One is an established investment unit. The other is a small industrial unit on a net lease. Same money, same year, two and a half times the income. Most investors have never run the second number. In sixty minutes we run it on your portfolio and give you a straight answer in writing.
Run my numbers
Three steps. No obligation to go further, and no pitch in the session.
Most investors compare gross yield. Gross yield is not what lands in your account. In residential you pay the rates, the water, the strata, the insurance and the land tax. Under a commercial net lease your tenant pays them. That single difference does more work than the headline yield does.
Illustrative figures based on typical metropolitan assets at this price point. Your numbers will differ. Working out what they actually are is what the session is for.
A residential tenant leaves and you are vacant for a month. A commercial tenant leaves and you can be vacant for six, then pay an agent fee and a fitout contribution to fill it. Anyone showing you the upside without this is selling, not advising.
It looked fine on the surface. Tenanted, tidy, in a decent complex. When we pulled the lease apart, the income was not worth what was being asked for it.
We do not get paid when a client walks away. We told them to walk anyway. That is the same process you get in the session, applied to whatever you are looking at.
Principal and founder of Homez Buyers Advocacy. Twenty properties bought for clients, around $15 million transacted, and a due diligence process that scores every asset before anyone makes an offer. The session is run by the person who does the analysis, not handed to a junior.
We would rather tell you now than take your money and tell you in the session. If you are in the right hand column, do not book.
For the first ten applicants. We are running these at no charge to build commercial case studies. Sixty minutes, plus a written summary of three to four pages.
No. It is a paid product with a written deliverable, and roughly a third of the people we run it for are told to stay where they are. If we think you should not buy commercial, we say so in the session and in writing.
Then you have saved yourself a bad purchase and you still have the written summary. That is a good outcome, not a wasted hour. We would rather lose a fee than put you in the wrong asset.
We will tell you what it costs if you ask. We do not chase. If you want to take the summary and act on it yourself, or hand it to another agent, that is entirely your call.
No. Plenty of people run this a year or two out. Knowing what you would need, and what you would be buying, is more useful early than late.
No, and be wary of any buyers agent who says they can. We are not registered tax agents and we do not hold a financial services licence. We handle the property side and we will tell you exactly what to ask your accountant.
Probably not for a first asset conversation. If you are looking at a specific deal or a second purchase, tell us in the application and we will say honestly whether the session is worth your time.
We are running the first ten sessions at no charge to build commercial case studies. After that it reverts to $495, credited in full if you go on to engage us. Four questions, about thirty seconds.
We read every application and reply either way, usually within two business days. No phone number needed yet. We will sort that when we book you in.
