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 takeaways

• The 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.

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 cycle
• how interest rates, credit settings and tax policy influence investor behaviour
• what the CGT debate really means for property investors
• how global shocks flow through to inflation, confidence and borrowing conditions
• why macro pressure does not mean opportunity disappears
• what savvy investors do differently when uncertainty is high

If 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 takeaways

Property 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.

Should you buy a brand-new off-the-plan apartment, or an older freestanding home with renovation upside?

It is one of the most common questions we help clients work through in our property workshops.

On paper, the apartment can look very attractive. It is new. Low maintenance. Easier to own. Often backed by strong depreciation benefits. But does that actually make it the better investment over time?

In this episode, Tom Haigh breaks down a direct comparison between a two-bedroom off-the-plan apartment and a three-bedroom established house in the same suburb and at the same overall price point.

Using the REAL Framework, Tom walks through how investors should assess this decision properly. Not based on hype. Not based on convenience alone. But based on reality, evidence, asset selection and future leverage.

This is a practical episode about trade-offs, missed opportunity, and understanding the full picture before you buy.

In this episode:

• why investor type matters before property type
• the hidden trade-off between convenience and long-term performance
• how land value, scarcity and owner-occupier appeal shape growth
• why depreciation should never be the only reason to buy
• the difference between passive growth and manufactured equity
• how to compare investment options like business cases
• why the right first purchase can improve your ability to buy again

If you want to make smarter property decisions and avoid expensive mistakes, this episode will help you think far more strategically.

Key takeaways

• Buying the easier asset does not always produce the better long-term result.
• Off-the-plan apartments may offer simplicity, lower effort and stronger depreciation, but that does not guarantee stronger wealth creation.
• Established houses can create an advantage through land value, scarcity and renovation upside.
• The right investment depends on the investor’s reality, including time, experience, capital and priorities.
• Comparing properties properly means looking at capital growth, cash flow, outgoings, maintenance and future leverage together.
• Good investing is not about choosing what sounds attractive. It is about choosing what best aligns with your success criteria.
• The first property should be assessed not just on today’s return, but on how well it positions you for the next move.

What if one of the biggest factors in your property success has nothing to do with the property itself?

In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh sits down with accountant Gabrielle Smith for a conversation that starts with lifestyle, freedom and the four-day work week — and then dives deep into the often-overlooked side of successful property investing: tax, ownership structures, risk management, JV agreements, GST, land tax, and the costly mistakes investors make when they leave the boring stuff until too late.

Gab shares what she has learned from more than a decade working with property investors across Australia, including stories of clients who started with modest means and big ambition, then built real momentum by getting educated, staying committed, and treating property more like a business.

She also explains why there is rarely one perfect structure — only the structure that best suits the deal, the strategy, and the long-term goal.

If you want to keep more profit, avoid expensive mistakes, and build wealth through property with a more professional approach, this episode is packed with value.

In this episode:

• Why property should be treated more like a business
• How smarter structuring can improve long-term outcomes
• The risks investors miss when they move too quickly
• Why JV agreements matter more than most people realise
• Common GST and land tax traps
• Why there is no one-size-fits-all structure in property
• How committed investors go from amateur to professional

Property investing is full of noise.

Headlines. Hype. Opinions. Guesswork.

In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh sits down with Alex from Aus Property Insights to unpack how smart investors can use long-term property data to make better decisions and avoid expensive mistakes. The conversation centres on using evidence, not emotion, to understand what is really happening in a market, with a strong focus on long-term trends rather than short-term noise.

This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to buy with more clarity, reduce risk, and understand how data can reveal the patterns, cycles and signals that many buyers miss. The episode also explores the shift toward a more evidence-based style of property investing, drawing a parallel with the way data transformed investing in other asset classes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• why relying on headlines, friends’ opinions or surface-level suburb talk can lead to poor property decisions

• how long-term data can help you see past near-term noise and think like a better investor

• why property cycles are much longer than most people realise, and why that matters when making decisions

• why it is critical to compare houses and units separately instead of treating a suburb as one market

• how demand, supply and affordability shape performance across different locations

• how better data can help you avoid overpaying and reduce the risk of having to unwind a bad decision later

• why the future of property investing may look a lot more evidence-based than it does today

If you want to make smarter property decisions in 2026 and beyond, this episode will give you a better framework for how to think.

In this episode, Tom Haigh sits down with Jesse Mulligan from Mulligan Property to talk about the real shift from employee to business owner — and how that journey changes the way you think about freedom, risk, wealth, and long-term security.

Jesse shares what pushed him to step out on his own in his early 20s, why personal brand and long-term thinking matter in business, and what it’s taken to build a multi-service property business across commercial, industrial, residential and property management over the last decade.

The conversation then shifts into commercial property and the levers that actually drive value. Tom and Jesse unpack why market rent, rent reviews, outgoings, tenant quality, lease structure, and highest-and-best-use can make a massive difference to an asset’s value — often without the capital-intensive renovations common in residential investing.

They also explore the risks of self-managing commercial assets, the costly mistakes that happen when rents are under market or outgoings are not properly reconciled, and why experienced commercial property management can have an outsized impact on future sale value and investor returns.

Finally, the episode broadens into wealth strategy for business owners: why relying on the business alone can be risky, why bricks-and-mortar assets provide a valuable fallback position, and how diversification can create more flexibility when industries, economies, or personal circumstances change.

• The identity shift from employee to self-employed business owner

• Why Jesse started Mulligan Property and what drove that decision

• The challenges of building a business in the early years

• Why commercial property attracts experienced investors over time

• How value is really created in commercial property

• The impact of market rent reviews, CPI increases, and outgoings reconciliation

• Why self-managed commercial properties often leave money on the table

• How lease terms can either enhance or restrict future value

• Jesse’s personal investing approach and the importance of acting on opportunity

• Why business owners should build assets outside the business

This episode is for:

• self-employed professionals

• small business owners

• commercial property investors

• residential investors looking to move into commercial

• anyone interested in building long-term wealth and financial freedom through business and property

You started your business for freedom.

Freedom from a boss.Freedom to control your time.Freedom to earn without limits.

But what happens when the business you built for freedom becomes the very thing that traps you?

In this episode of The Australian Property Show, we unpack the reality of business owner burnout — and what smart entrepreneurs are doing to build passive income outside their business so they can buy back their time.

If you’re a business owner, founder, consultant or self-employed professional who:

• Feels cash rich but time poor

• Relies heavily on business income

• Wonders what would happen if you stopped working

• Assumes you’ll “sell the business one day”

• Or quietly questions whether you can do this for another 10+ years

This episode is for you.

Tom Haigh and Linda Tempesta explore:

• The hidden financial risk most business owners don’t realise they’re carrying

• Why your business is not a retirement plan

• The concentration risk of relying on one income stream

• What happens when you reinvest everything back into the business

• The turning point where successful entrepreneurs begin thinking differently

• And how strategic property can become a second income engine

This is not about quitting your business.

It’s about making it optional.

It’s about building assets that generate income without consuming your time — so you’re not financially dependent on working at full capacity forever.

What if financial freedom wasn’t about waiting…
But about building?

In this episode of The Australian Property Show, Tom Haigh sits down with leading Newcastle agent and renovator Tom Lemke to unpack how strategic renovations helped him build wealth across 8 properties — long before running a successful real estate business.

This is not a theory session.

This is lived experience.
Ugly houses.
Tight budgets.
Big risks.
Record-breaking sales.

Most renovators focus on the wrong things.
They overspend where buyers don’t care.
They underinvest where value is actually created.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to avoid those mistakes — and renovate with purpose. Here's what's inside:

• How Tom built real wealth before becoming a real estate agent
• The mindset required to renovate your way forward
• The biggest renovation mistakes that destroy profit
• Why overcapitalising happens — and how to prevent it
• The highest impact, lowest cost upgrades (not what you expect)
• Why gardens can outperform kitchens
• The power of flow, layout and backyard connection
• How to think like a buyer before you renovate
• When luxury upgrades stop adding value
• Why finishing touches matter more than foundations
• How property creates confidence and optionality in business

If you're planning a renovation…
Holding a blue-chip property…
Or looking to manufacture equity instead of waiting for the market…

This episode will sharpen your strategy.

Renovation isn’t about ego.
It’s about execution.

Press play and learn how to get it right.
