Hello!
I’m Andrew Bean – a self-confessed commercial property nerd and the voice behind The Commercial Property Show Australia, the country’s #1 commercial property podcast. If there’s one thing I love more than a good property deal, it’s diving deep into the data that makes them happen. That’s why I founded CP Data, the first Australian platform designed to break down commercial property markets sector by sector, giving investors and professionals an unbiased, data-driven view of their chosen market.
My Story
Before I was crunching numbers and chasing high-yield investments, I was chasing baseballs. Growing up, I was an elite-level athlete who seemed to excel at every sport I tried (humble brag). I eventually dedicated myself to baseball, representing NSW and Australia before heading to Germany to play semi-professionally in 2006.
When my sporting career wrapped up, I needed a new challenge—and property became my next obsession. Since 2016, I’ve been laser-focused on mastering the art of commercial property investing, and in 2019, I took things a step further by drilling deep into the self-storage industry. Why? Because it’s one of the best wealth-building strategies out there, and I love uncovering ways to force massive value into high-performing assets.
Before all this, I worked for Australia’s largest defence company, leading teams that helped deliver cutting-edge defence capabilities. These days, my battles are fought in the commercial property arena—identifying, acquiring, and optimizing top-tier investments.
When I’m not scouting for the next big opportunity, you’ll probably find me in the gym, pushing my limits as a CrossFit addict. And, of course, I’m a proud dad of two, always looking to create a legacy that lasts.
I firmly believe that self-storage and high-cash-flow commercial properties are the ultimate wealth-building vehicles. My mission? To help investors grow their portfolios by securing stable, high-return assets—because financial freedom isn’t just a dream, it’s a strategy.
