Commercial Property vs SIP — high-effort income or hands-off growth?
A commercial property can produce higher rental yields than residential, but demands more capital, active management, and carries between-tenant vacancy risk. A SIP is liquid and hands-off. Compare both on the same capital deployed.

Is commercial property's yield really higher than residential?
Commercial rental yields are often higher than residential in percentage terms, but come with longer vacancy periods between tenants and higher maintenance/compliance costs — the calculator's vacancy and operating-cost fields let you model that realistically rather than assuming the headline yield holds constantly.
