Who this is for

You have the property, or you are about to buy. Now what?

NSFAS funds thousands of student beds, so the opportunity is real. But NSFAS is also unpredictable, and the accreditation, the rules and the payment cycles catch most landlords out. This masterclass shows you the whole model, and how to manage the risk, before it costs you.

The rules feel like a mazeAmenity ratios, weighted scoring, six certificates that can hard-fail you. We make it clear.
The money is confusingWhat NSFAS pays, what you may charge, and why February cash runs low. We show the numbers.
One mistake is expensiveLost accreditation, suspended payments, the arrears trap. We show you how to avoid them.

Your host
Retha van Rooyen

Retha is the founder of My Student House and has built, accredited and run student accommodation across South Africa 51 times over. She wrote "Creating Wealth with Student Accommodation in South Africa" because most landlords learn these lessons the expensive way. In this masterclass she hands you the model, the numbers and the compliance calendar directly.

NSFAS is unpredictable and we cannot promise stable or guaranteed income. What we can do is show you how to reduce the risks and run this well. This is training, not legal or financial advice.
