Residential Property
During the ten years 1999-2009, residential property returned 13% annually on average. Direct investment in property is less volatile than other asset classes. You can also benefit from any capital growth over the life of the scheme, because the property is yours. All NRAS properties must be ready for a tenant to move in, so there is nothing extra to take care of. Tax benefits Investors are entitled to all taxation benefits of property ownership including:
Lowered risks NRAS tenants receive a 20% discount on their rent, which creates high demand for your property and decreases the risks of long vacancies. Tenants are also highly motivated so they can continue to receive a rental discount. There are over 1.5 million eligible tenants throughout Australia. All approved property managers have been trained by AHC on the requirements of NRAS and are well equipped to make your investment as hassle free as possible. |
