Back to EpisodesEP. 1615 - The Journey of a First-Time Commercial Buyer
Description
Commercial property isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy.
One example:
• Purchase price: under $250k
• Rent: $270/week + GST
• Approx return: ~7%
That’s significantly higher than the typical 2–3% residential yield.
And here’s the kicker — you can even use your super fund (SMSF) to invest in commercial property.
Key takeaways:
✔ No strict age barrier
✔ Possible with smaller balances (around $20k+)
✔ Doesn’t affect your personal borrowing capacity
✔ Potential for both rental income and capital growth
With the right accountant, broker, and solicitor, it’s a strategy worth exploring.
