As an NRAS property investor what do you get...

National Housing Group (NH Group) allows you to access a superior investment opportunity usually reserved for large institutional investors. Consider the following*:

  • A Government guaranteed tax free incentive of $9,140.00 indexed annually to the CPI’s rental factor
  • Exposure to property- consistently claimed to be one of the most secure forms of investment, and the asset class tipped to out-perform going forward
  • An inherent advantage in attracting tenants as the subsidised rent makes your property more affordable and consequently better value when compared to others on the market thus resulting in a far more secure rental income
  • Access to the most competitive Property Finance and Insurance packages through National Housing Group’s massive buying power.
  • An investment that is advantageous to the Community

Importantly, your investment benefits the community by helping to reduce the housing affordability crisis. For society to function people need to live affordably in or around areas where they work. Key workers such as nurses, teachers, police officers, fire fighters, ambulance operators and other members of society need to be able to access housing which is affordable to serve their community. Your investment goes a long way to help remedy this problem.

How It Works

The buying and selling of NRAS registered properties must be through an NRAS Approved Participant. As an NRAS Approved Participant, National Housing Group allows investors to buy and sell NRAS registered properties while still meeting all compliance criteria. National Housing Group forms a Non-entity Joint Venture with the property owner (you) which allows for the simple flow through of the full tax incentive to the owner of the property (you).

Compliance

National Housing Group meets all necessary criteria to be an NRAS approved participant. This includes meeting all yearly compliance requirements, and lodging the Annual Statement of Compliance.

National Housing Group will co-ordinate the appointment of a property manager for the dwelling. This will be done in accordance with the National Rental Affordability Scheme’s guidelines which stipulate the need for the property manager to be suitably qualified to handle NRAS properties. Fees charged by the manager will be similar to those charged by mainstream property managers and real estate agents for ordinary rental properties doing a similar task.

Owner Obligations

Importantly for the investor, the owner of the property retains all the taxation benefits associated with an investment property. This includes, but is not limited to the right to claim depreciation and other expenses related to the property*.

Owners of NRAS properties have the following obligations which National Housing Group can assist with:

  • Pay the monthly property management fee.
  • Pay for rental valuations of the property. This is a Government requirement for the NRAS program. This obligation must be undertaken at Year 1, Year 4 and Year 7. The valuation is organised for you by National Housing Group.
  • Pay a fee to the Consortium for undertaking the role of ‘Approved Participant’ and meeting Commonwealth and State Compliance requirements. This fee is $10 (plus GST) per week/per approved dwelling and helps cover administration and compliance costs.

*National Housing Group recommends investors always seek independent financial advice on relevant accounting, taxation and legal matters.
