In this episode of Commercial Property Investing Explained, Steve Palise chats with Iynka, an ex-engineer turned residential buyer’s agent, who hit the finance wall after four Melbourne properties and realised his strategy needed to change.

After years of chasing property numbers, Iynka pivoted into commercial and landed a single deal that added over $500k in equity and $20k in annual cash flow, a true game changer for both his portfolio and lifestyle.

This episode covers:

• The early mistakes that stalled Iynka’s growth (and how to avoid them)
• Why accumulating properties doesn’t equal financial freedom
• When to pivot from residential to commercial
• How one industrial deal reshaped his portfolio and mindset
• Lessons from a failed retail tenancy vs. a thriving warehouse lease
• Why due diligence is non-negotiable in commercial property
• The lifestyle shift of moving from engineering to buyer’s agency
• How property investing gave him the freedom to spend more time with his young family
