What makes SDA property investment appealing?

 There are many advantages to investing in specialist disability accommodations (SDA). By giving people with disabilities nice living places, you can achieve a broader goal of enhancing their quality of life in addition to generating very handsome returns. The sole purpose of the programme is to give people with special needs housing that meets their individual requirements.

You can purchase single-family homes, villas, group homes, apartments, legacy stock, townhouses, and duplexes with an SDA. You, the investor, are the owner of the authorised SDA home and rent it to qualified NDIS participants through an authorised SDA provider. Keep in mind that the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will only give funding for an SDA residence if the provider is legally registered and complies with all legal standards.

Having significantly higher net rental yields Australian real estate investors are becoming more and more interested in NDIS property investments for a variety of factors, chief among them the chance to earn substantial returns without taking on too much risk.

These investors should work with an NDIS Registered Provider who is experienced with this type of real estate, understands not only the Liveable Housing Australia (LHA) specifications for user-friendly design, but is also experienced in the application of AS1428.1 and has expertise in the application of the NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation Design Standard, to ensure they meet all qualification requirements during the planning and building phases.

As a result of the increased demand for SDA buildings, investing in them in the correct areas and working with NDIS licenced SDA builders would yield greater returns than doing so with conventional real estate properties. Investing in SDA housing has the following advantages:

1. High returns :

Rental yields of between 9% and 12% are to be expected depending on the house design, the participant's investment level, and the location. Tenants typically stay in their SDA home for a long time, providing reliable income to the investor. The current supply of SDA is insufficient to meet demand.

2. Less risk:

The Australian government promised that the SDA programme would be maintained for a period of 20 years, giving investors the assurance they need to make SDA house purchases. Investors get a steady stream of income from three different sources, namely:

Commonwealth Rent Assistance
SDA payment
25% of the NDIS participant’s pension support
3. Ethical Investment:

In addition to offering a significant return, investing in SDA homes is also morally right. The standard of living for people with disabilities who would otherwise be living in unsuitable housing, such as nursing homes, hospitals, legacy housing, group homes that are unfit for purpose, or living at home with ageing parents who won't be able to continue caring for their adult children into the future, will be improved by your investment in an SDA home.
