Have you spent months searching for the perfect office space to purchase, only to come up empty-handed?

Welcome to the Australian Property Investment Podcast. In each episode, we ask guest experts to share their key insights for aspiring investors to make confident property choices.

In this week's episode, the power duo of Atelier Wealth, Bernadette and Aaron Christie-David share their journey of a frustrating hunt to find the right commercial property for their business.

They discuss:

• The frustrating search to find the right office space to buy in their local area
• The process of securing financing for their first commercial purchase, and how they turned a "no" from the bank into a "yes"
• How they structured the purchase with their business partner using a unit trust
• Tips for negotiating the price and navigating the complex documentation
• The challenges of getting development approval from the council vs private certifiers
• Sourcing construction quotes and realising renovation costs were double their budget
• Creative ways they saved money, like letting locals take materials for recycling

If you’re ready to move your business out of rental space or invest in commercial real estate, then make sure to tune in to this episode!
