Why should you invest in Commercial Property?
Commercial investment is a powerful way to grow your wealth through stronger, more predictable returns. It often delivers monthly returns that are 2–3 times higher than residential properties, supported by long leases (typically 3–10 years) and built-in annual rent escalations. With quality tenants like national retailers, logistics firms, and medical providers, you benefit from lower vacancy risk and reliable income. Over time, this lease security and rental growth drive steady capital appreciation—delivering both strong cash flow and long-term profit.
“Why high-performing portfolios start with Property Strats.”

I had the pleasure of working with Steve Ash as my buyer's agent when purchasing my investment property in Melbourne, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the entire experience. From start to finish, Steve demonstrated a deep knowledge of the Australian property market, providing invaluable insights and advice that helped me navigate the often complex process of buying a home.

He took the time to truly understand my needs and preferences, ensuring that I was presented with properties that aligned with my goals. Throughout the process, he kept me informed, offered sound guidance on pricing and potential investment value, and helped me make confident decisions.
Steve's expertise extends far beyond just Melbourne—he has a comprehensive understanding of the entire Australian market, which gave me great peace of mind as I explored different options.

Steve was a wonderful buyers agent who helped us secure an investment property. He had in depth knowledge of the local market and provided us with numerous options (both on and off market) which aligned to our brief.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve Ash @Propertystrats. Steve and his team are a fantastic buyer’s agent who helped me find the perfect investment property. Their understanding of the market made everything go smoothly, and I’m happy to have signed the contract on a property in Perth that I’m excited about. I’d highly recommend Steve if you’re looking for a reliable and knowledgeable buyer’s agent.
Steve was recommended by a mate of mine who bought a property last year through Steve's help. The timing was perfect as the wife and I have been looking but have not had any luck. What I liked about Steve is that he applied the same high standards in evaluating a property as he would if he was using his own money to buy it. There were properties where we thought were good enough, but Steve would advise against due to reasons we might not have considered (e.g., flood map etc). He also put forward off-market properties before they've been advertised, which he's sourced through his extensive network. And even though we've given him our ceiling budget, Steve always worked within, never pressuring us for more than what we can afford. I highly recommend Steve as not only is he an expert in the property market, but he is a very honest and hard-working bloke who will do the right thing by you.
When my husband and I started looking for our Brisbane property, the market was moving so quickly we were losing out on the areas we wanted. Thankfully we found Pete and Steve. Steve was more than just our ears and eyes on the ground. Aside from going to each open house for us, Steve started first by understanding our needs: why we were buying, our long/ short term goals and what sort of strategy would work out for us. What I valued most was Steve was always on hand to answer our questions even on weekends. No question was a silly question for him. And it didn't feel like we were being pressured to buy. When we were uncertain about a property, Steve was always pragmatic in advising us to walk away if we weren't 100% - and that's integrity. We learned a lot from his expertise. Buying the right property is a full-time job in itself and we are so grateful Steve found us the right one that ticked all the boxes. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who is looking to buy either your 1st or 10th home.
We recently sought Steve’s help to find an investment property. Firstly, and importantly, he was a pleasure to deal with. He was patient and honest. He brought real expertise and great experience to the process and found several good opportunities for us. He then calmly guided us through each time. He never put pressure on us but would give his clear view with pros and cons. After a few near misses we finally found what we were after and Steve helped us get us over the line against some strong competition. We would thoroughly recommend Steve for anyone looking for assistance in this process.
