THE PROPERTY NERDS: Navigating the commercial property market

In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal, founder and CEO of InvestorKit, and Chris Huxter, head of commercial property, explore the rising interest in commercial real estate and how investors can shift from residential portfolios to this cash-flow-focused asset class.

The duo begins by discussing the growing appeal of commercial property for investors, particularly those seeking strong cash flow opportunities, emphasising that timing is of the essence.

Arjun then outlines three key scenarios where commercial investments make strategic sense: transitioning from residential property, consolidating wealth before retirement, and leveraging superannuation funds.

Through real-life case studies, the duo highlights the benefits and challenges of commercial property investment, including building repairs and coordinating lease agreements with multinational tenants, emphasising the importance of due diligence and strategic negotiation.

With reliable tenants, high yields, supply-limited locations, and diversified, flexible assets, commercial properties ensure strong returns and long-term resilience for investors.
