520 _aRecommends that the private investor turns to commercial property investment and retail property in particular. The risk/reward ratio of commercial property is highly attractive compared to that of other asset classes: whereas residential rental income is typically poorly covenanted, sporadic and uncertain, commercial income is usually well covenanted, regular and certain. Explains why private investors should commit their money to retail property rather than offices. Advises always sourcing a property investment before sorting out the finance rather than vice-versa. Outlines the characteristics of a good commercial property investment and proposes that it is good to purchase a property before its next rent review. Lists Ratcliffe's investment rules.
