Investor Information

Affordable Housing Consulting’s arrangement allows individual investors to access the NRAS incentive payments. Investors retain the control over their NRAS property and can access all other benefits related to residential property investment.

How NRAS works for investors


Affordable Housing Consulting has agreements with investors, developers and approved property managers to facilitate private participation in NRAS.

As an approved NRAS participant, AHC holds prior approval for properties in certain areas. With the agreement of the investor, AHC will submit an investor’s property into the scheme on their behalf, providing a mechanism for individual investors to access the annual NRAS payment for 10 years.

Benefits

There are many benefits to investing in an NRAS property. The incentive payment of $11,192.13 means that your property will be cash flow positive from the end of year one*.  The payment is legislated by government and is very safe.

You also have:


  • A residential property investment
  • Tax benefits
  • High rental yields

*Depending on your circumstances. Please seek out your own professional advice.
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:

  • 50% capital gains tax discount if the property is kept for 12 months
  • Depreciation
  • Deductions for the costs of property management, insurance and interest expenses.
Please seek your own professional taxation advice.

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.
