Cashed Up with Commercial Property A Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Cash Flow Positive Portfolio

Did you know that investing in commercial property can dramatically accelerate your income and build generational wealth for your family? 

The secret is out: Commercial property investing is quickly becoming a mainstream strategy for Australians looking to build a property portfolio. Why? Because it can generate positive cash flow faster than residential investment. That means reaching financial security for you and your family sooner—not to mention more money for those home renovations, school fees, vehicle upgrades, or dream holidays. 

Author and specialist buyers agent Helen Tarrant walks you through how to build a commercial portfolio from the very beginning. Drawing on real-world examples and breaking down all the numbers, Cashed Up with Commercial Property offers a detailed, specific blueprint for successful investing. 

You’ll learn how to: 

• Put together your first commercial property deal, with tips on finance strategies, different property types and due diligence 
• Understand the commercial property lingo so you can invest like a professional 
• Build a portfolio that balances cash flow with growth, so you can benefit from ready money now and later 
• Uplift your properties and add value to your investments in simple, effective ways 
• Accelerate your retirement, with greater returns in a much shorter time 

By following the strategies that helped Helen build a $10 million investment portfolio, you’ll set up your own step-by-step plan for investing in commercial property—so you too can diversify your investments, create more accessible equity and find true financial freedom. 

Helen Tarrant is passionate about helping everyday Australians find financial security and retire faster through commercial property. She is one of Australia’s top commercial property specialists and founder of leading buyers agency Unikorn Commercial Property. When Helen’s family migrated to Australia from China, her mum had only $70 to her name. Today, using the commercial property strategies in this book, Helen has grown her investments into a $10 million portfolio. What’s more, she has facilitated over 700 commercial property deals—worth over $500 million!—for other Aussies looking to get ahead of the game and build a better future for their families.
