    Within residential, you will likely get better yields with properties such as dual key properties or those in regional areas compared to non dual key or metropolitan areas (depending on the area). However, you will obviously need to assess the area as there is still risk of capital loss in some areas (for example, in mining towns after the end of the mining boom).

    Residential will generally be less risk than commercial. There is greater likelihood that you will be able to rent out a residential property, it may just be a matter of price. In commercial, you have the chance that the property can be vacant for long periods and you may need to bear costs such as debt payments during that time when there is no cash flow. People need a place to live but not everyone needs a business premises to rent. I haven't given up on commercial property yet as it generally provides higher returns than residential but maybe not with the risk return metrics I thought may be possible.

    Thanks. I was focused on the cap rate, but agree the discount rate is relevant as well. I was seeking to see whether at current purchase prices in the market whether you can actually get a cap rate of 8%. Are your cap rates based on current market values or prices based on earlier purchases?

    Good question!
    I believe they were based on the last bank valuation.

    I'm actually interested to see what it will sell for. The agents for some reason put it in the 2m to 4m price range - but I doubt you'd pick that up for 4m!!! I agree 7+

    Comparatively speaking though for a childcare, I understand that cap rate is a bit on the low side. People I know are doing childcare at 10%~14% (in Brissie though - so lower underlying land value).

    No idea re smaller props.....

    Worse - you may have you loan recalled by the bank if you lose your tenant (with 30 days to pay).
    See the other comm prop threads.

    I checked with the agent. Price indication was $11 million, implying a cap rate of around 5%+, but with the market as it is this could even be a higher price and lower cap rate. Not quite meeting target returns!

    @Jack95 Hi Jack. What sort of progress have you made with this course? I checked out the webinar today (hence the search for online reviews). As I'm new to this forum I don't know the process for messaging you directly. However, I'd be keen to have a proper chat if you're up for that. ;-D

    I am interested if Helen actually purchased all that property in such a short space of time. The Low Doc loans on leaseback sounds very interesting. Havent seen any brokers here comment on this subject.
