DHA LEASE BENEFITS:
-Guaranteed Rent - rent you can count on. Renting property always comes with the risk of not having a tenant, then its you versus the mortgage, which we don't want at all. With a DHA investment property, you are leasing the property direct to DHA who in turn then manages the ADF member. So if the property is vacant, DHA is still leasing it from you. The rent is accrued daily and paid in advance.. therefore automatically.
- Long Term Leases - can range from 6 to 12 years? so gives you peace of mind allowing you to set up and manage your budget with confidence. Standard civilian leases can be as little as 6 months, therefore a very different story.
- Quality Properties - this is where many investors can come unstuck. Before you go running off to realestate.com, DHA will not take on any property, far from it. They have a specific criteria and a needs assessment for the chosen location. Unfortunately, different ranks in the military, with different family dynamics can determine how many properties DHA will lease. This process allows only quality properties to be leased so the ADF member can be assured of a standard of living in all posting locations.
- Property Care - when DHA leases your property you will enter a Property Care Contract. This offers an expended service of how DHA will care for your asset.
- Vacancy Management - managing the occupant moving in and out of the property, whilst also carrying out general maintenance if the property is vacant.
- Lease and Repair - organise and cover most non-structural repairs. Includes 'like-for-like' replacement of fixed appliances.
- Emergency Repair - in this event, DHA will invoice the additional payment on top of the service fee.
- Scheduling and Facilitating - DHA will carry out periodic inspections and provide a report.
- Rent Review - periodically, DHA will engage a licensed valuer to provide a recommendation for the rent payable on the property
