Home Building Podcast

Think property investment stops at residential? Think again. 

In this episode, we sit down with commercial real estate specialist Jevan Singh to break down why commercial and residential property are two completely different asset classes and why understanding that distinction could change how you build long-term wealth. 

Jevan shares how savvy investors manufacture value through yield improvement, why commercial property is more stable than the residential boom-bust cycle, and what most landlords never realise until it's too late about property management. 

Whether you're a homeowner curious about your next move, or a business owner wondering if you should buy your own premises this one's worth your time. 

Chapters:  

• Why commercial and residential property are fundamentally different asset classes 

• How rental yield directly drives commercial property value (and how to use that to your advantage) 

• The difference between property management and asset management and why it costs landlords thousands 

• When it makes sense for a business owner to buy rather than lease their premises 

• The risks of commercial property that investors rarely talk about
