You could be eligible for up to $9,981 a year of government incentives!

If you’re considering purchasing an investment property, an NRAS property could be just what you are looking for.

NRAS is short for National Rental Affordability Scheme which is an Australian Government commitment to invest in affordable rental housing.

This is not social housing or commission housing but rather the government providing a tax incentive for investors in NRAS properties, in return for the properties being rented at a discounted rate.

There are strict guidelines for properties to qualify under the NRAS scheme. NRAS properties must be close to transport, schools, shops etc making NRAS properties desirable for tenants and property investors. There are also specified guidelines for the management of NRAS properties. The manager is reponsible for ensuring that tenants meet the income criteria and that they are reviewed against the criteria every two years.

The NRAS scheme is funded for up to 50,000 dwellings but only a percentage are available for private property investors. If you are interested in building a portfolio of secure property then now is the time to move. All investments will be built and tenanted by 30 June 2016 and the advantage is secure a property today and the owners of NRAS Properties will continue to get the tax incentives for ten years from completion and tenancy of the property commencing at the then indexed amount.
