- Building relationships with housing providers and understanding the process of getting contracts and leases right

- Importance of understanding the criteria and needs of providers before acquiring a property for supported living

- Increased expat interest in supported living due to lower maintenance costs, easier cash flow forecasting, appeal of helping vulnerable sections of society
