And why you should seriously consider adding these to your portfolio!

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of rental yield and why this is a good investment, firstly, let’s understand what this property is and why it exists.

The SDA (Specialised Disability Accommodation) is a federal government scheme to help support people with disabilities.

Currently, 14% (or around 4.3 million) Australians have a disability.

The SDA funds recipients for accommodation within approved SDA homes as part of the scheme.

SDA accommodation funding has an annual recurring budget of $700 million, and 16,000 new homes are required over the next five years.

Currently, many recipients of the SDA live in less-than-ideal conditions. Imagine being a 20-year-old living in an aged care facility where the average age is 80+.

Approximately 28,000 people with a disability are looking for suitable accommodation; this is where you come in.

The government is incentivising private investors like you and me to help build SDA-approved homes.

These SDA homes are purpose-built and look and feel like regular homes but with upgrades features and design.

Most SDA homes can accommodate two to three tenants plus one carer and provide a superior living experience.

For your help in building these types of homes, you will be rewarded with higher than average government-funded rental returns of around 15% gross yield pegged to the CPI for 20+ years.

Yes! Government-funded rental returns, and in most cases, these become long-term tenants who view your property as their forever home.

The best part of this type of investment is you are building a home that will be loved, cherished and cared for by someone who not only deserves a forever home but also needs one.

Like any investment property, the key is to attract good long-term tenants. Our disabled community are like any other demographic. They like to live close to transport hubs, shopping centres, community services, cafes and family & friends. Building this type of home in the right area will be the key to your success.

There are many moving parts to an SDA investment property. Ensure you work with a reputable specialist who can manage the process for you.
