A great DHA investment starts with the right location – near a serviced Defence base, but it doesn't end there.

When assessing a property, DHA considers factors such as the suburb, Defence requirement, layout, amenity and overall suitability for a single Defence member or those with a partner or family.

Driven by a desire to build long-term financial security while still enjoying life today, Erin and her brother Ryan purchased their first investment property in their early 20s and chose to lease it to Defence Housing Australia (DHA).

“A really important focus for my life in general is how can I do things now that set me up for the future, but are also really easy to manage and look after.”

Leasing with DHA means Erin can continue building wealth without constantly checking on the property, allowing her to focus on career progression, travel plans and spending time with the people who matter most.

Whether you're buying your first investment property like Erin, or growing your portfolio, consider investing with DHA.
