    I have seen retirement living dwellings advertised at high yields in various areas. They seem to be pretty good for cash flow purpose.

    Any senior investors benefiting from this atm? @Beano

    I know its another CG vs CF debate but lets see if someone wants CF only?

    I'm curious too, actually. Including how management works (I have a vague feeling these places have on site managers, high fees and minimal control to the owner – correct me if I'm wrong).

    I've always written these off believing a strategic reno, granny flat or dual occ build or NRAS would be a much better option for cashflow with much higher probability for capital growth to boot.

    This sounds very much like the way hotels operate
    You own the property and lease it to the operator
    Problem I see is if the operator does not renew or decides to pay you less than before and you can't rent to others.

    Can only be purchased at lower LVRs, no control, may be subject to numerous conditions, watch management fees, may take longer to sell if required and limited CG.
