Clearly not everyone is as smart as you.

If you are looking at a straight investment that is the case. Not everyone that invests is a wheeler and dealer. I once worked for a commercial property developer and was responsible for putting a number of large deals together and I do deal in commercial today. Many investors are looking for a straight investment. If the economy goes pair shaped commercial property iss the first thing that looses money. In the early 1990s I saw many people loose there life savings who had invested in Commercial Real Estate. Commercial Real estate is riskier than residential and you do need to be more careful in what you invest in.

Nigel…..I’m not sure it’s a case of being smart or not…..else all of the Uni professors would be the richest in the land….and clearly they are not. The wife and I are some of dumbest and least experienced comm. investors around…..but then despite what the guys in suits would have you believe, we don’t think it’s rocket science.

We consider ourselves to be complete amateurs at this game…..little fish in a big pond so to speak…..I’ve bumped into some big fish swimming these waters though, it’s impressive as they sail on by. I’m always amazed at how someone with a 100 million dollar operation going on seems quite normal. It’s a pity most, if not all of them do not contribute to forums such as these.

Addressing the “risky” aspect, we’ve found if you choose wisely, work diligently, finance correctly, and attract and select your Lessee prudently…..the “risky” commercial deals can become extremely low risk indeed.

To throw many 10’s of 1,000’s of differing properties into one pot, to name but a few like warehouses, shops, CBD office blocks, wharves, petrol stations and the corner delis and put a massive aggragate blanket over the lot and call them all “risky” doesn’t help anyone and frightens away new investors.

Actually…..come to think of it….yes….they are all extremely risky…..wouldn’t touch any of them with a barge pole… [happy3]
