#153 - How to Assess Commercial Property Investments: Yield, Risk, Tenants and Long-Term Value - Part 2 of Ultimate Guide to Commercial Property Investing in Australia

Commercial property can be one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available to Australian investors and business owners.But high yield is not free money.In part two of this commercial property series, Tom explains why yield should make investors curious, not careless. You’ll learn how to assess tenant risk, vacancy risk, lease quality, asset relevance and the hidden factors that can make or break a commercial investment.Tom also unpacks one of the most compelling strategies for business owners: buying the premises your business operates from. Done properly, owner-occupier commercial property can turn rent from an expense into a long-term wealth-building mechanism.This episode is for investors who want stronger income, more control and smarter property decisions — without walking blindly into avoidable risk.Key takeaways:Why high yield in commercial property can signal opportunity, risk or both.The difference between chasing cash flow and understanding what the market is pricing in.Why vacancy risk can hurt more in commercial property than residential property.How business owners can use owner-occupier commercial property to turn rent into a wealth-building tool.The five key ways commercial investors create value: income, income quality, certainty, alternate use and physical improvement.Why every improvement to a commercial property should connect back to a commercial outcome.The critical due diligence question: “If this tenant left, who would want it next?”Take Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.⁠Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom Haigh⁠We'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning!

#152 - Ultimate Guide to Commercial Property Investing in Australia: How Smart Investors Create Value Beyond Residential Property - Part 1

Most investors understand how to add value to a house. Buy well, renovate, improve the presentation and hope the market rewards you.Commercial property works differently.In this episode, Tom explains how commercial property is really valued, why income drives price, and how smart investors create uplift by improving rent, lease quality, tenant demand, usability and future optionality.You’ll learn why high yield is not always a bargain, why a strong lease can be worth more than a cosmetic renovation, and how business owners can use commercial property as a powerful second engine for wealth creation.If you are a residential investor thinking about commercial, a business owner paying rent to someone else, or a wealth builder looking for stronger income and more control, this episode will help you understand the commercial property game before you make an expensive mistake.Key takeawaysWhy commercial property is valued more like a business than a residential home.How a small increase in net income can create a significant uplift in property value.Why yield is not free money — and what a high yield may really be telling you.The difference between improving the look of a property and improving the economics of the asset.How leases, tenant quality, vacancy risk and uncertainty affect commercial property value.Take Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom HaighWe'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning!

#151 - The Market Has Changed. Here’s Why That Could Be Your Biggest Opportunity

What separates people who build wealth from those who stay stuck?In this episode, Tom Haigh explores one of the biggest drivers of long-term success in property and life: action.While headlines, policy changes and market uncertainty continue to dominate conversations across Australia, the investors creating extraordinary outcomes are rarely the ones waiting for perfect conditions. They’re the people who keep learning, surround themselves with the right experts and recognise opportunity while others freeze.Tom shares lessons from some of the best property purchases of his career, reflects on the extraordinary mindset of the late Neil Daniher, and explains why your “why” matters more than any market cycle.This is not a technical property episode.It’s a reminder that wealth is rarely created by following the herd.And why the people who ultimately create freedom in life are usually the ones willing to move when others won’t.Key takeawaysWhy negative market sentiment often creates the best buying opportunitiesThe common mindset trait shared by many wealthy AustraliansHow surrounding yourself with the right people changes the opportunities you seeWhy action — not perfect timing — drives long-term wealth creationThe importance of having a strong “why” during uncertain periodsLessons property investors can learn from Neil Daniher’s purpose-driven mindsetWhy the biggest financial opportunities are often hidden in conversations and networks most people never accessVale Neil Daniher - Neil's inspirational speechTake Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.⁠Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom Haigh⁠We'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning!

#150 - The Multi-Million Dollar Property Opportunity Most Investors Are Completely Overlooking Right Now

For years, Australians were taught that building wealth through property meant buying investment properties, claiming negative gearing, and waiting for capital growth.But what happens when the rules change?In this episode, Tom explores why the next decade of property wealth creation may look completely different — and why some Australians could make more money from renovating their own home than from owning traditional investment properties.With construction costs exploding across Australia, replacement costs climbing rapidly, and proposed changes to investor tax concessions creating uncertainty, a new opportunity is emerging for people willing to think strategically.Tom breaks down:Why rising construction costs are reshaping the property marketThe growing gap between replacement cost and existing home valuesWhy strategic renovations may become one of the best ways to manufacture equityThe power of the principal place of residence CGT exemptionHow smart Australians are “trading up” their family home to build long-term wealthThe renovation mistakes that destroy valueWhy passive investing alone may no longer be enough for newer investorsThis episode is not about hype or speculation.It’s about adapting to changing conditions, understanding the rules of the game, and finding strategic ways to continue moving forward in property.If you’re a business owner, investor, or wealth builder wondering what comes next for Australian property, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.Take Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom HaighWe'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning!

#149 - 2026 Budget Shock: The Property Investment Opportunities Most Australians Are Missing with Respected Property and Business Advisor Andrew Beattie

The 2026 Federal Budget has triggered a wave of fear across the Australian property market.Negative gearing changes. Capital gains tax reforms. Investor uncertainty.But what if the biggest opportunities are being overlooked?In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh sits down with Andrew Beattie to unpack what the proposed Budget changes could really mean for property investors, business owners and wealth builders.Rather than focusing purely on the doom and gloom, this conversation explores the unintended consequences that often follow major policy shifts.Including:Why reduced investor activity could create opportunityHow rental shortages may drive stronger yieldsWhy quality assets may become even more valuableThe growing appeal of commercial property and SMSFsWhy strategic advice matters more than everThe investment strategies that may outperform moving forwardThis is not a panic-driven conversation.It’s a strategic discussion about adapting early, asking better questions and positioning yourself ahead of the market.If you want to understand where smart investors may still create long-term wealth despite changing policy settings, this episode is essential listening.Key takeawaysThe government is attempting to improve affordability, but the proposed policies may create unintended supply-side consequencesReduced investor participation could mean less competition for high-quality assetsFewer rental properties may place upward pressure on rents and rental yieldsCommercial and industrial property may become increasingly attractive under the proposed tax changesSMSF property investing remains a major strategic opportunity for long-term wealth creationStructuring advice is becoming more important as CGT and ownership rules potentially changeInvestors who stay proactive, evidence-based and strategy-focused may benefit most from the uncertainty aheadTake Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom HaighWe'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning!

#148 - Melbourne, Ballarat & Bendigo Property Market 2026: Where to Buy and What to Avoid — with Brant Williams, Peritum Property

For more than two years, the consensus on Victoria was simple: get out. Land tax. Tenancy reform. Sentiment in the gutter. Billions of investor dollars walked out of the state.Brant Williams kept buying.In this episode, the founder of Peritum Property breaks down what's actually happening on the ground in Melbourne, Ballarat and Bendigo right now — and why interstate investors are suddenly flooding back, often securing off-market property in 24 to 48 hours from a single WhatsApp walkthrough video.Tom and Brant cover where the real value gap sits, why $650K still buys a three-bedroom home on 600+ square metres in Australia's fastest-growing capital city, the regional markets to back and the ones to avoid, and the costly mistake most investors are still making with off-the-plan apartments.If you sold out of Victoria, sat out the cycle, or are wondering whether you've already missed the run — this is the conversation to listen to before your next move.Key listener takeawaysVictoria went from near-Sydney pricing to almost the cheapest capital city in three years. Then at the start of 2025, the rebound began. Brant is now competing against Sydney buyer's advocates buying Melbourne off-market in 24 to 48 hours.Melbourne is Australia's fastest-growing capital — around 2% population growth a year, roughly 100,000 people. Supply isn't keeping pace. That gap is the structural setup for the next leg of growth.$650K still buys a three-bed, two-bath home on a 600+ sqm block in Ballarat or Bendigo, with future subdivision potential. The same money in South East Queensland doesn't come close.Land tax fear is overblown for most investors. On a $980K property, expect roughly $1,700 to $1,800 a year. A stronger rental yield and capital growth offset it quickly.The 90-minute rule. Post-COVID, regional markets more than 90 minutes from a major metro tanked when return-to-work mandates kicked in. Ballarat (1hr 20) and Geelong sit on the right side of that line. Lifestyle markets beyond it didn't.Avoid outer estate suburbs with abundant developable land — new supply caps your growth. Brant focuses on period properties in the inner rings of regional cities, where the stock simply can't be replicated.The single most common mistake Brant seesTake Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.Connect with Brant WilliamsBook a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom HaighWe'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning!

#147 - Buffett’s Property Playbook: 3 Rules for Finding the Next Blue-Chip Suburb

What can Warren Buffett teach Australian property investors about finding the next blue-chip suburb?More than most people realise.In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh breaks down three timeless Buffett principles and shows how they apply directly to Australian real estate.You’ll learn why the best investors focus on the playing field, not the scoreboard. Why chasing the suburbs everyone is already talking about can be a costly mistake. And how to spot the early “green shoots” that suggest a suburb may be changing before prices fully reflect the opportunity.If you are wondering whether now is the right time to buy, or how to identify the next area with genuine long-term growth potential, this episode will give you a practical framework for cutting through the noise and making better property decisions.Key takeawaysThe smartest investors do not make decisions based on headlines, short-term market sentiment or weekly auction results.Buffett’s principle of focusing on the “playing field, not the scoreboard” applies directly to property investing. Fundamentals matter more than noise.Many investors make the mistake of buying suburbs after they have already become popular, which often means paying tomorrow’s price for yesterday’s growth story.The best opportunities are often found in suburbs with strong “moats”: proximity, transport, schools, character housing, scarcity and other advantages that are difficult to replicate.“Green shoots” are early signs of change, including infrastructure announcements, demographic shifts, commercial upgrades, renovation activity and planning changes.One signal on its own is not enough. The real opportunity is where multiple positive changes are happening at the same time, before the broader market has fully noticed.Change is not something property investors should fear. It is often where mispricing occurs, and mispricing is where long-term opportunity can be found.Take Action Today:If you are self are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.⁠⁠⁠Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠We'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom Haigh⁠⁠⁠General Advice Warning!

#145 - We Bought This Office For $1.42M, Spent $500K, And Valued It At $2.7M The Next Day - How to add value to a commercial property investment in Australia

Most investors understand how a renovation lifts the value of a house. But commercial property? That's a completely different game — and if you use the residential playbook, you'll miss the real levers every time.In this episode, Tom Haigh breaks down exactly how value is manufactured in a commercial investment. Not with paint and new kitchens, but with income, leases, tenants and yield.You'll get the one formula every commercial investor needs to know, the actual levers that shift value, and three real case studies — before, during and after.If you own commercial property and suspect you're leaving money on the table, or you're thinking about your first commercial deal, this episode will change how you look at every asset from here on.Stop drifting. Start manufacturing value.Key takeawaysThe one formula that runs commercial property: Value = Net Income ÷ Yield. Every value-add lever does one of two things — push the income up, or compress the yield down.Renovations alone don't create value in commercial. The renovation is the enabler. The real uplift comes from the lease, the tenant and the structure of the deal underneath it.A tired, disengaged landlord is the biggest signal of opportunity. Expired leases, below-market rents, poor maintenance and a "favours to mates" rent book are where manufactured value lives.Case study 1 — Commercial office: Bought for $1.42M generating just $30K a year. A $500K spend took market rent to $162K. Valued at $2.7M at a 6% cap rate. A ~$780K uplift above the all-in cost.Case study 2 — Mixed-use high street: Bought off-market for $1.1M at a 5.7% yield. A $100K renovation and lease restructure lifted net income by $20K. Re-rated at a 5% cap rate to $1.64M.Case study 3 — Suburban shop strip: Bought for $1.02M on $60K net rent. $120K spent on long-overdue repairs and professional management. Rents lifted to $115K, valuing the asset at $1.916M on a 6% cap rate (and ultimately sold at the peak of COVID at an outlier 3.3% yield).Beware the "unicorn" outcome. Tom is clear that the COVID-era sale was a one-off driven by macro conditions. The repeatable part is the income transformation — not the cap rate windfall.The biggest mistake commercial investors make is drift. Owning the asset and collecting rent without ever asking which lever — income, yield or structural — is available right now. Every year of drift is a year of value someone else could be manufacturing for you.Take Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.⁠Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠We'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom Haigh⁠General Advice Warning!

#144 - The Secret Wealth Advantage: What Rates, Tax Changes and Global Conflict Are Really Telling Property Investors

Are rising interest rates, CGT fears and global conflict making you second-guess your next property move?In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh breaks down the bigger forces shaping the market right now and explains why so many investors make poor decisions when macro uncertainty is high.Using the core ideas behind The Secret Wealth Advantage by Akhil Patel, Tom explores how property cycles work, how governments use policy to slow booms and correct busts, and why what we are seeing today is often history repeating itself.More importantly, he shows how smart investors think through this noise.This is not about hype.It is not about fear.It is about understanding the cycle, reading the evidence and making better decisions.In this episode, you will learn:why property sits at the centre of the broader economic cyclehow interest rates, credit settings and tax policy influence investor behaviourwhat the CGT debate really means for property investorshow global shocks flow through to inflation, confidence and borrowing conditionswhy macro pressure does not mean opportunity disappearswhat savvy investors do differently when uncertainty is highIf you want a clearer lens on the Australian property market and a smarter framework for making decisions, this episode is well worth your time.Key takeawaysProperty does not move in isolation. It is heavily shaped by credit, confidence, policy and supply-demand pressures.Interest rates and lending settings are not background noise. They directly affect borrowing power, sentiment and price growth.The threat of CGT reform matters, but strong investment decisions should never rely on one tax setting alone.Global events can affect Australian property indirectly through inflation, energy prices, business costs and central bank behaviour.History tends to repeat in cycles. The investors who do best are usually the ones who understand the stage of the cycle they are in.Macro uncertainty should sharpen your thinking, not stop you acting altogether.The smartest investors combine big-picture awareness with disciplined, evidence-based asset selection.Take Action Today:If you are serious about building wealth through property, but not yet fully clear on your next move, book a complimentary clarity call with our team via the link below.In one conversation, we can help you get clearer on your position, your options, and the path forward — because clarity creates confidence, and confidence helps people act.Book a complimentary clarity call⁠⁠⁠⁠ We'll help analyse your current position, identify your biggest untapped opportunities, and get you moving towards the life you want.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with host of The Australian Property Show - Tom HaighThe Secret Wealth Advantage by Akhil PatelGeneral Advice Warning!
