Wait, Worry or Pivot? Investing When Rates Rise
Rates are up. Residential yields are getting squeezed and most investors are frozen. The ones with capital are repositioning. Join Unikorn's commercial property experts live to unpack what higher rates mean, where the opportunity has moved, and what needs to stack up before your next move.
Two questions investors should be asking now.
Where is the opportunity now?
Why commercial assets with long leases, tenant-paid outgoings and stronger net yields hold up when rates rise, and where the Unikorn team is finding deals.
Wait, worry or pivot?
How to think about deploying capital, equity or super in the current environment, and what needs to stack up before you act.
What higher rates actually change
Why rate rises hit residential harder than commercial
How experienced investors are assessing opportunities
What to consider before your next move
This session is for you if:
- ✓You have capital, equity or super available and are considering where to deploy it next
- ✓You already invest in property and want to understand how the rate environment changes the commercial opportunity
- ✓You're considering commercial property as part of a broader wealth or income strategy
- ✓You want to hear what people actively working in commercial property are seeing right now
Higher rates change the numbers. They don't remove the opportunity.
When rates move, so do borrowing costs, yields, valuations and the numbers that make a deal stack up.
For investors with capital, equity or super available, the question isn't whether rates are higher. It's whether your money is in assets that still pay their way when they are.
This session is different. You'll hear from people who work in commercial property every day — a commercial buyer's agent, a senior strategist and a commercial property coach — sharing what they've seen work, what they've seen go wrong, and what they're telling clients right now.
A conversation, not a lecture.
One hour, live. Belinda, Charmaine and Ric unpack what the rate shift means in practice, what they're seeing across commercial property, and how investors should think about their next move. Bring your questions. They'll leave plenty of time to answer them.
Walk away with a clearer view of your next move.
A practical understanding of what has changed, what hasn't, and what to consider before deploying capital in today's market.
