What are thoughts on stable property investment e.g. DHA Housing?

With the uncertainty in the housing market and current rental issues that are occurring at the moment. What are your thoughts on a more stable property investment which doesn’t have these issues like DHA Housing? long term they seem like a safe and reliable investment.

 

A: With DHA properties, you receive a secure, guaranteed rental income for 10 to 15 years.

The trade off – is that you buy a property and take the risk on the property’s value. What will it be  worth at the end of the rental period? Will it be worth more or less? Who is going to buy it from you when DHA has finished?

 

The same growth factors that drive any property’s value will apply to a DHA property.

 

DHA properties are “safe and reliable” about the income you will receive, not necessarily in regard to their capital value.

 

I am not against DHA. I know many clients that have had a terrific investment experience with DHA. But it is like any property investment – you need to be comfortable that the property will, over the long term, increase in value.
