No. We manage:

• Rooming Houses
• Co-Living Properties

However, rooming houses and higher-density investment assets are a core specialty because they require significantly more operational oversight and experience than standard residential property.

We primarily operate across:

• Brisbane
• Moreton Bay
• Redlands
• Logan

We also work with many interstate and overseas owners who own assets within our operating areas.
