Buying Commercial Property on the Gold Coast | What Investors Need to Know

Commercial property investing is becoming one of the biggest conversations on the Gold Coast, but it is a very different game to residential property. In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, Matt sits down for a round table discussion with Ian Barr from Campbell & Barr Finance, Alberto Di Gravio from Bespoke Commercial, and Reuben Beigel from New Wave Group to unpack what buyers and business owners need to understand before stepping into commercial property. They talk about commercial property lending, how much deposit buyers may need, why structure matters, how GST can impact a purchase, and why the right accountant, broker and buyer’s agent can make a major difference. This episode also covers commercial asset types, SMSF strategies, zoning, leases, tenants, valuations, and the Gold Coast commercial property pockets worth understanding.
