Our Commercial Property Refinance aka our trip to hell and back12 Sep 202400:30:22

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on a nail-biting two-year journey that tested my resolve, creativity, and sanity...

Yep, it's the one you've been waiting for; our refinance.

We dive into:

  • Our journey refinancing millions of £££s in loans 💸
  • My financial wish list vs. reality check ✅
  • The CFADS conundrum and why it sent us searching for new lenders 🔍

But it's not all number-crunching! We also share:

  • Surviving the emotional rollercoaster of endless loan extensions 🎢
  • Maintaining (or not maintaining) sanity under pressure 🧠
  • The hidden toll on family life and creativity 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
  • Nuggets of wisdom for fellow property investors navigating choppy financial waters.

This journey was by far one of the most challenging experiences of my business career to date. But we got what we wanted in the end, learned invaluable lessons along the way and now we're passing that knowledge on to you.

We hope this story resonates with you, whether you're facing similar challenges or just curious about the realities of property investment. If any part of this episode strikes a chord, we'd love to hear from you.

After all, we're all in this to grow, learn, and succeed. 🚀💪

Megan & Jerry: 18 Months of Hard-Earned Property Lessons05 Sep 202400:41:43

In this episode, Megan and I dive into a candid conversation about the key lessons we've learned over the past 18 months while managing our commercial property portfolio. And trust me, there’s been a lot to navigate.

Here’s what we discuss:

  • Developing a healthy scepticism towards promises made by professionals (contractors, lawyers, accountants) and the importance of thorough due diligence 🥸🔍
  • The benefits of focus - knowing when to put projects "on ice" to concentrate on top priorities, rather than trying to juggle too much
  • Recognising when to bring in outside help, even if it feels challenging, in order to overcome personal roadblocks more efficiently.
  • Understanding the nuances of balancing a desire for premium service/experience with financial realities and maintaining healthy margins.

As they say, every day is a school day… and that couldn’t be more true here 😅.

We hope you enjoy this honest conversation! Our goal with these episodes is to share the real-world challenges and insights we encounter day to day, believing that our transparency can help others on their own paths. So if there’s a topic you’d like us to explore - whether it’s property, business strategy, or personal growth - let us know. We'd love to hear from you.

20 Insights from 20 Years of Commercial Property Investing04 Jul 202400:28:02

Once upon a time, back in 2004, while Google was busy revolutionising email storage and Mark Zuckerberg was blissfully unaware of the social media titan he was creating, I stumbled into my very first commercial property deal.

Fast forward 20 years, and while I’m no Facebook expert 😅 I do have a pretty good grasp on commercial property investing. So, I thought, what better way to celebrate the past two decades than by sharing my learnings with all of you?

All jokes aside, this list might be one of the most important episodes I've done to date. It’s packed with things I wish I knew before getting started in commercial property.

Now, I'm not claiming to have all the answers. Even after all this time in the industry, I’m still learning too. In fact, some of these insights are fairly fresh epiphanies. However, they do all stem from years of real life experience and countless encounters - and some of them, just like point number 2 from my list, are just my professional opinion 😉

So, without giving away too much more, I hope you find this episode useful! Make sure you hit that play button and soak in some of my hard-earned lessons from over the years.

Let's dive in...

B2B Ep 4 - Can my 1st Investment be a CMO Building?15 May 202300:10:39

"Can I buy a CMO building as my first Commercial Property Investment?" is an often asked and fair question. When getting started it can be difficult to work out what size and type of commercial building to buy. 

It depends on the individual and their circumstances and lets not forget CMO buildings come in all shapes and sizes. Some can contain as little as two or three units.

In this episode Jerry reaffirms what a CMO building is and the different forms it can take. He then asks how passive or active an investor you wish to be and explains a couple of different elements you might require when getting started in this great cash-flowing strategy.

Our first & second commercial investments were multilet office buildings and yours can be too, if that fits with your investment criteria.

Multiple Ways to Add Value to Commercial Property04 May 202300:31:56

"How do you add value to commercial property?"

People always seem to answer it a bit flippantly: "Just find a commercial property, buy it, add value and enjoy the uplift." Easier said than done!

  1. Increase the rent
  2. Improve the leasing agreement
  3. Adding value through physical property changes.

Do All Flat Roofs Leak?27 Jun 202400:32:16

In today's episode, we're shifting gears from our usual focus on commercial property investing to delve into the world of flat roofs.

You might not know this, but I've spent over 25 years in the flat roofing industry. I've installed countless roofs over the years and have been running a company that supplies roofing products for over two decades. Needless to say, I've learned a thing or two along the way.

While today's topic might seem a bit out of the ordinary, flat roofs can significantly impact property valuations and ongoing maintenance. My goal is to share insights from my industry experience that I hope you'll find valuable.

We'll cover the basics of what makes up a flat roof, explore the various types of systems that can be installed, and discuss their unique features. Plus, we'll tackle some important questions, like:

  • Why do flat roofs leak so much?
  • Are warranties really worth the paper they are written on?
  • Is the product more important than quality of labour?
  • Is ponding of water really the kiss of death?
  • What do blisters mean?

(It's not a scary as it sounds, I promise 😂)

The key point to note is that, despite popular belief, well-installed flat roof systems should last a very long time without frequent replacements or leaks.

The secret lies in skilled craftsmanship.

Make sure to tune in and expand your knowledge. Whether you're viewing a Commercial Property or dealing with that dreaded tap-tap-tapping sound of a leak, being informed can help you make better decisions and possibly save you from costly repairs further down the road.

How Do I Get My Power Team to Perform Better on Commercial Projects?09 Mar 202300:22:12

In this episode, I delve into a topic that several of our consultancy clients have been grappling with recently,“why are my contractors and other members of my power team not performing?”.

  • Why are they not getting back to me?
  • Why are they unaware of the information you shared with me during our previous conversation?
  • Why don’t they understand layout design quite as much as I thought they did? 
  • Or why are they suddenly so flipping expensive? 

I discuss why it's crucial to acknowledge that the team which played a pivotal role in your current success may not be the same team that can facilitate your future growth. And of course that, each market has its own requirement for a unique set of skills and standards.

ESG implications for Commercial Property Owners (Environmental Social and Governance)02 Mar 202300:52:39

Alison Wood of the Edinburgh Climate Institute joins us from Edinburgh University to discuss the implications of ESG (Environmental Social and Governance) demands from future commercial customers and society at large.

We get to the core of the challenge, at least as far as we could with some political uncertainties and technological advances still to be sorted out. Having said that the direction of travel has been set  it is up to us to identify the opportunities and navigate the additional responsibilities that are being placed on all of us  

 

ESG is going to be the single biggest thing to impact the Commercial Property industry over the next 20 years. This interview will give you a sound base of understanding about what is happening around ESG. If you have any questions or comments then just drop me a message on Instagram or LinkedIn

10 Reasons NOT to Invest in Commercial Property..... [Mindset, investors, opportunity]09 Feb 202300:34:58

Whilst I am always a "glass half full" kind of person I want to give you a balanced view of Commercial Property Investing, including some of the challenges.

Any one of these could be your excuse for deciding not to get involved in Commercial Property. It isn't straight forward and there are barriers to entry, but most of those are mindset barriers rather than actual market challenges. They help keep the competition out and give serious investors lots of opportunities. 

Have a listen and see which you agree with and decide whether you are going to let them hold you back or get on with it. 

Thanks for tuning in. If you get value from the podcast please take the time to leave a review on Itunes or your podcast platform, every review helps elevate the podcast to more listeners and helps us bring on more guest speakers to share their experiences with all of us.

You may think we have it all worked out, but some of these embarrassing stories might shed a different light. 😀 Over the last 20 years there have been some interesting customer experiences. Jerry shares 10 of his favourities.

Spot knowledge gaps on your Commercial Property support team. Plus getting a hole in the wall12 Jan 202300:18:29

There are 4 key stages of a project that add value and importantly take a slice of the profit:

  1. Finding & buying the property
  2. Designing the redevelopment for the optimal outcome
  3. The actual redevelopment and fit out
  4. Ongoing Operations of the space

If you think about it, without the experience or understanding of operations how can you design the optimal space? And without the building acumen how can you know if an old redundant building can actually be converted into what you need?

All of these skills are interlinked. Does your design and building team know the intricacy of making it all work?

We don't need to know how to do all of these things but we do need to understand the importance of ensuring your team really understands what you are trying to do.

Natalie Shaw; 8 Different Areas of Risk for Property Investors24 Nov 202200:42:29

Natalie Shaw is an avid podcast listener and we were excited when she agreed to share some of her own knowledge and experiences from the financial sector and how we can apply them to our property businesses.

As we grow our businesses, we become more aware of risks and the potential ramifications of those risks on our portfolios. Most take a quick mental calculation of the risk and some mitigation strategy, sometimes accepting the risk is tolerable, but, it is important to develop a solid strategy on how to actually recognise the potential risks and what we can do about them.

 

Natalie shares 8 different areas of risk that she believes are sometimes neglected by private property investors. 

 

This first episode is structured around the following risks:

  1. Lack of basic risk assessment
  2. Using the wrong numbers
  3. Debt management
  4. Key man documents: what happens if you can no longer carry out the company functions?

 

We hope you enjoy this episode and encourage you to subscribe to the podcast to ensure you receive the second installment.

Residential Vs. Commercial Property Investing Explained12 Jun 202400:40:03

Do you already have some Residential and you’re on the fence? Is Commercial for you? Today we are going to discuss some key differences between Residential and Commercial property investing to help answer these two questions for you (and help you make a decision on your investing strategies).

It's important to know a Pension pot can make a serious difference to your Property strategies. 

If you have a residential property and you have a pension (SSAS or a SIP); investing in residential is problematic and difficult. However, commercial property can sit inside a SSAS Pension. I am not a pension expert, but I do know how to make a CMO work in conjunction with a SSAS

Some of the Key Differences at a glance; Commercial Vs. Residential

  • Commercial Investing; Differences getting into the deal; such as
  • There's no additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS) with Commercial
  • Land & Buildings Tax does apply
  • VAT - it might be applied – but you could claim it back (including refurb).
  • Can be up to 75% Loan to Value (LTV)
  • The Valuations, Surveys and lawyers fees are generally more expensive. The contracts can also be more complex comparatively.

So what about the Finance?

  • LTV dependant on Vacant Possession Value (value of the bricks & Mortar) or Open Market Value (value of the income/quality of your tenant).
  • Experience is important to lenders too (they want to know you’ve got it!)
  • Less lenders in this sector
  • Some will lend when the Commercial property is within a mixed portfolio, but your residential lenders might not.
  • Return on Investment (ROI) and Cashflow can be much higher.

Strategies- Commercial is not a single strategy
There's lots of strategies in Commercial just like in Residential.

Buy to Let (B2L)
Rent to Rent (R2R)
Deal Sourcing
Flipping
Lease options
Single lets & Multi-lets
HMO - CMO
SA – Serviced offices

There are many different locational differences; and values that will change depending on which sector you’re in; what location you’re in and what strategy you’re in.

Valuations
One of the key things is comparable properties to yours. This is to directly evidence the valuation given. In commercial, the comparable are there but they’re looking on the yields (What is the yield rate that the investors are expecting and paying for?), the covenants (quality of the tenant) & the length of the agreement (the security of the income).

Make sure to listen in to get an overview on all the differences as well as help develop your own knowledge and research further to make the right decision for you and your property investing. If you’d like to know more and delve deeper, make sure to join the CPI community and get engaging now

Key Moments

  • “Commercial is not a single strategy; So strategies could be things you’re very used to i.e. Buy 2 Let,Deal Sourcing, Flipping, Lease options, Single lets & Multi-lets, HMO - CMO & Serviced offices”
  • “There are many different locational differences; and values that will change depending on which sector you’re in; what location you’re in and what strategy you’re in.”
  • “…You do have a choice of being passive or active as an investor; and ongoing as potentially an operator”
  • “Most of the industry is geared up to people coming into the sector, to invest their money that they need somewhere else (rather than coming into commercial to try and develop equity & income and a living from commercial”
  • “If you can double the yield… then you might actually be able to double the price.”
  • “Why wait for the market to go up when you can force your own property value up (no matter what the market is doing”
  • “It’s a subtle difference”

Digital Signage: Extra income stream for commercial property owner/investors, with Craig Denholm10 Nov 202200:34:34

Commercial Property Investors can benefit from a lot more potential income streams other than just rental. Signage on the exterior wall or an un-utilized bit of ground can bring in a substantial income. Internal digital signage is another possibility depending on your footfall.

Craig and Jerry discuss what makes a good site and the different ways in which we can provide space for advertisers. It is possible to get involved at a granular level or have a completely hands free experience. It's up to you.

If you have ever considered this as a possibility for your location and wanted to learn more about this strategy then this episode could help to fill in the blanks.

Rent 2 Rent to get started in Commercial Property [R2R, strategy, property investor]27 Oct 202200:32:41

A regular podcast listener asked whether using a rent to rent model could be an option to get started in Commercial property. 

Whilst recognising it is not strictly a longterm bricks and mortar strategy it is a way to get into the swim.

It is actually a widespread strategy with many large serviced workspace providers such as Wework using this very technique to expand rapidly. 

If you have a trading business, then taking oversized space and letting it out to other businesses can build great cashflow, experience and credibility. 

In this episode Jerry covers a few key areas.

  • Why would you use this strategy?
  • Important things to consider
  • Benefits to landlords
  • Risks
  • Mitigating those risks
  • Management contracts
  • Competition

If you have any questions or topics you would like covered by the podcast then just get in touch and we will see what we can do.

Flexworld Hybrid Conference view of the Workspace Market [multilet, flexspace, WFH]29 Sep 202200:28:29

What are the trends in office and serviced office space? Jerry  shares some of the insights from the recent Flexworld 2022 Conference held in London.

Demand for Flexspace by companies who would traditionally use leased space is increasing at an exciting rate. Even the bigger players such as Land Securitys are getting in on the action.

The pendulum is beginning to swing back from WFH (Work From Home) as more companies and employees seek a better balance or hybrid way of working. How can this affect us and what are the  market opportunities?

ESG (Environmental, social & Governance) policies are becoming increasingly important in the decision making process for large Corporates, which is feeding down to their suppliers and ultimately some of our customers. 

Just some of the topics discussed in this episode.

Overcoming Challenges in Commercial Property Investing05 Jun 202400:22:26

Today we are diving into what's absolutely crucial to overcoming challenges and getting more success in commercial property investing (or any industry for that matter!).

Maintaining a growth mindset is key for experts or beginners and this is best done through listening & learning yourself. It may seem strange as an expert as you're often seen as or treated like a leader or font of knowledge around your expertise; but there's still so much to learn.

Do you manage to maintain your mindset when things become difficult? Or does it go by the wayside? 

For instance, during tough times I have seen many investors get discouraged. Leading to a fixed mindset, where they cannot see out of the box (where they see their current difficulties are permanent and insurmountable. This mindset can stifle growth and innovation (it can be hard to come back)

How to avoid a Fixed - Mindset

  • Compartmentalising - this is where you treat things or process tasks and challenges separately. It is knowing when to park it to move on and deal with the next problem or task. The key is to recognise the things you can change or control to take pressure away from those that you have zero control or ability to affect in the immediate future. Along side this is the recognition of time; Rome was not built in a day and some things require time for others to act, processes to adhere to and stages to complete.
  • Networking - Putting yourself out there to meet and see others working (which is inspiring and counterbalances & can really make the difference).
  • Know when to Back Off (or when to push ahead). Its not an exact science. Its knowing when to go all in at the clutch, but equally when to step back and cruise to reserve energy.
  • Embrace Challenges - see them as opportunities (Check out last weeks episode for more on this!). A chance to learn, rather than an obstacle.
  • Acknowledge and learn from Criticism - use feedback as a tool for improvement.
  • Recognise efforts and perseverance as well as the wins

“ A growth mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed; through dedication, hard work and continual learning" - Carol Dweck

KEY MOMENTS

  • "Mindset is simple; when you think or claim you know everything, your knowledge is limted to what you've achieved so far. thats it. finito!"
  • "When you're focused on learning more & more every day; your mindset is set on growth"
  • “This moment right there, is what I am talking about; The mountains have closed in, the weather’s taken a turn and the navigation system is failing.
  • “Some will give up, right here-and-now; most will push on. Some will then, when required, push on again. But even the strongest willed begin to have doubt…”
  • “Even the strongest willed begin to have doubts… survival becomes the key focus, and not growth.”
  • “A growth mindset fosters resilience, creativity and a willingness to take on challenges & to find out the best solution”
  • “Challenges are inevitable, of course; but how we respond to them can make all the difference”
  • “ I cannot overstate the power of focussing on one-to-one conversations with those around you (your mentors or mentees) as this is key to growth”

Why FlexSpace is going to prosper during the cost of living crisis, if you get your marketing right.01 Sep 202200:18:06

There are two main trends going on in commercial property right now that Flexspace operators and investors could benefit from.

  1. The cost of living crisis is creating a huge amount of uncertainty for business. All inclusive licenses can provide the certainty businesses crave. 
  2. The WFH (Work from home) revolution is beginning to bite back. Employees and freelancers are beginning to feel the pinch working from a home they have to heat and power. More of our clients are moving into local flexspaces to save on the bills and to meet other humans. Similarly the employers that downsized their space are having to seek out larger spaces as more employees come back to work.

There is always opportunity during times of disruption and uncertainty. Our job is to stay calm and find them. This episode will give you an insight into how we are responding to this ever changing market place.

How much money do I need to get started in Commercial Property? [lending, investing, finance]25 Aug 202200:20:28

Its funny really, some potential investors stay away because of the myth…"you need lots of money and a degree in the dark arts".

Others may class themselves in the group that have access to a large amount of money, perhaps a pension pot but no knowledge.

One thing is for sure, it is different for every investor. 

In this episode Jerry talks to the investor who is new to commercial property and talks through some entry level deals and how you can purchase that first deal with limited available funds. 

Jerry Covers:

  • lending,
  • entry level deals for less than £100K
  • other strategies for investing with little or no money
  • and raising finance if you don’t really have any.

How we grew from £385 turnover to £100,000 per month. [scale up, property business, LibertySpace]18 Aug 202200:20:56

"How do I scale my property business?" is a question most property investors ask themselves, sometimes at multiple stages. 

The answer will depend on lots of factors pertinent to that specific investor, however there are some fundamentals that transcend all the different strategies we can employ.

In this episode Jerry shares some of the details on how LibertySpace has grown from a small residential property company with a modest income to a monthly turnover of over £100,000 purely from commercial assets. 

He shares the steps that anyone can take to do the same and in a quicker time frame.
