Stop Chasing Yield — Start Understanding Commercial Property
You’ve heard the hype about commercial property.
Higher yields. Longer leases. Big returns.
But is it all really that simple?
I sat down with Steve Palise, founder of Palise Property — and yes, a fellow buyer’s agent — to break down the most common misconceptions about commercial investing.
We talk:
🏘️ Why commercial can be a game-changer for passive income
📊 When chasing yield is actually a trap
📄 The due diligence that actually matters
💼 How Steve went from engineer to full-time investor
💡 If commercial property has ever felt intimidating or confusing — this episode is for you.
