and a home they can feel proud to return to. Investors want performance. They want a well designed product that attracts quality tenants, supports strong occupancy, reduces turnover, minimises management issues and protects the long term value of their investment. Councils want confidence that developments are compliant, professionally designed, properly managed and capable of contributing positively to local housing supply. Communities want reassurance that rooming houses will be attractive, well maintained, respectful of neighbouring properties and a positive addition to the area. A better product serves all four. When rooming houses are thoughtfully designed from the outset, they can provide an important housing option for professionals, essential workers, people relocating for employment and those seeking greater independence without the financial burden of renting an entire property. At EME Property Developments, we believe attainable housing should never mean compromising on quality, dignity or lifestyle. Our focus is on creating premium, purpose designed accommodation that gives residents genuine privacy and independence, while still providing opportunities for connection and community. The future of rooming houses should not be about squeezing more bedrooms into unsuitable existing homes, cutting corners or delivering the cheapest possible conversion. It should be about raising the standard. Better design. Better amenity. Better management. Better outcomes for residents, investors, councils and communities. We do not simply need more rooms. We need better homes.

Quick framework for thinking about the oil shock as a property investor: Traditional buy-and-hold: Higher rates compress your capacity. Higher costs erode your capital growth timeline. Your single tenant’s rent barely covers your rising mortgage. You wait and hope. Income-producing co-living: You lock in today’s construction costs. Nine tenancies generate income from day one. Rental demand deepens as rates push more people into renting. Your yield is structural, not market-dependent. Same shock. Completely different outcome. The variable is the asset model. #InvestmentStrategy #CoLiving #OilShock #PropertyInvestment #AssetModel

The Treasurer says inflation will exceed 4.5%. NAB forecasts it will top 5%. Petrol is up 50 cents a litre. Around half of the CPI basket is affected by higher fuel prices, because virtually everything transported in Australia moves on diesel. The RBA has raised rates twice in 2026. Markets are pricing more. Petrol is up 50 cents a litre. Around half of the CPI basket is affected by higher fuel prices, because virtually everything transported in Australia moves on diesel.

Every property commentator is saying the same thing right now: this is not the time to build. Here is what they are not saying: Every project that pauses is supply that does not arrive. The housing shortage does not pause because costs go up. It deepens. Every month of delay means higher future rents, tighter vacancy, and a wider gap between what exists and what people need. The cost of waiting is not zero. It is the income you did not earn, at the costs you could have locked in, in a market that was less competitive than the one you will face later. The worst time to build is also the best time to build. If you have the capability to deliver. #ContrarianInvesting #CoLiving #HousingCrisis #BuildNow

Six rooms can work in some situations, but nine rooms can create a stronger income base when the site, design, approvals pathway and management model support it. The key is not simply adding more rooms. The key is creating a layout that still feels liveable, premium and functional. At EME Rooming Houses, we do not take a cookie cutter approach to design. Every property is assessed on its own merits, including the site dimensions, orientation, access, neighbourhood character, planning controls, compliance requirements, construction efficiency and long term rental performance. A strong rooming house design is not just about maximising the room count. It is about achieving the right balance between yield, amenity, privacy, natural light, circulation, storage, shared spaces and operational functionality. The best floor plan for one site may not be the best floor plan for another. That is why each EME Rooming Houses project is custom designed to suit the property, the target tenant profile and the investment strategy. We focus on creating rooming house developments that feel considered, contemporary and durable, rather than simply replicating the same layout and specification across every site. Premium design is not about overcapitalising. It is about protecting the asset, improving liveability, supporting tenant demand and creating a stronger long term investment. #coliving #emeroominghouses #PropertyDevelopmentMelbourne #roominghousedevelopment #buildquality #InvestorEducation #propertyinvestment #DesignMatters

If you wouldn’t want your mum, dad, son, daughter, friend or employee living there, why build it? That question guides how I think about rooming houses. Too often, the focus is on squeezing in more beds and meeting a checklist. But people aren’t problems to be managed, they’re individuals who deserve a place that supports their wellbeing and their goals. Quality housing should feel safe, considered and dignified. It’s not about luxury; it’s about the basics being done right, and the little things that show someone thought about the person who will actually live there. Here’s what that looks like in practice: 🛡️ Safety first. Secure entries, good lighting, fire safety, and homes that feel looked after. 🛏️ Private space that’s truly private. Bedrooms with locks, enough room to rest and recharge. 🧹 Clean, functional shared spaces. Kitchens and bathrooms that are modern, well maintained and easy to use. 🤝 Respectful house culture. Clear house rules, open communication and prompt responses when issues arise. 🌿 Location with lifestyle in mind. Close to transport, shops, jobs and green space. 🔧 Built to last. Quality fitouts, good ventilation, smart storage and low maintenance materials. When we build with purpose, we create more than just a place to stay - we create stability, opportunity and community. Better experiences lead to better outcomes for tenants, neighbours and investors alike. At the end of the day, people remember how a home makes them feel. Let’s build places we’d be proud for the people we care about to call home. #tenantexperience #housingwithpurpose #coliving

Australia’s peak building body is comparing this moment to COVID. The parallels are real. Supply chain disruptions. Material cost surges. Builder insolvencies. But there is one critical difference: demand. During COVID, demand was uncertain. In 2026, rental demand is at structural highs and deepening. Vacancy is at record lows. More people need housing than at any point in Australian history. The operators who built through COVID came out the other side with assets in a market that was chronically undersupplied. The ones who waited paid more and entered later. History is offering the same lesson again. #HousingCrisis #BuildingIndustry #CoLiving #StructuralDemand

As a wife, daughter, mum, friend and entrepreneur, I know the constant balancing act well. And today, I just want to say this to every woman out there doing her best: you are enough, even on the messy days. Even when the laundry piles up, the emails go unanswered, the dinner is late, or your energy feels stretched thin. Being a woman in today’s world often feels like carrying a hundred invisible hats at once. We are expected to nurture, lead, provide, support, build careers, grow businesses, show up for family, maintain friendships, keep households running and somehow still find time to care for ourselves in between it all. The truth is… most women are juggling more than anyone sees. Some days we thrive. Some days we survive. Most days, we do a little bit of both. As a wife, daughter, mum, friend and entrepreneur, I know the constant balancing act well. And today, I just want to say this to every woman out there doing her best: you are enough, even on the messy days. Even when the laundry piles up, the emails go unanswered, the dinner is late or your energy feels stretched thin. There is strength in showing up imperfectly but consistently. Motherhood and womanhood isn’t about doing it all flawlessly. It’s about loving deeply, giving endlessly and continuing to rise through every season life brings. Today I celebrate my Mum for everything she poured into me, and my son for everything he brings out of me. Happy Mother’s Day to every woman carrying more than the world realises. I see you. 🌸

If you wouldn’t want your mum, dad, son, daughter, friend or employee living there, why build it? That question guides how I think about rooming houses. Too often, the focus is on squeezing in more beds and meeting a checklist. But people aren’t problems to be managed, they’re individuals who deserve a place that supports their wellbeing and their goals. Quality housing should feel safe, considered and dignified. It’s not about luxury; it’s about the basics being done right, and the little things that show someone thought about the person who will actually live there. Here’s what that looks like in practice: 🛡️ Safety first. Secure entries, good lighting, fire safety, and homes that feel looked after. 🛏️ Private space that’s truly private. Bedrooms with locks, enough room to rest and recharge. 🧹 Clean, functional shared spaces. Kitchens and bathrooms that are modern, well maintained and easy to use. 🤝 Respectful house culture. Clear house rules, open communication and prompt responses when issues arise. 🌿 Location with lifestyle in mind. Close to transport, shops, jobs and green space. 🔧 Built to last. Quality fitouts, good ventilation, smart storage and low maintenance materials. When we build with purpose, we create more than just a place to stay - we create stability, opportunity and community. Better experiences lead to better outcomes for tenants, neighbours and investors alike. At the end of the day, people remember how a home makes them feel. Let’s build places we’d be proud for the people we care about to call home. #tenantexperience #housingwithpurpose #coliving

Not every rooming house is created equal. A converted house and a purpose-built executive co-living home are two very different products. We design from day one for privacy, compliance, functionality, long term tenant appeal and operational performance. That is the difference between adapting a house and creating an asset.

3,596 building businesses went insolvent in Australia in 2025. That was before diesel hit $3 a litre. Before PVC went up 27%. Before the RBA raised rates to 4.10%. The industry’s peak body now forecasts an 11% drop in housing production this year. And Australia needs to build 1.2 million homes in the next five years. Something does not add up. And the people paying for it are renters. (Sources: ASIC via SBS News, UDIA, National Housing Accord) #ConstructionCrisis #HousingSupply #BuildingIndustry #AustralianHousing

Australia imports 90% of its liquid fuel. We have 36 days of petrol supply and 32 days of diesel. We operate two refineries. In 2005, we had eight. The Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of global oil passes, has been effectively closed for weeks. This is not a temporary disruption. It is a structural vulnerability that was always there. This conflict just made it visible. (Sources: Macquarie University Lighthouse, Scimex, CPD Centre, March 2026) #EnergyResilience #FuelCrisis #Australia #SupplyChain

The Treasurer says inflation will exceed 4.5%. NAB forecasts it will top 5%. Petrol is up 50 cents a litre. Around half of the CPI basket is affected by higher fuel prices, because virtually everything transported in Australia moves on diesel. The RBA has raised rates twice in 2026. Markets are pricing more. Petrol is up 50 cents a litre. Around half of the CPI basket is affected by higher fuel prices, because virtually everything transported in Australia moves on diesel. Higher costs. Higher rates. Less housing being built. More people renting. This is the environment. The question is what you do inside it.

Every property commentator is saying the same thing right now: this is not the time to build. Here is what they are not saying: Every project that pauses is supply that does not arrive. The housing shortage does not pause because costs go up. It deepens. Every month of delay means higher future rents, tighter vacancy, and a wider gap between what exists and what people need. The cost of waiting is not zero. It is the income you did not earn, at the costs you could have locked in, in a market that was less competitive than the one you will face later. The worst time to build is also the best time to build. If you have the capability to deliver. #ContrarianInvesting #CoLiving #HousingCrisis #BuildNow

The Budget Just Changed Everything for Property Investors. Except Us. Negative gearing on existing property? Restricted from 1 July 2027. The 50% CGT discount? Replaced. But here is the part most people missed: new builds keep everything. Negative gearing. Full depreciation. And a CGT choice that no other asset class gets. Purpose-built co-living is a new build. It generates over $185,000 a year in gross rental income from a single site. It was never dependent on negative gearing to deliver strong returns. We wrote the full breakdown. No form. No pitch. Just the analysis. https://emeroominghouses.com/post/NegativeGearingIsDying

Oil has surged 50% since late February. Diesel is at $3 a litre. The RBA has raised rates twice this year. The cash rate is now 4.10%. And a major piping supplier just told one of Australia’s largest plumbing distributors that PVC is going up 27%. Polyethylene up 36%. Polypropylene up 31%. Freight up 10%. This is not a headline. It is a cost notice landing on every builder’s desk right now. Australia’s housing crisis was already a supply problem. It just became a supply-plus-cost problem. The gap between what we need and what we can deliver is widening in real time.

The oil shock is going to thin the herd in Australian construction. Operators on thin margins will fold. Developers reliant on debt will pause. Projects dependent on optimistic feasibility will not proceed. What will be left standing are operators with: Institutional-grade cost control, Conservative feasibility modelling, Construction governance that manages risk, not hopes for it to go away. In volatile environments, governance is not a nice-to-have. It is the difference between a completed asset and an abandoned one. #ProjectGovernance #ConstructionManagement #CoLiving #RiskManagement

Australia’s peak building body is comparing this moment to COVID. The parallels are real. Supply chain disruptions. Material cost surges. Builder insolvencies. But there is one critical difference: demand. During COVID, demand was uncertain. In 2026, rental demand is at structural highs and deepening. Vacancy is at record lows. More people need housing than at any point in Australian history. The operators who built through COVID came out the other side with assets in a market that was chronically undersupplied. The ones who waited paid more and entered later. History is offering the same lesson again. #HousingCrisis #BuildingIndustry #CoLiving #StructuralDemand

After the 2022 Russia-Ukraine energy shock, construction costs never went back to pre-shock levels. They stabilised. At a higher base. The same pattern is forming now. PVC, polyethylene, concrete, freight — these costs are resetting upward. Building later will not be cheaper. It will be more expensive, in a market with even less supply and even higher rents. The rational response to rising costs is not to stop. It is to control them through governance, accountability, and construction-grade project management. #ConstructionCosts #PropertyDevelopment #CoLiving #InvestorEducation

Higher interest rates are pushing more Australians out of the buying market and into the rental market. The Westpac-Melbourne Institute “time to buy a dwelling” index just hit a record low of 82.9. Households are now spending a record 33.4% of pre-tax income on rent. Rents have surged 43% in five years. For an investor building income-producing housing, every rate rise deepens the demand for exactly the asset they are creating. The market is telling you something. Are you listening?

Quick framework for thinking about the oil shock as a property investor: Traditional buy-and-hold: Higher rates compress your capacity. Higher costs erode your capital growth timeline. Your single tenant’s rent barely covers your rising mortgage. You wait and hope. Income-producing co-living: You lock in today’s construction costs. Nine tenancies generate income from day one. Rental demand deepens as rates push more people into renting. Your yield is structural, not market-dependent. Same shock. Completely different outcome. The variable is the asset model. #InvestmentStrategy #CoLiving #OilShock #PropertyInvestment #AssetModel

Before looking at returns, investors should ask: Who is managing feasibility? Who controls cost risk? Who understands approvals? Who is accountable from site selection through to operation? Returns matter, but delivery discipline protects the path to those returns. Georgia Hartin #PropertyInvesting #DueDiligence #RoomingHouses

A traditional rental usually depends on one tenant and one income stream. An executive co-living asset creates multiple income streams under one roof. That does not remove risk, but it changes the income profile and creates a more resilient rental model when delivered properly. EME Rooming Houses #propertyinvestment #propertydevelopments #coliving

A cheap build is not always a better investment. If the design is poor, the finishes are weak, the rooms feel cramped or the compliance pathway is unclear, the asset may cost more later. Premium design is not vanity. It is risk management.

Executive co-living is not a boarding house with a fresh coat of paint. What EME Rooming Houses provides is private, well designed accommodation with the right balance of independence, shared amenity and operational efficiency. That is where the rest of the rooming house sector needs to move. I am living my best life and am so incredibly lucky to create these beautiful spaces bringing to market alternative accommodation choices for single occupants. Today I heard a very powerful quote by @Jack Delosa of The Entourage "In order to be exceptional you need to be the exception". It resonated so much with me that it gave me goosebumps.

There is an outdated perception that rooming houses need to be basic. We disagree. Working singles, essential workers, professionals and mature renters deserve safe, stylish, private and well managed accommodation. Better housing attracts better residents. #ExecutiveAccommodation #coliving #QualityHousing

Builder vs. Project Manager: Who Owns What? ➡️The Builder’s Mandate Builders are licensed to execute works under a building contract. Their focus: hitting contractual milestones with minimal cost creep. Compliance, council negotiations, and design clarifications? These often sit outside their primary scope ➡️The Project Manager’s Mandate A PM is your control tower—responsible for program integrity, risk register, stakeholder engagement, and compliance alignment across design, surveyors, trades, and authorities. Georgia, our Director, combines drafting and design expertise with PM experience, bridging the gap between technical documentation and day-to-day execution Why it matters: A project without a dedicated PM can suffer from: 1️⃣Scope drift: Non-compliant inclusions/omissions discovered late 2️⃣Delay compounding: Builders wait for surveyor or council feedback, but no one drives resolution 3️⃣Budget shocks: Variations from poor documentation or compliance upgrades mid-construction Learn why PM-led delivery is your competitive edge in rooming house investments → https://emeproperty.com/post/RoomingHouses002

I did not get into rooming houses development because they were trendy. I entered this space because Victoria has a real housing mismatch, and I believe the answer is better quality, better designed, better delivered accommodation. At EME Rooming Houses, we build executive style co-living homes for people who want privacy, comfort and connection, and for investors who want disciplined delivery, not guesswork. #RoomingHouses #coliving #PropertyDevelopmentMelbourne #victoriaproperty #womeninconstrution #womeninconstructionweek
