With major changes to investment rules after the Federal budget -one sector that remains unchanged and highly viable is commercial property.
Get a group of experienced investors in a room lately and the conversation sounds different.
There's less talk about auction clearance rates. There's more talk about lease expiries, tenant covenants and who pays the council rates.
The reason is simple maths. In many capital cities, a residential investment yields around 3% gross. A well-bought commercial asset can return around 6%. In a lot of cases, the tenant also covers the outgoings, and on a lease measured in years rather than months.
Same budget. Double the income. A very different rulebook.
That last part matters. Commercial property rewards investors who know what they're doing and can be costly for those who don't. Vacancies can last longer. Lenders ask harder questions. And one badly drafted lease clause can turn a 6% yield into a 0% yield and a legal bill.
