How to get started in Commercial Property Investment?

There are a few different ways to make a commercial property investment.

Buying a commercial property, yourself

Investors can make commercial property investments directly, however, it can be expensive and requires an investor to do research and understand the market they are investing in. Investors should also forecast the ongoing profitability of the investment and assess the potential for long term capital gains. Once purchased, you will then need to manage your tenants, and the ongoing maintenance of the property.

Unlisted Property Funds

An unlisted property fund  is a form of property investment that provides investors the opportunity to gain access to higher quality commercial property assets with a smaller minimum investment. By investing in an unlisted property fund, investors will receive units in the fund/trust which holds the property asset(s) that are managed by a professional property investment manager such as Centuria (New Zealand).
