What Type Of Commercial Property Is Most Profitable?

Image
 Hey All, I always wanted to purchase a commercial property that would bring high returns without making any effort. So, when I had accumulated enough funds, I invested in a property that was perfectly located in the middle of a commercial precinct. I was able to find a tenant quickly and started earning. However, the sector went through a downturn and I lost my tenant. The property was vacant for a long time and I was making a huge loss and then I sold it off. So, I realised that merely the location will not fetch you profits, you must look at other aspects.

News Corp says $4.4 billion deal to sell US real estate business Move is off

Image
 A month after abruptly halting plans for a potential merger of its major media companies Fox Corporation and News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch’s business empire said it’s no longer involved in discussions to sell its real-estate listings business Move to rival CoStar. The publishing company controlled by the Murdoch family had been in talks to sell the parent of Realtor.com and other real estate-related websites for more than $US3 billion ($4.4 billion), people familiar with the talks said last month.

The former engineering business consultant bought an apartment, renting it out for holiday lets before moving in himself, but discovered the 25-year caretaking and management contract on the building turned the sea change dream into a money trap. Now Melloy, 67, has joined a chorus of angry and frustrated voices warning potential Sydney and Melbourne buyers – thinking of joining the pandemic’s mass migration to Queensland – to beware of the state’s system of selling management rights on apartment buildings for up to 25 years.

Star Entertainment Group finances plummet $1.26b after money laundering probe

Image
 The Star Entertainment Group has posted a $1.26 billion loss for the first half of the 2023 financial year, driven by fines and major losses at its Sydney casino. That's compared to a $74 million loss during the same period a year earlier. Half-yearly financial results, released to the ASX on Thursday, included $1.3 billion in what the company describes as one-off costs, like the expected changes to taxes, $350 million in fines and the expense of ongoing reviews and new systems to fix problems.  That "one-off" figure could have been much bigger, because the sale of two properties counted against it.
