INSIDE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY #07: Investing beyond residential property
With residential yields compressing and lending policies tightening, many investors are hitting serviceability limits and reassessing their strategy. Looking at Prue’s investment portfolio, her experience shows how shifting from growth-focused residential assets to cash-flowing commercial property can unlock greater income, flexibility, and long-term financial security.
Son shares practical insights into navigating today’s lending environment, including the role of non-bank lenders, structuring considerations, and how to assess whether it’s the right time to pivot.
The episode also explores the structural and strategic differences between residential and commercial investing, including:

- How to assess whether it’s the right time to transition based on serviceability, equity, and long-term goals.
- The key financial considerations when selling residential assets, including tax, costs, and capital redeployment.
- How commercial property income can support lifestyle flexibility and retirement planning.
- The role of lending strategy, including non-bank lenders and self-managed super fund (SMSF) structures, in scaling a portfolio.
