Real property projects
Real Deals. Real Value Created.
These are real examples of how I’ve applied my Monster Value Add Strategy to identify opportunities, improve commercial properties and create additional value.
Featured case study 1Wollongong Deal
Self storage | Wollongong, NSW
$5.7m
Purchase price
~$8.0m
Formal valuation
~$2.3m
Valuation uplift
Valuation uplift reflects the formal valuation completed after the improvements. It is not realised profit, as the property has not been sold.
1. The opportunity
A rundown self storage facility running a manual, paper-based system. No website, no online bookings, no automation, no branding and no advertising, with poor security and a facility that was visibly underperforming.
2. Acquisition and control strategy
Purchased the facility and took direct control of management and operations, replacing the passive approach with an active, hands-on operating strategy focused on improving the asset.
3. Improvements implemented
- Improved facility management
- Introduced automation and online bookings
- Optimised rental pricing
- Added additional storage capacity
- Improved operational performance
4. Measurable results
The property was formally valued at approximately $8 million, an uplift of approximately $2.3 million against the $5.7 million purchase price.

Featured case study 2Central Coast Self Storage
Self storage | Central Coast, NSW
$3.2m
Purchase price
$5.35m
Formal valuation
~$2.15m
Valuation uplift
Valuation uplift reflects the formal valuation completed after the improvements, against a purchase price of $3.2 million. It is not realised profit, as the property has not been sold.
1. The opportunity
A self storage facility sitting at approximately 80% occupancy, previously managed by a real estate agent, with limited security and an outdated presentation that held back new enquiries.
2. Acquisition and control strategy
Took over direct management of the facility and ran it as an active operation, replacing remote agent management with hands-on control of leasing, pricing and marketing.
3. Improvements implemented
- Improved management systems
- Rental price optimisation
- Better marketing and online bookings
- Improved customer experience
- Operational efficiencies
4. Measurable results
The property was formally valued at $5.35 million, an uplift of approximately $2.15 million against the $3.2 million purchase price. Occupancy improved from approximately 80% to 100% under direct management.
Featured case study 3Alliance Self Storage - Central Coast
Self storage | Central Coast, NSW
$5.1m
Acquisition price
$5.95m*
Estimated value based on income
$8m+
Target value
*The estimated value based on income reflects the income the property now produces and is subject to confirmation. The target value is an estimate of where the value should sit once the project is completed, and is not a guaranteed outcome.
1. The opportunity
A self storage facility sitting at 60% occupancy, previously managed by a real estate agent and operating as "Tumbi Mini Storage". It had no website, very low rental rates, poor customer satisfaction and a customer toilet that was locked out of use due to disrepair.
2. Acquisition and control strategy
Took over management of the facility, replacing remote agent management with hands-on control of leasing, pricing, presentation and marketing, and rebranded the site as Alliance Self Storage.
3. Improvements implemented
- Rebranded from Tumbi Mini Storage
- Modern website with online bookings
- Automated systems and billing reminders
- Upgraded security and gate access
- Renovated customer toilet facilities
- Cleanup, landscaping and new signage
4. Measurable results
Occupancy lifted from 60% to 92% and income grew from $307k to $406k, with Yellow Pages advertising cancelled. The property now supports a current value of $5.95 million based on its income, with a target of over $8 million once the project is complete.
The strategy
The AB Value Add Execution Framework
Many residential investors accept low cash flow while waiting for capital growth. And many commercial investors buy properties simply to collect rent. My approach is different. I look for opportunities where I can actively increase income and manufacture equity.
Value add is different. You buy a commercial property where the income and the value can be improved by your own actions, then you do the work: restructure leases, lift rents, tighten operations, reposition the asset. That is where the equity is created.
Five stages. Each one a decision point. The same framework I apply to my own acquisitions.
Find
Identify overlooked commercial property opportunities with the potential to create additional value.
Analyse
Assess rental income, operating expenses, commercial leases, property risks and potential equity uplift.
Negotiate
Learn how to negotiate favourable purchase terms and structure acquisitions.
Acquire
Understand due diligence, finance, contracts and the commercial property acquisition process.
Create Value
Increase rental income, improve operations, negotiate better leases and reposition properties to manufacture equity.
AB Value Add Mentorship
Not another property course. Personal guidance on real commercial property opportunities.
I work directly with investors one on one, teaching the strategies I’ve personally used to find, negotiate, acquire and transform commercial properties.
Together, we analyse real opportunities, work through acquisition strategies and apply what you’re learning as you progress towards purchasing your own Monster Value Add commercial property deal.
The goal? To teach you how to find, negotiate and execute these deals yourself.
What the mentorship involves
- Five to six months of mentorship, with a minimum of 20 one on one sessions
- Every session built around your deals, your questions and your decisions
- Real commercial property opportunities analysed together, not hypothetical case studies
- Acquisition, lease, finance and due diligence analysis reviewed with direct feedback
- Clear work to complete between sessions, so your progress happens in the market
- Educational materials, frameworks and resources you can keep and reuse
- Guidance that builds your own judgment, so you can execute independently once the mentorship ends
This is education and mentorship. I don’t act as a buyer’s agent and I don’t purchase property on your behalf.
Private one on one mentorship. Applications reviewed personally. Acceptance based on fit and readiness.
YOUR MENTOR
Learn From Someone Who’s Actually Done It.
Andrew Bean. Investor First. Mentor Second.
I’ve spent years finding, negotiating, acquiring and improving commercial properties using my own capital.
Through my Monster Value Add Strategy, I’ve identified opportunities to improve rental income, optimise operations and manufacture equity in commercial property investments.
Today, I teach investors the same strategies through my private AB Value Add Mentorship, while I continue to source, negotiate and buy my own Monster Value Add deals. The teaching never stops being tested in the market I’m teaching about.
My focus isn’t simply teaching you about commercial property. It’s helping you develop the skills to identify, analyse and pursue your own Monster Value Add opportunities.
Real assets. Real operations. Real results.
Experience You Can Verify
My commercial property portfolio has been built through identifying, negotiating, acquiring and improving real commercial property investments. My experience comes from actively managing assets, increasing rental income, improving occupancy and manufacturing equity through my own investment strategies.
I also created The Commercial Property Show Australia, one of the country’s most established commercial property podcasts, and CP Data, a commercial property data platform covering transactions, yields and market metrics. Both remain in the public domain.
What I teach comes from what I do now, with my own capital, in the same market conditions you are investing in. Results depend on the opportunities you pursue and the decisions you make, but the skills are built on real execution.
