In Episode 61 of Inside Commercial Property, host Phil Tarrant sits down with Mina O’Neill for a rare and revealing conversation about what it truly takes to run a high-performing commercial property portfolio behind the scenes.

While most conversations focus on the excitement of acquisition, this episode goes deeper – into the daily decisions, systems, and strategies that keep a portfolio running profitably long after settlement. As the driving force behind the O’Neill family’s multimillion-dollar portfolio, Mina offers her perspective on what happens behind the scenes – managing assets across multiple states, tenant types, and property classes.

From structuring for growth and staying across the detail, to thinking like a business owner – not just an investor – Mina unpacks the practices that turn good portfolios into great ones.

• Running your first property like a business – not a side hustle.
• Diversify smart – locations, tenants, and asset types.
• Tools that work – how Mina keeps control with simple systems.
• Vacancies, leases, and maintenance – how to stay ahead of the curve.
• Finance that fuels growth – getting the most from your broker.
• Build to last – strategies for long-term wealth and resilience.
