Alternative Property Investment Options
At The Realta Property Buyers Agency, we prioritise long-term, low-risk and research-led property investment strategies. However, we recognise that some clients choose alternative pathways that offer higher income potential or unique market structures. While these are not part of our core recommended approach, we support clients who specifically request them and seek clarity on their viability.
The Realta Property Buyers Agency has no conflict of interest when presenting these options. Although some projects may include associated commissions through builders or developers, we only consider a property if it genuinely aligns with the client’s investment goals and contributes to the strategic growth of their portfolio.
The commission is not our focus. Achieving the right outcome for your portfolio is.
These opportunities are provided solely through transparent, project-specific assessment, where we highlight both the potential benefits and risks. Regardless of investment style, our commitment remains consistent: to prioritise the long-term growth strategy for your property portfolio, safeguard your decisions and build a portfolio based on informed strategy, not sales incentives.
Co-Living Property Investments
Co-living investments continue to grow across Australia as renters prioritise affordability, flexibility and community-style living. These properties offer private rooms with shared communal areas, making them appealing to students, young professionals and essential workers in major cities. For investors, the high rental yield potential and consistently strong occupancy make co-living a dependable long-term strategy. With demand increasing in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth, Darwin and Tasmania, well-selected co-living homes offer both stable performance and long-term growth opportunities.
- Multiple rental incomes from a single dwelling
- Strong tenant demand driven by affordability pressures
- Lower vacancy risk due to multi-tenant structure
- Appeals to a wide demographic, including students and key workers
- Positive cash-flow potential supported by steady occupancy
Dual Key Homes
- Two rental incomes on a single title
- Lower construction and ownership costs compared to duplexes
- Broad tenant appeal across multiple demographics
- Ability to live in one unit while renting the other
- Strong rental performance in high-demand suburbs
Duplex Property Investments
Duplex homes continue to stand out as a strong performer in Australia’s rental market due to their ability to generate dual income from a single block. Each side operates as a fully independent residence, offering comfort, privacy and long-term rental appeal. For investors, duplexes offer a more affordable alternative to multi-townhouse projects while still delivering strong yields and capital growth potential. With steady population growth and rising rental demand, duplex homes remain a practical pathway to building a high-performing portfolio.
- Two independent dwellings delivering dual rental income
- Appeals to families, couples and multi-generational households
- Lower build cost compared to multi-dwelling projects
- Flexible living and leasing options
- Strong cash-flow potential in both new and established markets
Rooming House Investments
Rooming houses have rapidly grown in popularity as Australia faces increased demand for affordable single-tenant accommodation. These properties allow individual room rentals within a shared environment, creating multiple income sources from one asset. They attract students, essential workers, new arrivals and renters seeking privacy at lower costs. With tightening rental supply across major cities, rooming houses provide investors with high yield potential and long-term occupancy stability.
- Multiple individual rent payments from one property
- Highly sought after by affordability-driven renters
- Lower vacancy exposure due to multi-tenant structure
- Entry-level investment with strong cash-flow outcomes
- Consistent performance across major capital cities
Dual Occupancy Homes
Dual occupancy homes offer two fully self-contained dwellings on a single block, providing investors with a flexible and future-ready strategy. These homes support a range of lifestyles, from family-assisted living to tenant-only dual income models. With rising living costs and increased interest in private yet affordable housing, dual occupancy homes appeal to a wide range of renters. Their ability to deliver reliable returns makes them one of the most adaptable and resilient investment choices in today’s property market.
- Two fully independent homes on one block
- Strong tenant demand across metro and regional markets
- Lower vacancy risk with dual income streams
- More affordable than multi-unit developments
- Long-term flexibility for living, renting or mixed use
