Know when and where to invest in SDA housing with greater certainty.

Investing in SDA housing can produce rental yields of 20% plus... but only if you know precisely which of the small percentage of locations have large unmet demand for specialist disability accommodation (SDA).

Ask yourself before investing in SDA:


  • Are there enough tenants? 
  • What is the ideal tenant mix?
  • When will oversupply be reached?
  • What SDA design will future proof my rent? 
  • How do I ensure I get the best tenant at the highest rent?
  • What will happen if my area becomes oversupplied?
  • How do I know when it's the best time to sell or buy?

Our reports cover all suburbs in a particular region ie ABS Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) which is the highest level of coverage by any report provider. If you want to know what report to order, you need to know what SA4 region your suburb is in. To find out, do a quick search on our custom Chat GPT here. For example, ask "what SA4 region is my suburb [Burleigh Heads, 4220] in". The answers is "Gold Coast". So the region report to order would be "Gold Coast".

Why Buy SDA Location Reports?

5 factors to consider before investing in SDA housing.

1. Where to Invest

Our proprietary analysis and interpretation of the NDIS supply and demand data helps you decide where to invest and where to avoid. In addition, our data highlights the best of the best locations so you focus on the pockets of SDA demand nobody else knows about.

1. Choose Optimum Tenant Mix

Now you know where SDA housing is in greatest demand in general but do you know what tenant mix will give you the optimum rental return. You don't want to build a Robust design in an area where demand is high but only for High Physical Support for example.

3. Make Finance Easier

SDA finance is getting harder. The rules have changed and include the requirements for borrowers to provide independent SDA location research to support their application. More and more national SDA finance specialists (brokers, lenders etc) recommend and use our data to support lending. Our reports are fast becoming the gold standard for both investors and industry players. 

4. Secure Low Vacancies

The SDA invetsors nightmare: no tenants. We have you covered because our data not only indicates where demand is highest but also what mix of tenant is optimum. This combination of higher rents and low to zero vacancies is powerful and helps investors sleep better.

5. Where is the area heading down the track?

A unique service offered by SDA Data: we track the changes in the NDIS demand and supply data so that we can anticipate when its time to sell (or buy) based on positive or negative trends in the demand and supply in an area where your SDA housing is located. We keep track of what SDA properties are under construction (are they likely to steal your tenants?) and what category is emerging as the best option. For a while it was Robust then it was HPS. Do you know what's happening around your SDA investment? Are their opportunities or problems indicated by the trends?

When is the best time to buy or sell you SDA property? 
What if you leave it too late and make a loss or sell to soon and leave profit on the table?

Time to Buy?

It's time to buy if demand rises faster than new supply to meet this demand. Similarly, it's time to buy if supply stall but demand increases beyond the available supply. These trends are what tells us when to act.


Time to Sell?

SDA Data tracks all the key SDA market indicators over time so that we can anticipate when a local market has peaked. This means demand is still high but new SDA housing is being built in this area so the ratio of demand to supply is beginning to drop meaning supply is quickly catching up to demand. This is could be a sell signal.

The difference is we know when this cycle is beginning when everyone else has no idea and are merely hoping for a good outcome after they purchase an SDA.
