As certain segments of the #residential #property market struggle with increasing losses, an expanding cohort of investors is strategically redirecting their attention towards the #commercial sector. This shift is propelled by the allure of stability and the promise of lucrative opportunities inherent in #commercialrealestate. Last week, The Age reported that two in five residential property investors in inner-city #Melbourne are selling at a loss, and many are in the red by tens of thousands of dollars. Across Melbourne, 16.4% of all investor sales made a loss in the September quarter last year, and the median amount lost was $42,250, CoreLogic Australia analysis shows. At Burgess Rawson, we're witnessing a surge of investors from across the country flocking to the commercial property sector as the residential market becomes increasingly challenging. In particular, first-time commercial #investors are becoming more active drawn to the strong fundamentals, ongoing #growth and favourable ‘set and forget attributes these assets provide. Valued Burgess Rawson client and investor, Girish Ramkrishnani told The Australian Financial Review that investing in residential in Victoria is getting harder and harder. He turned to commercial property after purchasing two assets at our last Burgess Rawson portfolio #auction event and he was confident of lifting those returns over time as rents increased annually. Amidst the volatility and uncertainty in the residential property market, many investors are turning their attention to defensive assets for stability and resilience. Defensive assets, such as properties in established, high-demand areas or those with consistent rental income streams, offer a safer investment option, particularly for investors at all price points, including those entering the market. These properties often provide a hedge against market fluctuations and economic downturns, ensuring a steady flow of income and potential long-term growth. Additionally, defensive assets typically attract more stable tenants, reducing vacancy risks and enhancing cash flow stability. By prioritising defensive assets, investors can mitigate risks and build a more resilient portfolio, regardless of their investment budget or experience level.

Ten years ago today, I landed in Nova Scotia with my wife, 1.5 year old son, and 1 month old daughter - excited and nervous. Little did I know, my engineering career was about to hit a brick wall with the ban on onshore oil and gas exploration. That wasn't where I hit bottom though - that came after a couple of tough years trying to find my feet in the financial sector – let's just say it wasn't my finest hour. But here's the thing – As Rocky would say "it's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward! That's how winning is done!!" And keep moving forward is what I did and continue to do. From those rocky starts, an idea began to take shape. The idea? To craft not just any financial planning firm, but one of the best in Atlantic Canada. A place where expertise meets trust, and where clients are provided plans based on their vision, values, and goals, not based on selling financial products. Fast forward to today, and I can say with a heart full of gratitude – we made it. We've built strong associations with industry leaders, and every client we work with reinforces why this journey, with all its bumps and turns, was absolutely worth it. So here's to the struggles, the setbacks, the hits, and yes, even the failures. They're not just part of the story – they ARE the story. They're what keep us grounded, what make the successes all the sweeter, and what remind us that the best victories are the ones you fight the hardest for. To anyone out there facing their own set of challenges – keep pushing. The road might be tough, but the destination? It's worth every step. And we are here to help! Let's do even better! Let's keep moving forward! Let's Design An Even Better Future!! https://lnkd.in/gfPWqyeu #DecadeOfDetermination #ResilienceInAction #FinancialPlanning #NovaScotiaStrong Halifax Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneurs' Organization Construction Association of Nova Scotia The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) Engineers Nova Scotia
