Where does Australia's largest commercial buyers agency actually buy?

Here is a breakdown of every deal we settled for clients in the last 12 months.

Queensland 40% Victoria 30% Western Australia 9% New South Wales 5% And the rest spread across SA, TAS, ACT and New Zealand.

Not because we chase trends. Because we chase yield and value with growth upside. And these factors do not care about postcode.

Here is the part most investors miss. Roughly 70% of those deals were secured off market. They were never on RealCommercial. Never on Trade Me. They were agent to buyer, before a listing was ever written.

The reason agents call us first is simple. When Rethink puts a property under contract, we have a 93% settlement rate. No collapsed deals. No wasted campaigns. Vendors and agents know that when we come to the table, the deal gets done. That reputation took eleven years to build and you cannot buy it overnight.

The websites are showing you what is left. We are buying what is best.

If you are weighing up a commercial purchase anywhere in Australia or New Zealand, drop a comment below saying “commercial” or send us a message. Happy to talk through what the numbers look like for your situation.

Australia's first and largest commercial buyers agency. 🇦🇺🇳🇿

A motorcycle crash left Jonti Dimond paraplegic just before he turned 30, forcing him to look hard at whether his property portfolio could actually replace his income.

It couldn't.

Between rates, insurance, maintenance and tenants, the returns on his six residential properties just weren't enough.

So he sold the lot and bought a commercial office building back in New Zealand instead. Today it's worth $6.4M, returning $400K+ a year at a 7.27% net yield, with far less of the stress.

"It sort of felt like I'd won Lotto," Jonti said, "and set up my family for potentially intergenerational wealth."

Industrial Investment | $6,450,000 | Net Yield: 5.90% | QLD

An off-market, brand-new, dual-tenanted industrial investment positioned within one of Gympie’s fastest emerging large-format industrial precincts, delivering secure income backed by two national tenants on a nine-year WALE.

Generating a net annual cash flow of $380,266, the asset is anchored by two national operators locked into long-term leases with fixed 3% annual rent increases.

The brand-new concrete panel construction, expected to reach practical completion in May 2026, delivers significant tax depreciation benefits from day one while minimising near-term capital expenditure.

Set across a substantial 2,823 sqm freehold site, with national tenant covenants, embedded income growth, significant depreciation upside, and positioning within a rapidly emerging retail precinct, this acquisition reflects the calibre of industrial assets Rethink Investing continues to secure for clients.

One of the most underutilised assets in commercial property is not within the building itself. It is the rooftop above it.

When the right solar solution is matched to the right commercial site, a $100,000 investment can generate approximately $29,000 in annual net income before tax.

After accounting for panel degradation and potential vacancy periods, commercial landlords can achieve cash-on-cash returns of approximately 20%–30%. Case studies across Townsville, Coolum and Erskine Park have delivered returns of 21%, 24% and 31% respectively.

Even fully financed systems have generated returns of approximately 14%–17%, net of finance costs. In suitable circumstances, this can represent a stronger return than the underlying property itself.

It is an opportunity created by approaching commercial property ownership differently and recognising the income potential of an otherwise unused asset.

Commercial property is not defined by one number.

The deposit is a starting point, but it is rarely the whole picture. Borrowing capacity, available equity, asset type, lease profile and ownership structure all shape what is genuinely within reach for an investor at any given point in their journey.

The question is less about whether the capital exists and more about how it is positioned.

Retail Investment | $3,750,000 | Net Yield: 5.41% | SA

An off-market, freestanding, diversified retail investment positioned at the entrance to one of Adelaide's fastest growing northern corridors, delivering secure income with zero stamp duty saving approximately $186,000.

Generating a net annual cash flow of $202,867, the asset delivers a diversified income stream across multiple tenants, anchored by Nando's Australia which has occupied the premises for over 10 years. The diversified tenant mix across medical, dental, hospitality, real estate and professional services significantly mitigates vacancy risk while delivering stable returns.

Set across a substantial 1,650sqm landholding, the modern two-level commercial building comprises 665sqm of lettable area with 35 on-site car parks. The freestanding configuration within a well-established master-planned suburb ensures ongoing demand from retail, food and service-based businesses.

Strategically located in Mawson Lakes, approximately 16 kilometres north of the Adelaide CBD, the asset occupies a prominent corner position at the Salisbury Highway entrance, benefiting from a dense residential catchment, the University of South Australia campus, and the adjacent Adelaide Technology Park hosting over 100 organisations.

With diversified income, strong land-to-building ratio, zero stamp duty, and positioning within Adelaide's rapidly growing northern corridor, this acquisition reflects the calibre of retail assets Rethink Investing continues to secure for clients.

"You might think you've got to be a motel operator and do it all yourself."

It's the assumption that keeps most investors away from an entire asset class. But a leased hotel isn't a hospitality business; it's a commercial lease with a strong tenant covenant, structurally no different from the industrial or retail you might already own.

In this exchange from episode 74, Scott O'Neill and Selin Ince walk through the reframe: what you're really buying, where the motel differs, and who each asset actually suits.
