Commercial Funding Guide & What Most Brokers Get Wrong | The Property Playbook

When it comes to commercial and business finance, many brokers say they can do it — but very few truly understand lender appetite, deal structuring and risk mitigation. In this episode of The Property Playbook, host Tim Graham is joined by Jonathan Kline-Spink, Founder of Market Street Finance, to unpack the critical differences between residential and commercial lending — and why specialist expertise matters. With nearly a decade building Market Street Finance into a 13-person team, Jonathan explains why commercial lending is not a “box-ticking” exercise. Unlike residential finance, commercial deals are story-driven, relationship-driven and heavily influenced by shifting lender appetite. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: • Why commercial lending is far more nuanced than residential finance • How lender “credit appetite” can shift without formal policy changes • Why structure often matters more than interest rate • The importance of relationships with bank decision-makers • How good brokers mitigate risk before submitting a deal • What separates a commercial finance specialist from someone who “dabbles” • Why many residential investors hit serviceability ceilings — and pivot to commercial • The critical importance of understanding lease terms when buying commercial property • Why you’re often buying a lease — not just a building • Common rescue scenarios where deals have been declined or mishandled • How bridging and non-bank solutions can save transactions • Why commercial lending is not covered by NCCP protections • The additional legal complexity involved in construction and development deals • Industrial vs retail property trends in 2026 Jonathan also explains why industrial property has been “on a tear,” why retail may be undervalued in Victoria, and how commercial investors must assess tenant quality, lease structure and recoverable outgoings before proceeding. The conversation reinforces a clear message: Commercial finance is relationship-driven. It is story-driven. And one small structuring detail can materially change the outcome.
