So yeah, strange few days, but I wasn't expecting that.

No, because it popped out sideways and I thought, oh, it's just come out of the socket.

It didn't feel like a break and I thought, I've seen lots of movies where they've unpopped things and to be honest, I didn't really want to wait 90 minutes to get into the ambulance and I thought there's got to be a shortcut here, but definitely not.

Yeah, and I think it's quite topical at the moment as well.

Mostly because the residential markets have got so hot and in many cases unaffordable and the yields are at record lows.

Commercial, in my opinion, makes more sense now than ever.

And they're not as good value as they used to be.

So for the value investor who wants cash flow, this is a good alternative.

It's just about understanding the markets.

There's risks in it.

There's obviously some massive opportunities as well.

So we can deep dive into all of those.

Yeah.

So this is a big thing at the moment because there's obviously talk about high inflation, which leads down to, I guess, an eventual RBA rise in interest rates.

And reading the latest headlines, they're talking about an August increase sometime in August for the RBA to raise their interest rates.

So

Naturally, you think as an investor, what's going to happen to commercial property or residential as well in that matter?

And my opinion is I actually think it could be a relatively good thing for the market because when you get high inflation, which is a precursor.

to interest rate rises, you're actually getting rental increases.

And commercial property, a lot of the leases are attached to CPI incremental annual increases.
