Not every property investment journey leads to another house.
This week, we are celebrating a client who secured a commercial property through their SMSF for $444,000. The property provides net rent of $26,640 per year, plus outgoings, representing a 6% net rental yield.
The result is worth celebrating, but the thinking behind the decision matters just as much.
Commercial property requires investors to consider a different set of factors, including the quality of the tenant, the lease terms, who is responsible for the outgoings and what may happen when the lease expires. It can offer attractive income potential but, it may also involve longer vacancies, different lending requirements and risks that need to be carefully understood.
For this client, the starting point was not simply finding a property. It was establishing what their SMSF portfolio needed to achieve, then assessing opportunities against that strategy. With a clear brief in place, they were able to make an informed decision with confidence.
Commercial property will not suit every investor or every SMSF. However, for the right investor, with the right strategy, it may be an option worth understanding.
Congratulations to our client on reaching this important milestone. ๐๐พ
