NDIS/SDA 

10%-20% Gross Yield 

An NDIS SDA property refers to housing specifically designed for participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) who require Specialised Disability Accommodation (SDA). 

The NDIS is a social welfare program in Australia designed to support people with disabilities, their families, and their carers. It provides funding for various accommodation, support and services based on individual needs and goals. 

Specialised Disability Accommodation (SDA): Within the framework of NDIS, there’s recognition that some participants have functional impairment or very high support needs that necessitate specially designed or modified housing. This type of housing is referred to as Specialised Disability Accommodation (SDA).  

These are properties built or modified according to SDA regulations and standards. They are designed to provide a safe and accessible environment for NDIS participants who qualify for SDA.  

Benefits for Property Investors: Investing in NDIS/SDA properties can be appealing for investors for several reasons: 

  1. Government Incentives: The Australian government provides incentives to develop and offer SDA housing, acknowledging the limited availability of such accommodations.
  2. High Rental Yields: Due to the specialised nature of these properties and the support from the NDIS funding model, rental returns can be higher than traditional residential properties.
  3. Long-Term Security: Many SDA rental agreements are long-term, providing security and consistency for investors.
  4. Positive Social Impact: Investors not only benefit financially but also contribute positively to society by providing essential housing for those with significant disabilities.

Co-living Property 

6%-10% Gross Yield

A co-living property is a shared living arrangement where residents have their own private master bedroom with ensuite and share common areas such as kitchens & living areas.    

Co-living properties are particularly popular among young professionals, entrepreneurs, students and single retirees especially in urban areas where housing costs are high. They offer residents an opportunity to live in desirable locations without the high costs associated with renting an entire dwelling. 

Additionally, they provide a built-in community, which can be appealing for individuals relocating to a new city or those looking for more social interaction. 

Co-living can be more affordable than other housing options, especially in high-demand urban areas. The inclusive rent often covers utilities, internet, and other shared amenities.  

For property investors, co-living properties can yield higher returns than traditional housing since multiple residents share spaces and contribute to the overall rent. Additionally, the demand for flexible and community-centric housing in urban locales can make co-living properties a compelling investment option.

Dual Key Property 

6%-8% Gross Yield 

A dual key property is a type of residential property that’s designed to house multiple occupants separately, offering a unique arrangement that combines aspects of both singular and multi-unit dwellings. 

A dual key property is typically a single building that has two dwelling that can be accommodated separately. 

Inside a dual key property, you’ll usually find a larger primary living space, which might include one or two bedrooms, a kitchen, living area, bathroom, and laundry and a smaller secondary space, often similar to a studio apartment, with its own bedroom, bathroom, and a small kitchenette. 

These properties can be particularly appealing because they offer the potential for dual rental income. An investor can lease out both spaces separately, often leading to a higher combined rental yield than renting the entire unit as a singular space. 

Dual key properties have gained popularity in markets with high housing demand and limited space, especially in urban areas. They offer a versatile solution for both homeowners and investors to maximise the utility and profitability of a single real estate asset.

SIL (Supported Individual Living) Property 

7-9% Gross Yield 

 A SIL property refers to housing that supports individuals under the Supported Independent Living (SIL) framework of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). 

A SIL home is a house that has slight design modification to help enrich the life of the participant. 

A SIL Support Company would lease the entire property generally under a standard 5+5 year lease to accommodate their participants who don’t qualify for SDA accommodation under the NDIS. 

SIL properties are accommodations where support services are provided to NDIS participants who need assistance to live independently. These supports can range from daily tasks like meal preparation and personal care to more comprehensive 24/7 care, depending on the individual’s needs. 

While the home is called a SIL home the carers that lease the home and also provide the day to day care to the participants are also called SIL carers. 

The primary goal of SIL is to help those with disabilities lead lives that are as normal and independent as possible, tailored to their individual needs and circumstances. 

For property investors a SIL property can provide a higher return secured by a long term lease.
