Why Good Residential Investors Get Commercial Property Wrong!

Episode 92 – Why Good Residential Investors Get Commercial Property Wrong! You've successfully invested in residential property for years. You understand property, finance, tenants and how to create value.

So moving into commercial should be fairly straightforward… shouldn't it?

Not necessarily.

In fact, some of the instincts that make you a successful residential investor can lead you to make expensive mistakes in commercial property.

Because commercial property isn't simply residential property with a business tenant.

This episode is about learning to look at commercial property through a different pair of spectacles.
