EPISODE 342 - How to rescue an underperforming SDA

In this episode Minh and Debbie unpack the realities of underperforming SDA properties and what investors can do when a property is vacant, generating lower-than-expected income, or struggling to attract the right participants. They explore the most common causes of underperformance, including oversupply, poor micro-location, wrong participant fit, weak marketing, and overly optimistic financial expectations. The conversation also outlines practical rescue strategies, such as improving marketing and referral networks, addressing maintenance issues quickly, reassessing management, considering incentives, and reviewing whether the asset should be repositioned, leased to the general rental market, refinanced, or sold as part of an exit strategy. A grounded, realistic episode for SDA investors who want to understand whether their property is truly underperforming, and what options exist before making a major decision. \------------------------ **PROPERTY SCORECARD** https://propertyscorecard.com.au/ **SDA ADVISORY SERVICES** https://www.sdaadvisory.com.au **SDA RESEARCH REPORTS** https://ndis.property/reports **EBOOKS:** www.robustdesign.com.au www.highphysicalsupport.com.au www.improvedliveability.com.au www.fullyaccessible.
