They stay in their core competency.

Exactly.

I asked my tenant this exact same question, as to why he didn’t purchase the place for himself. He answered me very honestly about his business.

He said ;

To further elaborate….the tenant has spent 140K since moving in, renovating our property, and has transformed our sheds, and built 2 extra, over the past few months into a vibrant recycling station, where they bring 10,000 cubic metres per month of other people’s rubbish onto our property (in big skip bins, not the putrid…[Read more]

Seriously, if 30% of 215K (amounting to 64K) is too much money for you to tie up in a commercial property deal, then I believe you are playing the wrong game. I’d suggest finding another hobby.

OK Simon, I’ll take the bait on that one.
