In Episode 61 of Inside Commercial Property, host Phil Tarrant sits down with Mina O’Neill for a rare and revealing conversation about what it truly takes to run a high-performing commercial property portfolio behind the scenes.
While most conversations focus on the excitement of acquisition, this episode goes deeper – into the daily decisions, systems, and strategies that keep a portfolio running profitably long after settlement. As the driving force behind the O’Neill family’s multimillion-dollar portfolio, Mina offers her perspective on what happens behind the scenes – managing assets across multiple states, tenant types, and property classes.
From structuring for growth and staying across the detail, to thinking like a business owner – not just an investor – Mina unpacks the practices that turn good portfolios into great ones.
This episode covers:
Running your first property like a business – not a side hustle.
Diversify smart – locations, tenants, and asset types.
Tools that work – how Mina keeps control with simple systems.
Vacancies, leases, and maintenance – how to stay ahead of the curve.
Finance that fuels growth – getting the most from your broker.
Build to last – strategies for long-term wealth and resilience.
If you’re serious about building a sustainable commercial portfolio – or want a practical look at what it takes to manage one – this episode is essential listening.
