🔗 Want to see how we can help you? Let's chat: https://calendly.com/naveen_merani/ne... ________ In Episode 2 of The Smart Property Investor, Naveen Merani sits down with Steve Palise from Palise Property - one of Australia's most recognisable names in commercial property investing. Steve did what most investors only talk about: he sold down the majority of his residential portfolio and went all in on commercial. With over 11 years in the industry and over 2000 property purchases under his belt, Steve brings a rare blend of analytical rigour and hard-won experience to a space many investors find intimidating. In this episode, Steve breaks down how commercial property actually works - from the mechanics of commercial lending to the realities of getting started - and challenges some of the most persistent myths that keep residential investors on the sidelines.

Not long ago, I was working in private and business banking across major banks, helping high-net-worth clients with complex finance needs. On paper, it was a great career - steady, respected, comfortable. But something was missing. I kept seeing a pattern: smart, hard-working business owners, professionals, and self-employed clients falling through the cracks - simply because they didn’t fit the cookie-cutter model the banks relied on. Their income was unpredictable, their structures too complex, their goals more ambitious than the system could handle. That didn’t sit right with me. So after more than a decade in banking, I made the leap. I left the comfort of the corporate world to build something more personal - something designed to actually serve the people I care most about helping. Now, as a mortgage broker, I work with people like you: ✅ Professionals buying their first or next investment property ✅ Self-employed business owners who’ve been told “no” because their finances are “too complex” ✅ People exploring how to use their super to buy property - but unsure where to begin My approach is strategic, but human. I take the time to understand your story - not just your payslips or tax returns. Because great finance isn’t just about numbers. It’s about clarity, structure, and having a plan that moves you toward your long-term goals. If you’re looking for a broker who’s been on both sides of the lending desk - and who genuinely cares about helping you build wealth with confidence - let’s talk. ________ DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organization.
