Most people who "waited for the right time to buy" in 2020 and 2021 are still waiting.

The timing-the-market instinct is natural. Nobody wants to buy at the peak. The problem is that identifying the peak is only possible in hindsight, and every year out of the market is a year of rent paid and capital growth missed.

The holding costs conversation cuts both ways though.

A property with a 3% yield and $15,000 a year in costs — rates, insurance, maintenance, body corp — is cash-flow negative from day one. Hold that for 10 years and you've funded a meaningful portion of the capital gain yourself, out of pocket.

A property with a 5.5% yield and modest costs is more or less neutral or positive from the start. You get the growth and the carry doesn't drain you.

Time in market wins over the long run. But the asset you hold matters — because the cost of holding it either compounds against you or stays manageable.

What's your current thinking on yield vs growth — where does your portfolio sit?

The most common version of "I did my research" before a property purchase is: drove past it, looked at comparable sales online, asked a friend in real estate.

Here's what that misses.

Flood overlay — some councils have online maps, most buyers never check them. We've walked away from properties that looked fine at street level and sat in a medium-probability flood zone.

Heritage listing — restricts what you can do with the property. Not on the listing. Buried in council records.

Easements — a drainage easement running across a back corner can wipe out the dual-occ potential an investor was banking on.

Zoning — "residential" is not one thing. R2, R3, R4 have very different development implications.

Body corporate issues — for strata, outstanding levies or pending special levies don't show up in a standard search unless you specifically request the strata records.

None of this is exotic. All of it costs money when it's missed after exchange.

What's one thing you wish you'd checked more carefully on a property you've bought?

The suburb that feels right and the suburb that stacks up are not always the same suburb.

Most buyers start the search with areas they've heard about, driven through, or know someone who bought in. That's not a bad starting point. It becomes a problem when it's the only data point.

What actually moves the needle on residential performance:

Population growth. Infrastructure pipeline. Employment concentration. Vacancy rates. The ratio of owner-occupiers to investors. Whether the suburb has already had its run or is still early.

I've seen buyers overpay in a suburb everyone knows is "good" and underbuy in a suburb 12 minutes away with better fundamentals — because the second one felt less prestigious.

The market doesn't care how the suburb feels. It cares about supply, demand, and income growth.

If you're starting a property search right now, what's driving your suburb shortlist?

"Residential feels safer inside super." Heard this one a lot.

I get where it comes from — most people understand residential. Commercial feels more complicated.

But the numbers don't always back up that instinct.

A residential property at $700K in a major capital city is typically yielding 3.2–3.8% gross. That's before tax, before holding costs.

A net-leased commercial asset at the same price — small strata office, a warehouse, a retail unit with a solid tenant — is often returning 5.5 to 7% net. The tenant covers outgoings. The cashflow is in a different league.

The real risk in commercial isn't the asset type. It's the lease — who the tenant is, how long they're locked in, whether there are options.

That's what good due diligence is supposed to answer.

If you're an SMSF trustee trying to work out whether commercial stacks up for your situation — happy to chat through it.

The cap rate compression pitch sounds good until you look at the lease.

Here's what it actually means: a buyer purchases at a 5.5% yield today, banking on capital growth if yields compress to 4.5%. In theory, solid logic.

In practice, a lot of these deals have a major problem — the lease is nearly up and the tenant hasn't committed to staying.

A 5.2% cap rate with a national tenant locked in for years is a completely different asset to a 5.8% cap rate with a tenant on month-to-month.

When we assess a commercial property, the lease gets read before the contract. We check: how long is left, what are the options, who pays outgoings, what does the rent review look like.

The yield tells you what today looks like. The lease tells you whether that holds.

If you've been looking at commercial and want to understand what the numbers actually mean — happy to have that conversation.

Capital growth and yield aren't competing strategies. They're a timing question.

Early in your portfolio: growth matters more. You need the equity. A 3.5% yielding property that doubles over 10 years builds more wealth than a 7% yielder in a flat market.

Later — or inside super — income matters more. A 6.5% commercial property with the tenant paying outgoings, funnelling income into your fund, is a completely different calculation.

The mistake is applying the wrong framework for where you are in the journey.

We see it most with SMSF trustees buying residential inside super because it's familiar, when commercial would serve them better on yield, maintenance, and land tax.

Right property at the right stage.

Where are you at — building equity or deploying it?

The most expensive mistake first-time buyers make isn't paying too much for a property.

It's buying in the wrong suburb because it was the only one they could afford.

Buyer has $700,000. Target suburb median is $800,000. They pivot to the next suburb over and wonder two years later why nothing happened.

Smarter move: look harder in the original target suburb for the outlier. The poorly presented property. The vendor who needs to sell. The one sitting 60 days with two price reductions.

Or reassess: $700,000 as a $500,000 investment in a higher-yield regional market while you save for the suburb you actually want.

Your location decision should drive your budget decision. Not the other way around.

What suburb are you trying to crack right now?

We talked a client out of a purchase last month because of a flight path overlay.

It wasn't in the marketing. The selling agent didn't mention it. We found it in about ten minutes on the council planning map.

The client was planning to rent it out. The rental appraisal came in about 15% below what the area suggested once the noise issue was factored in.

That's the work buyers agents do that doesn't get attention — not just finding the good ones, but filtering out the ones that look fine until they aren't.

We're not on the same side as the selling agent. That's the whole point.

That 7% commercial yield might not be the deal it looks like.

The cap rate tells you what the income is today. It doesn't tell you what happens in 18 months when the lease expires and the tenant walks.

WALE — Weighted Average Lease Expiry — is the number that matters more.

A 6% cap rate with a national tenant and 6 years left on lease beats a 7.5% cap rate with 18 months left and a business you've never heard of. Every time.

Always look at the lease before you look at the yield.
