In this episode, Ian welcomes back a past speaker of the show, Robert Maxwell, who has now joined our NPA team. Ian and Rob welcome a guest speaker they have been dealing with for many months, Mark Reed, who is permanently based in Bali. The team talks about the merits of fractional investments as a concept, and then in greater detail about Bali as a location to enter as an investment option, using this method of fractional investing.

This topic has come about because our NPA team have been looking at alternatives for SDA investing, doing months-long research on SDA fractional investing specifically, for our SDA investors. At the same time, Larissa from our Melbourne team, brought us the concept of Bali as a fractional investing product too. As a result, we have been diligently working hard in the background for 4-5 months in assessing 'fractional investing' as a strategy - comparing the direct SDA housing investing versus indirect SDA fractional investing. From there, we went off on a tangent over to Bali fractional investing as well, and that is how we have arrived at this spot now, on this show!

Mark talks in great detail about the tourism and hospitality sector, and the international growth of capital investment into Bali, by way of infrastructure and tourism demand for hotel accommodation.

Ian and Rob dive into some really interesting questions with their guest this week. They ask things like, who’s behind this fractional investment option, and how long have they been around? Why Bali? What makes it a good choice in terms of growth and infrastructure, and are there any risks we should know about? They also get into the nitty-gritty of how projects are picked and the strategies behind them. Plus, they explore the differences between Leasehold and Freehold investments, what kind of returns we can expect, and what the costs look like. It's a must-listen for anyone curious about these investment options!

In this episode, Minh & Debbie discuss an article published in the Australian Financial Review on 8th July regarding a fund manager platform + wealth manager's joint partnership with numerous failed SDA funds with 14 different 'SDA house investments' in the Melbourne west region. Below are the links to the articles released this week online.

[LINK] AFR Article: 'Investors hung out to dry' as NDIS housing schemes fail

[LINK] AFR Article: NDIS housing scheme firm forced to refund fees for 'lack of service'

About 1.5 years ago, we published a podcast on our concerns on the aggressive 'spruiking' of SDA property capital raising in particular, at the time, by financial advisors who were trying to "get in on the action" so to speak. Now that this new article is public knowledge, we can shout their names - DOMACOM & ASR WEALTH (grrrrr).

We raised some red flags at the time, and hence why today in this article, we are doing a follow up on the fallout of these 14 managed funds which raised money to invest into SDA housing within "one suburb" (YEP, YOU HEARD IT RIGHT!) LOL

It didnt help that these investments occurred about 4 years ago, and that the titles of the land lots took 2 years delay. With these now for sale, distressed sales we should say, we have to wonder how these 4B/2B/2C SDA floor plans (which assumes one bathroom to share with 3 HPS/FA participants) will even attract SDA participants to live in these dwellings. Such poorly designed layouts will not be able to lease out to properly, and SIL and SDA providers will be rejecting these designs as they are not fit for purpose. We fear that the realistic outcome will be only one participant SDA homes, or leased out to the normal residential market.

Forget diversification, & forget the old saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket". Gee Whiz, for a bunch of suits in Sydney who work in wealth management, they sure did drop the ball big time, and did not follow the SDA advice given at the time from the experts. As we keep saying in many episodes, one cannot create SDA homes "off a spreadsheet" and then expect it to work, or achieve maximum yield. This is a high risk proposal, if one does not follow the rules set out in the playing field i.e have one ensuite per bedroom. D'OH!!!

Anyway, please listen to 'Part 1' of this topic, as we will be doing another follow up to this episode in due course.

In this episode, we have Michael Cameron, from Perth based property investment business, Jarra Property. Minh interviews Michael about their business operation, and what they do as SDA property developers and fund managers!

Michael explains their past property investment funds launched in SDA, across Perth, while also talking about their recently launched fund - JARRA INVESTMENT TRUST TWENTY EIGHT. The fund has been established in partnership with leading Western Australian care provider IdentityWA (an agency of the Catholic Church), who support approximately 400 Western Australians living with a disability and their families. The fund is building 16 houses around Perth, within a 15km radius of the CBD. The houses be leased to Identitywa, to provide high quality, contemporary homes for people to whom they provide care and support services.

For investors who qualify as 'wholesale investors' this is a great opportunity to participant in a managed SDA investment. Please listen to this episode to hear how JARRA PROPERTY are doing things differently in the property development space of SDA.

A snapshot of the fund is as follows:

• Properties: the fund will develop 16 houses across eight suburbs of varying demographic profiles. They have secured the land for all but one of the houses.
• Leasing: pro forma lease (10 year lease + 2 x 5 year options) agreed with IdentityWA.
• Construction: the houses have been priced by three separate builders. Their project manager is also a registered builder and is delivering houses for IdentityWA (same spec and configuration). He has a good handle on construction costs.
• Exit/Valuation: Jarra thinks that the WA residential market will outperform over the next 5 years – this would be a positive for valuation assumptions.
• Investment Structure: investor development related risk is limited due to satisfactory DD (including IdentityWA sign-off), a signed AFL and acceptable construction costs all obtained prior to introducing a property to the fund.
• Investor returns: Target IRR of 13.0% (pre-tax and post fees) including +10.0% cash distributions to investors post construction, representing a 1.75x cash multiple of equity invested over the five (5) year investment term.
• The expected returns are attractive and the opportunity ticks a lot of boxes as a socially responsible investment.

In this episode, a follow-on from Episode 243, Maddie & Courtney are joined by Rania from our office. All three ladies have had experience in the support work industry, and provide us with a first-hand view of what support work can look like, including discussing experiences and challenges in the industry.

Rania, worked for a care organisation in admin and rostering of support workers. Courtney as a support worker for a couple of years, primarily supporting people of all ages with mental health. Maddie also worked as a support worker, and a support coordinator, so the three have a combined wealth of experience in the industry.

SDA homes are built for participants with very high support needs, so understanding the complexities of the support work industry can be beneficial for a property owner in understanding the challenges faced on a daily basis by the care team looking after their tenants.

Rania provides examples of challenges in rostering which can stem from workers not being able to fill or work shifts, or even a participant not wishing to be supported by a particular worker, and needing to find alternative supports

Courtney discussed some challenges she faced in the past as a support worker.

Maddie talks about some of the different duties a support worker may be rostered on to perform including

• Personal Care
• Mobility Assistance
• Medication management
• Meal Preparation
• Household Chores
• Community Participation
• Emotional Support/Companionship
• Skill Development
• Providing Transportation

They discuss active vs inactive overnight supports. Inactive would involve assisting the client with whatever activities they wanted/needed in the evening leading up to sleep time, then you would generally be able to sleep but be available if needed. Active shifts are different in that the support worker is required to be awake for the shift.

They talk about what it's like as a support worker if they can no longer look after the client, either as they have to move on from supporting them, the clients' funding situation has changed, or even if the client no longer wants them as their carer and how that can impact on a carer's own experience.

Listen to this insightful episode on what it is like to be a support worker within the NDIS.

In this episode, Minh sits down with Debbie & Josh to discuss the projected yields and incomes often listed on many Sales Brochures floating around across the market, being presented to investors. These projected yields on sales brochures are often misleading for potential buyers, and we felt it was our duty to talk about the old saying - 'Buyer Beware'.

When brochures provide 'supposed' rental incomes, they tend to list the maximum return (without saying "potential maximum") which is rarely the actual outcome i.e. a High Physical Support house brochure will quote an income based on two HPS participants funded to live in a 2-tenant home, but we know that is very unlikely, so either marketers and builders brochures should not state an income at all, or if they do, they should provide a more realistic outcome.

Understanding that funding is participant-specific and often lower than expected is crucial for determining financial feasibility when investing in an SDA property. Always question such yields and income forecasts from the person presenting it to you, and ask them for the 'tenancy mix' combinations showing the 30 to 70 different outcomes that are possible. If they give you a blank face answer, or rubs it off with some lame answer, they obviously dont know what they are talking about, and they are the most dangerous people to deal with - when the blind lead the blind.

If any listener wants a second opinion on an investment proposal presented, we are happy to give a feasibility on the outcome of the investment, to give you a more realistic financial forecast. Just click on our reports page to pay for the report (link below).

In this brief episode, an introduction to our series on Support Workers, Maddie and Courtney from our office, who both have previous experience as support workers, discuss what Behaviours of Concern are, and explain why a participant may exhibit these types of behaviours and how such behaviours might be managed. They also tell us what Restrictive Practices entail and how such practices may be used to address Behaviours of Concern.

The relevance of these two topics is because more often than not, they are a core part of provision of care by SIL Providers within an SDA home, and definitely are applicable to Improved Liveability & Robust Participants. Although these matters do not directly impact the SDA investor, they do play a part in the procurement and tenancy matching process with filling up an SDA home for tenancy.

“Behaviours of Concern” in the NDIS are important to be aware of for several reasons:

1. Safety and Well-being: These behaviours can pose risks to the safety and well-being of the individual exhibiting them and to those around them, including carers, support workers, and other participants.
2. Effective Support Planning: Understanding and addressing behaviours of concern are crucial for developing effective, individualized support plans. This ensures that participants receive the appropriate care and interventions tailored to their needs.
3. Quality of Life: By addressing behaviours of concern, support workers can help improve the overall quality of life for individuals with disabilities. This can lead to better social integration, increased independence, and enhanced mental and emotional health. 4. Compliance and Standards: The NDIS has specific standards and regulations that providers must adhere to. Properly managing behaviours of concern ensures compliance with these regulations, avoiding potential legal and operational issues for service providers.
5. Training and Capacity Building: Recognizing and understanding these behaviours necessitates specialised training for support staff. This enhances their capacity to provide high-quality, compassionate care and to handle challenging situations effectively.
6. Family and Caregiver Support: Addressing behaviours of concern also supports families and caregivers by providing them with strategies and resources to manage these behaviours, reducing stress and improving the caregiving environment.
7. Resource Allocation: Awareness and proper management of behaviours of concern help in the efficient allocation of resources, ensuring that interventions are targeted and effective, thereby optimising the use of NDIS funding.

In summary, awareness and management of behaviours of concern are essential for ensuring the safety, well-being, and quality of life for individuals with disabilities, while also supporting caregivers, complying with regulations, and effectively utilizing resources.

In this episode, Minh & Deb discuss a very important aspect of building SDA that can have a major impact on the success of the project. That is Timing! Timing delays play a crucial role in the success of ones investment in SDA, and we hope that this episode gives our listeners a better insight in how timing delays do affect success in investing in property within the NDIS.

There are so many factors such as:

• Finance Approval
• Contract Signing
• Land Registration
• Building Approval
• Construction Kickoff
• Construction Completion
• Lender Stage Payments
• Supply Chain Issues
• SDA Certification
• NDIS Dwelling Enrolment
• Investor Engagement of SDA Provider
• Tenant Sourcing
• SDA Provider Marketing
• Tenant Funding Approvals

As you can see, there are multiple factors outside the control of each investor with regard to SDA product delivery. Speed to market is key, if in the right location, and the more efficient the process is, the lower the risk of vacancy. This is but one of the ideal outcomes of investing in SDA.
