If you'd like to invest in student accommodation, there are some substantial points you should focus on with location, facilities, management, and rental assurance included. Rental assurance periods exist to ensure that your rental income remains secure.

This income is especially common in student programs because it can take time for an improvement to manifest itself in the market. For this reason, rental assurance periods usually take several years. We generally recommend three with a standard stabilization period for commercial investment. Rental assurance is often perceived as a promise to investors that they will earn an income no matter what. In reality, this case when the developer has taken the right steps to make this happen. The money has to come from somewhere, so a good developer will break this down into costs at the start of a project and make it clear in the sales contract.
