INSIDE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY: 5 years on –...

MOMENTUM MEDIA
About this episode

In this milestone 60th episode of Inside Commercial Property, hosts Phil Tarrant and Scott O’Neill reflect on five transformative years in the commercial property landscape. From the early days of helping everyday Australians understand commercial investing to today’s complex, fast-paced market – this episode captures how much has changed and what investors need to know moving forward.

Together, Phil and Scott examine what $1 million could buy back in 2020 versus what that same figure secures today, revealing the compounding effects of inflation, competition, and yield compression. They discuss real client case studies – including Phil’s own Perth industrial asset – offering firsthand insights into valuation, lease negotiations, and smart portfolio strategy.

Also featured is a breakdown of three standout recent deals, ranging from a $1 million industrial entry point to a $34 million off-market asset, showcasing the breadth of opportunity for investors at every stage.

Key topics in this episode include:

  • Then versus now: the dramatic shift in commercial property values over five years.
  • $1 million starter versus multimillion-dollar syndicate plays – and how to approach both.
  • The rental market and supply equation – why low stock is fuelling future growth.
  • Lessons from real deals: pricing, valuation uplift, and cash flow strategy.
  • Navigating 2025’s economic signals – from tariffs to rate cuts and beyond.

This episode delivers critical insights and context to help you invest with clarity in a changing market.
