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
