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.

Join us for our next live webinar where will pulling back the curtain.

 

LIVE WEBINAR - Commercial Property Uncovered: How the smart money buys, structures and finances it

What you'll walk away with:

  • The asset test. What separates a strong commercial property from an expensive lesson
  • Lease traps. The clauses we see catch buyers out most often, and how to spot them before you sign
  • Yield levers. How experienced buyers add income and value after settlement
  • Structure first. Buying personally, in a trust or through your SMSF, now that super can no longer borrow for residential property
  • The finance playbook. Lease doc vs full doc loans, interest cover, and when a non-bank lender beats the big four
  • A real deal, dissected. One purchase taken from search to settlement, with the numbers shown

Your presenters:

  • Rich Harvey, CEO, Propertybuyer (25 years, 5,000+ purchases)
  • Tass Pattas, Senior Commercial Buyers Advocate
  • William Xin, Founder & Director, XIN Mortgage

We'll cover the upside, and we'll be just as clear about the risks. If commercial isn't right for you, you'll know by the end of the session, and that's worth knowing too.
