From its base in Wavell Heights, Yield Street Property Buyers describes itself as a Brisbane buyers agent for high yield property. Rather than helping people find a home to live in, the firm works with investors, and its website sums up the business in one line: "The home of yield and strategy."
The firm says it specialises in three kinds of property: rooming houses, dual occupancy and new build house and land. Its website lists the investors it works with as seasoned investors, high-income earners, business owners and those moving towards retirement, and describes them as people who want "a strategy-led approach, with the execution handled for them".
Rooming Houses, Dual Occupancy and New Builds
Rooming houses are the firm's headline product. Its 2026 Brisbane investor guide explains that a new Brisbane rooming house typically houses up to five unrelated occupants, each with their own lockable room, often with a private ensuite and kitchenette, plus shared common living space. The guide also walks through Brisbane City Council rules, financing, running a rooming house and choosing a site.
For dual occupancy, the firm describes the idea as one dwelling and two rents, through dual key or duplex configurations. Before recommending a site it says it assesses zoning, lot size, frontage, slope and orientation, overlays including flood, character and bushfire, and rental demand for each dwelling on its own, in that street.
The third strand is new build property. The firm's house and land packages page covers packages for investors across South East Queensland and Victoria, coordinated from contract through to tenancy. The firm says it sources sites in Brisbane only, with partner packages offered further afield.
Strategy Through to Tenancy
The firm's services page sets out the job as investment strategy, property sourcing, full feasibility, negotiation and acquisition, build coordination and tenancy handover. Every recommendation is backed by a full feasibility, it says, and its process runs from a discovery call and discovery meeting to a tailored strategy, sourcing and feasibility, then acquisition and build.
The firm is clear about where its role stops. "Yield Street Property Buyers buys property and coordinates builds. That is the whole job, and we do not pretend otherwise," its services page says, adding that it does not write loans, give tax advice or manage tenants. Instead it brings in solicitors, mortgage brokers, accountants and financial planners, builders and property managers, and coordinates them on the investor's behalf.
Before any search begins, the firm says it works through six inputs: the money, goals, cash flow, hold timeframe, current portfolio and ownership structure. The last is decided with the client's accountant or financial planner and "must happen before we commence the search".
A Director Who Built Her Own
The firm is led by director Lauren Jones, a licensed agent and Qualified Property Investment Adviser. On the About page she writes that she worked in finance from 2018, "and that is where I learned to understand money. Cash flow, buffers, serviceability, structure." In 2021 she became a buyers agent.
She also owns a rooming house: she found the site, took it through council, built it and now runs it under the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act. The firm's Kallangur case study documents that project, a five-bedroom rooming house in Kallangur, in the City of Moreton Bay, including what went right and what she would change.
The firm says it inspects every rooming house site in person and that clients see the analysis behind every recommendation. Yield Street Property Buyers is based at Suite 6, 216 Shaw Rd, Wavell Heights, and its website lists ABN 18 535 607 120.
