Steve Palise says commercial property is sometimes viewed as risky when really it’s just not well understood.  The commercial property investor turned commercial buyers agent and the founder of Palise Property joins Get Invested to help you make more informed decisions on whether commercial property is for you. He recently released his great book that gives you a comprehensive run down of the entire commercial property arena, which is appropriately called Commercial Property Investing Explained Simply. Certainly, The dynamics of commercial property are different but they are no more complicated — they just need to be explained simply, and Steve’s book does a great job of doing exactly that. Commercial property has both advantages and disadvantages for investors compared to residential. In this regard, the choice of what to invest in needs to be driven by two key things; firstly, your purchase price capacity, as good commercial property generally comes at a higher price tag with a substantially higher shortfall deposit required.  Secondly, where you’re at on your wealth by stealth journey as I describe it in my book The Freedom Formula. In simple terms if your income producing investment nest egg is projected to be less than what is required to fund your ideal lifestyle then you need to go for growth, which means that good quality residential property may be the place to start, and then when your asset base is at the size it needs to be, then it’s a matter of accessing accumulated equity and converting to cash flow where commercial property comes to the fore. It is always a matter of horses for courses and investing in the right asset at the right time to grow and fund your ideal lifestyle.  And It’s imperative to never to invest in something you don’t understand – it’s too risky, unless you seek reputable investment guidance.  And from the commercial property front, this is where Steve comes to the rescue. Having acquired an impressive property portfolio that has allowed him to leave the workforce sooner rather than later, he’s now passionate about helping you to achieve your goals and financial freedom.  Steve has worked for Australia’s leading buyers’ agencies, executing more than 1,200 property acquisitions and acquiring hundreds of commercial properties for himself and his clients. He has purchased in every capital city and all major regional towns in Australia.  In his work, he draws on the mathematical and analytical skills developed in his previous life as a chartered mechanical and structural design engineer, to break down what works best in commercial property. As with engineering, commercial property investment is based primarily on the numbers.  Steve’s a licensed real estate agent experienced in sourcing quality commercial property investments. His philosophy is that investments should increase your wealth and passive income with as little risk as possible. He’s helped thousands of clients secure and purchase properties, and believes property investing should be not only smart, but enjoyable along the way! In his book, Commercial Property Investing Explained Simply, Steve educates you on the issues in commercial property investing and how to do it in a low-risk manner. He explains step by step how to analyse, select and buy commercial property, ensuring that the value of your investments will continually increase – so you end up making as much money as possible with as little risk as possible.

What type of person are you? What is your personality type? And how does it influence your investing?  As an investor, Steve Moriarty says your personality is critically important and you really need to know yourself. For over 20 years, Steve has been a highly successful full time private investor. He’s the founder and Wealth Coach at Next Level Wealth, a podcast host, author and former political adviser.  As you’ll hear in our great conversation, he also has an incredible wealth of knowledge of economic theory and policy and how this impacts on your investment strategy.

To identify your personality type, jump on www.truity.com or www.crystalknows.com to take their quick and easy free questionnaire to find out who you really are. In the context of my belief that sustainable success lies at the intersection of self, health and wealth, then knowing thy self is foundational and critical to your success because it enables you to see things as they are not as you choose to see them, and you’re able to play to your strengths and compensate and overcome your weaknesses to ensure you go the distance in your investment journey. Now as a special bonus for Get Invested listeners, once you’ve confirmed which of the personality types you fall into, you can email Steve directly steve@gonextlevelwealth.com.au to get your free personality type assessment and a related investment roadmap that’s tailored to your specific personality type.

We’re taking the journey into the brave new world of startups and startup investing, continuing the conversation with successful startup founder, tech startup investor and Shark Tank star Steve Baxter. Last week we delved into the entrepreneurial world as we followed Steve’s own journey to startup success and what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.  This week we take this to the next level to consider what makes a successful startup and how you can go about evaluating and investing in them. According to recent research, the failure rate for a venture fund portfolio is 40% to 50% in a given year, and 90% of all companies invested in will not make it beyond the 10 year mark. So the notion that only one in 10 venture capital investments will succeed is industry expectation. But the 10% of companies that do make it big can return many thousands of percent to investors. Understandably, typical venture deals are structured over 10 years until exit. The ideal exit strategy is for the company to go public via an initial public offering (IPO), which can generate the out-sized returns expected from taking on such risk. Other exit strategies that are less desirable include being acquired by another company or remaining as a private, profitable venture. So as an investment class, startups are an area of big risks with the slim probability of big rewards. So how can investors be successful at the startup game? This is where Steve Baxter comes in. As you already know if you listened to last episode’s part 1 chat, Steve became a celebrity startup investor as a Shark on the popular TV Show Shark Tank following his personal startup founder success with PIPE Networks, which was acquired for a whopping $373 million. Steve now runs TEN13, an investment syndicate platform for sophisticated investors to invest alongside him and the experienced Transition Level Investments team. Unlike many venture capitalists, Steve puts his own cash on the dash to the tune of an average of 15% to 20% of every seed deal. Enjoy startup investing insights from one of the best in the business. Steve's book recommendation: Ruins Of The Earth by Hopper and Chaney TEN13: So If you’re a sophisticated investor looking to diversify your portfolio and invest in top calibre technology companies, reach out to Steve and his high calibre TEN13 investment team who undertake exhaustive due diligence before they invest.

What separates the best entrepreneurs from the rest? Top investor, founder and ‘Shark’ Steve Baxter knows better than anyone. Steve is one of Australia’s most successful tech entrepreneurs who gives back as an investor and mentor, while also starring on Channel 10’s very popular Shark Tank Australia. In this episode we’ll look at what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur alongside Steve’s own journey, while next episode we delve into what makes a successful start up business and how you go about evaluating and investing in them. Steve is the living epitome of the old saying that ‘Today I’ll invest in what others won’t, so tomorrow I can do what others can’t!’ In 1994, at the age of just 23, Steve put his life savings of $11,000 on the line to launch his first startup, the pioneering internet service provider SE Net, from the spare room of his Adelaide home, as you’ll hear in detail during our chat. And it was around that time that I had the pleasure of first meeting Steve, as his business partner was a mutual and longtime friend of mine Chris Foote. Growing rapidly to service more than 35,000 customers, SE Net was eventually sold and acquired by Ozemail under the stewardship of its Founding Director and past Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. In 2001, Steve then teamed with a schoolmate to launch his second startup, PIPE Networks, a provider of wholesale telecom infrastructure that was listed on the ASX in 2005. Eight years later they sold it to the TPG Group for the princely sum of just $373 million – a truly hard fought and lifechanging moment. Steve then spent a year working with Google in California in 2008, leading a project to deliver high-speed telecommunications systems across North America. Since 2010 he has become an early stage investor in startups through his investment company, Transition Level Investments. This led to the founding of Brisbane tech startup hub River City Labs and the creation of Startup Catalyst and RiverPitch programs, and he’s been championing Australian startups and entrepreneurs ever since.  He’s also been on the listed boards of Vocus Telecoms, Indoor Skydive Australia Group and Other Levels as well as being on the board of Commercialisation Australia. Steve’s also been heavily involved in the early days of founding numerous industry groups and forums such as the South Australian Internet Association, South Australian Internet Exchange, Australian Domain Name Authority, and more. Steve now runs TEN13, an investment syndicate platform for sophisticated investors to invest alongside him and the experienced Transition Level Investments team, as unlike many venture capitalists, Steve puts his own cash on the dash to the tune of an average of 15% to 20% of every seed deal. TEN13 understands that to get great returns you need to invest in global companies, so they’ve built a global portfolio across five continents with a value of over $2 billion in its first 18 months. So If you’re a sophisticated investor looking to diversify your portfolio and invest in top calibre technology companies, reach out to Steve and his high calibre TEN13 investment team who undertake exhaustive due diligence before they invest.
