Most ultra high net worth investors assume the same thing. The bigger the deal, the lower the yield. It’s the most common misconception at this level of commercial property.
In this episode of the Commercial Property Investing Podcast, Arjun Paliwal (CEO of InvestorKit) and Chris Huxter, Partner of Commercial Investments, walk through a live $20M+ shopping centre deal in Perth with Woolworths as anchor tenant since 1977. They break down the yields, the risks in a 50-year-old building, and why owning one of these beats owning 30 smaller properties.
