To provide housing for Defence members, DHA rents quality properties directly from investors on long-term lease arrangements. We offer landlords guaranteed1 rental income, and a range of convenient property care services2.
To make it easier for investors to find a property that meets our requirements, we regularly review Builder House & Land packages and provide a ‘commitment to lease’ on DHA-compliant properties once they are completed. Put simply, we have identified a list of properties in the right location, with the right inclusions, which would be ideal to lease to us.
You can buy these ‘pre-approved’ properties directly from participating builders or real estate agents. Once the property is completed, DHA will lease the property back from you (the investor) on our long-term lease.
The benefits of investing with DHA include:
- guaranteed1 rental income
- long-term leases up to 12 years
- rent paid in advance, even when the property is vacant1
- property care including most non-structural repairs2
- single service fee
- secure investment backed by a Government Business Enterprise
- simplified process of finding a DHA-compliant investment property.
Note: It’s important to understand that DHA is not selling these properties directly. We have assessed the property location, plans and inclusions and committed to a long-term lease on completion of construction, if delivered to the agreed specifications in the DHA Offer to Lease. However, this is not an endorsement of each individual builder.
