A Different Approach to Investing in Commercial Properties

Are you perhaps interested in investing in commercial property? This is indeed a smart move because the global financial crisis has depressed the market values of the buildings to below their replacement costs to build them!!. Commercial Property is a hard asset and a hedge against inflation that will occur in future as a result of all the central bank money printing today.

An even smarter move is to buy this property globally via listed property shares and spread your risk worldwide. Roy Tilley who is based in South Africa is a specialist investor in this sector and has lots of bargain property businesses mostly but not exclusively within the US, UK, Australia, Japan and Singapore.

Very few people can buy big commercial buildings for cash at bargain prices. Most people will struggle to get the finance if required. Transaction costs to acquire and transfer the property will also be high. One can get exposure to them by buying the property businesses that own the buildings however at less than 0.5%.per business cost.

The opportunities to buy cheap offshore property businesses with good net rental yields are enormous thanks to the global financial crisis. We can get pre tax dividend yields (net rental returns) between 7 and 15 % pa in global currencies and purchase the equity (shares) in these businesses at 50 % below fair value.

Own shares in office blocks, hotels, shopping malls, industrial estates, retirement villages, childcare centres and residential apartments all over the world.

If you would like to know more about what we can offer or have any questions to ask Roy, please email Marilyn at marilyn.mechsol@telkomsa.net and if possible give a contact number with country code and we will be in touch.
