Commercial Property Investing: What Makes a Good Deal? | The Buy-In Commercial Ep.2

How to assess a commercial property investment - and how do you know whether a deal is worth the risk? In Episode 2 of The Buy-In: Commercial, Nick and Luke go behind the scenes of how they assess a deal, sharing why off-market opportunities can offer an advantage, and how the right asset management strategy should protect and grow your investment long after settlement. 👉🏽 Other takeaways: Learn why a 7% yield isn’t always better than 5%, how an inflated rental income can leave you paying 20–40% above market value, and why buying a $10 million industrial property doesn’t necessarily mean you can move your business into it.
