Have you ever wondered why the rich keep getting richer and how you can join the ranks of the wealthy and successful?

Are you thinking of getting involved in commercial property investment?
Unfortunately, I've seen many investors go wrong with commercial real estate because they don't really realize that the rules for commercial property are very different from residential investing, and they are given a false sense of security from some of the podcasts and blogs encouraging this type of investment.
I bought my first commercial property in the 1970s, and I’ve made all the mistakes, but today I'd like to give you some clarity and direction regarding this.
So, I've dedicated this entire episode of the show to shops warehouses and offices as I discuss commercial real estate with Brett Warren, national director of Metropole Property Strategists.
