IS IT TIME TO BREAK UP WITH RESIDENTIAL
PROPERTY? Leading Buyers Agent Helen Tarrant
launches Australias first ever simple
step-by-step guide for everyday Aussies looking
to invest in commercial property Chinese-Australi
an buyers agent Helen Tarrant is Australias
number one commercial property buyers agent,
and with house prices fluctuating and interest
rates continually on the rise, she believes its
time Australians end our love affair with
residential property. Having built a
multi- million-dollar property empire herself,
Helen is finally unmasking the hidden secrets
surrounding the alternative investment pathway
commercial property. Traditionally, this area of
the property market has felt confusing,
inaccessible, and unaffordable for many
investorsand this is where Helens new book
comes in. This Spring, Helens first book Cashed
up with Commercial Property A Step-by-Step Guide
to Building a Cash Flow Positive Portfolio, will
launch in bookstores Australia wide. Published by
Wiley, the book will be a first-of-its-kind
educational guide that makes commercial property
investment easy to understand and accessible to
all no matter your age, ethnicity, or
background in investing. Whilst most of us feel
like we need to either win the lottery (or have
cashed up family members) to get our foot on the
property ladder, Helens own story proves this
doesnt have to be the case. After migrating to
Australia from China as a young girl, Helens
family had only 70 to their name. She moved
house 9 times and worked three jobs to support
her family throughout high school. After
completing a Master of Laws at university, she
founded her own beauty therapy business. She was
burning the candle on all ends, yet still felt
like she couldnt save, or find any work life
balance. It was during this time that a single
moment with her landlord changed the course of
her life forever My landlord would show up,
collect my rent, and then just go out fishing.
That was all he did. His income from the rent of
his tenants in our building meant he could live
the life he loved. Cue my light-bulb
momentmaybe I should look into commercial
property. After doing some research I found that
commercial property had the potential to halve my
investment journey time and help me make ten
times as much cash flow than investing in
residential. And so, I took a leap of faith
and never looked back, Helen says. In 2012
Helen purchased her first commercial property, a
Japanese restaurant in North Sydney for 395k.
Fast forward a decade, Helens property portfolio
is worth over 30 million. And due to the way
that commercial property is geared, during that
time, Helen was also able to build her income,
earning an additional 20k plus in positive cash
flow per week from her investments alone. These
simple ideas and lessons Helen learnt along the
way was what eventually inspired her to become a
buyers agent. Realising there were many
misconceptions in the market and no one really
educating everyday investors about commercial
property, she found a niche providing essential
education and strategies for the average
Australian seeking to get their foot in the door.
Helen now has helped over 1,000 Australian
investors find financial freedom through
commercial investment, with a total property
portfolio worth over half a billion. Cashed Up
with Commercial Property is unique in its
category, as it features real life case studies
and practical guides for what is required to
invest in commercial property. It provides
helpful comparisons on investments between
residential and commercial, as well as sound
strategies that any Aussie can use to generate
additional income as they work towards their
property/investment goals.

One such case study is Sydney mum Joey. With
three kids under five, Joey works as a compliance
consultant while her wife, Diane, is a dentist
in her own practice. Joey first approached me
when she had 11 residential properties, was
negatively geared and in desperate need of some
cash flow so she could support her growing
mortgages and family lifestyle. Over the past
three years we have helped her source excellent
commercial investments that would drive a sound
return and help her reach her cash flow goals.
In that time, we have secured her three
properties and close to 100k in passive income,
and thats after outgoing expenses, Helen
explains.
