In this episode of Commercial Property Investing Explained, Jarrod McKenzie joins hosts Steve Palise and Adrian Chicino to unpack how he built a 10-property portfolio, transitioning from a Macca’s manager to owning over $10 million in residential and commercial assets by the age of 30.

Jared shares the full story: starting with a backyard buy in Western Sydney, leveraging non-bank lenders to scale fast, then strategically pivoting into commercial to secure long-term cash flow. He’s now sitting on four commercial properties nationwide, with strong tenant profiles, equity upside, and predictable income, even in a high-interest rate environment.

This episode covers:

• How Jared bought 10 properties before 30, starting from a $50K income
• The exact buy-refinance-repeat system he used to scale his residential portfolio
• Why he pivoted from residential to commercial (and how interest rates forced the shift)
• How he leveraged his mortgage broking income and timing to refinance at scale
• His full commercial portfolio breakdown (Cheesecake Shop, gym leaseback, warehouse, and more)
• Lease structures, DD challenges, and why one deal nearly fell over at the 11th hour
• How he’s now using his SMSF to acquire high-yield commercial with minimal out-of-pocket
• What he’d do differently and how new investors can think long-term from day one

In this episode of Commercial Property Investing Explained, Beau Thaller joins hosts Steve Palise and Adrian Chicino to share how he turned a weekend Lego side hustle into a $1 million commercial property portfolio in under two years.

With no prior investing experience, Beau built equity fast through two well-located commercial assets in Perth. One was a warehouse with value-add potential, and the other a retail property that skyrocketed in value within months of purchase. 

This episode covers how Beau leveraged his eCommerce business to fund deposits, why he chose commercial over residential, and what it really takes to build a portfolio from scratch.

We also get into:

• Why Beau walked away from residential investing after his first home build
• How he added nearly $500K in equity from just two properties
• Structuring deals for strong cash flow with upside through market reviews
• Lease terms, tenant negotiations, and managing risk as a new investor
• How a side hustle turned full-time income helped him scale faster
• The mezzanine equity strategy that adds value without major renovations
• Why Palise Property advised him to walk away from a deal, and what happened next

In this episode of Commercial Property Investing Explained, the mics flip again as Andrew Bean grills co-host Steve Palise about the most recent addition to his personal portfolio: an $3.175 million neighbourhood retail centre in south-east Queensland.

With a lease-doc loan, a 50% deposit and a yield just shy of 6%, Steve locked in roughly $100k of net passive income from day one, added $150k of value within a fortnight, and set himself up to nudge an 8% yield without lifting a paintbrush.

You’ll hear the full breakdown, from how he out-bid three other buyers by going unconditional (and still “over-paying” by only 2.5%), to why boring, multi-tenant strip retail beats chasing a massive residential property portfolio. 

We also get into:

• The lease-doc loan playbook: structuring a three-year, interest-only facility around the asset’s WALE (and why a short loan term didn’t scare him)
• Insurance shocks and laundromats: the hidden costs of tobacconists, lint filters and public-access assets and the simple tweaks that slashed premiums
• How one vacancy swap lifted the cap rate overnight and set a new rental benchmark for the entire centre

In this episode of Commercial Property Investing Explained, we’re flipping the script. Steve Palise takes over the mic to interview our usual host, Andrew Bean — and for good reason.

Because in under 12 months, Andrew turned a tired, underperforming self-storage facility in Wollongong into a fully renovated, cash-flowing beast… and walked away with $2.3 million in equity.

With just $150k down. 

No bank funding upfront. 

And a whole lot of hustle.

You’ll hear the full story — from the creative deal structure (hint: it involved an option contract and 150+ tenants), to the exact improvements he made, how he funded the renos using revenue from the property itself, and how he dealt with angry tenants when their rents doubled overnight.

We also get into:

• Why self-storage is one of the most overlooked commercial asset classes
• How Andrew negotiated a win-win for every party in the deal (including the agent)
• The real cost of creating “passive” income (spoiler: it’s not so passive)

If you’ve ever wanted a breakdown of what it actually takes to pull off a value-add commercial deal — this is it.
