Podcasts about commercial properties

Merry Christmas! Whether you are listening to this on Christmas morning escaping the kitchen chaos, out for a festive walk, or catching up during that "blurred" week between Christmas and New Year, thank you for being here. In this special holiday episode, Jerry takes a break from the heavy technical deep dives to offer a moment of reflection. 2025 has been a "flat" year for many in the UK commercial property market—a year characterized by shifting government policies, regulatory changes, and a general sense of uncertainty. However, as Jerry discusses, consistency beats intensity. Today is about celebrating the discipline of staying in the game and preparing for the opportunities that 2026 will bring.

In a recent episode of How I Met My Broker, SPI host Liam Garman and director of Strategic Brokers Hung Chuy are joined by director of Australian Property Scout (APS) Sam Gordon to discuss the challenges and opportunities in commercial property investment. Chuy highlights the busy end-of-year lending period, noting that clients are seeking guidance amidst changing market conditions. Gordon reflects on APS's strong growth in 2025, including recognition as Entrepreneur of the Year and inclusion in the Australian Financial Review (AFR) Fast 100, setting the stage for a strategic 2026. The conversation explores the complexities of commercial property, including understanding yields, tax benefits, vacancies, and asset selection, emphasising that insufficient knowledge can lead to costly mistakes. Both Chuy and Gordon stress the importance of building a solid residential portfolio before transitioning into commercial investments to establish equity and minimise risk. Differences between residential and commercial lending were explained, including typical loan-to-value ratios (LVRs) and the potential pitfalls of cross-collateralisation. The trio also highlights the income potential of commercial properties, noting that passing most outgoings to tenants can offer higher net yields than residential assets.

Industrial property has long been the "boring" backbone of commercial investment—and that is exactly why it works. As we wrap up our deep-dive sector updates for 2025, we’re looking at the asset class that provides the space businesses genuinely need to function, regardless of economic fashion. In this episode, we move past the "Amazon-style" mega-warehouses to focus on what matters to the private investor: small units, trade estates, and workshops. We discuss why the "frothy" period of 2021–22 has ended and why the current "normalization" phase is actually the best time for sensible investors to strike.

This year, I've seen a lot of investors buying good commercial and mixed-use buildings... but quietly leaving value on the table. Not because the buildings are wrong, but because of how they're assessed and how they're held.In this episode, I break down two strategies I've personally used this year to increase commercial property value without development:• Buying mixed-use property without pulling value into the residential unit • Structuring ownership correctly by splitting assets between a SSAS and a Ltd companyThese are not beginner tactics, but when applied correctly, they can materially change value, financeability and exit options.What You'll Learn• Why over-valuing the residential element in mixed-use property often destroys deal quality • How commercial valuers and lenders actually assess mixed-use buildings • Why residential units should often be treated as upside, not justification • How ownership structure can influence value, risk and long-term strategy • When splitting a building between a SSAS and a Ltd company makes sense • The biggest mistakes investors make when attempting these strategies without adviceReady to Go Deeper?Book a call with the NC Real Estate team.

Co-host Adam Hobson shares the hard lessons he learned when buying his first commercial investment property - from the questions he should have asked to the pitfalls he fell into so that your first deal goes more smoothly. You'll learn: How commercial real estate differs from residential real estate as a money-making strategy The power behind a triple-net lease (and how it's just like owner-financing) What Adam would do differently after 15+ years of experience How he turned it all around (and made a five-figure profit) =================================== Connect with Matt and Spencer at Evernest: Evernest.co Hosts: Spencer Sutton and Adam Hobson Visit the Podcast Website: Evernest.co/podcasts Email the Show: podcast@evernest.co =================================== Production House: Flint Stone Media Copyright of Evernest 2025.

Another lawsuit against generative AI company Perplexity for copyright infringement The New York Times has had enough, and they have filed a lawsuit in a New York Federal court. In October 2024, the Times sent a notice to stop accessing and using their content and then followed up with another notice this past July. Perplexity continues to ignore the warnings and a spokesperson for the company, Jesse Dwyer, said publishers have been suing new tech companies for a hundred years starting with radio, TV, the Internet and social media, but that has never worked out for them. I think this is a little bit different since AI pretty much takes the content directly from the publisher and publishes it for people to read. The Times is also including infringements for use of its videos, podcasts and images. The Times said in the lawsuit they are seeking damages, which at this point is unknown and injunctive relief which includes removing all of the Times content from Perplexity's products. This would be a major problem for Perplexity if they were to lose this case because the whole AI system pulls information from all across the web, and this would leave a big hole in the end result of Perplexity's information. The Times is not the only publisher suing Perplexity, other lawsuits have been filed by Dow Jones and the New York Post. If one company were to win in court that would be a major problem for AI companies like Perplexity. First it would set a precedent and other publishers would likely sue, it could also lead to less accurate information as there would be less sources to pull data from.    Just when Apple corrected their major problems, it looks like there's a management drain Apple did a great job handling the proposed tariffs on its products, which would have devastated the company. Also, in court they managed to keep the $20 billion a year they receive from Google. But now, they seem to be fighting a management exit by some of their top executives. Over the last couple of weeks, it was announced that both their General Council and Head of Policy will be retiring next year. Another major concern was also announced in that timeframe that their Head of Artificial Intelligence and Strategy is also going to retire. Making matters worse, their Chief Operating Officer said he'll be retiring in July of next year. Don't worry about CEO Tim Cook being age 65, he said he is not considering retirement, and people at the company said he is not slowing down at all. It was also recently announced that Meta has taken from Apple a top designer named Alan Dye. Also Jony Ive, who is a Steve Jobs protégé and helped build the iPhone along with the Apple Watch, is heading over to OpenAI to help Sam Altman. It's not just the top people leaving though as apparently dozens of Apple engineers along with designers who are knowledgeable in audio, watch design, robotics, and much more are also finding a new home at OpenAI. Running a major technology company like Apple and striving for new innovation makes it difficult when a company is losing top management and star engineers and designers. I don't think this will cause a major drop in the stock short term, but it could be difficult longer term for the company when it comes to innovation and new products, which could concern investors in the years to come!   It's time to put some commercial property into your portfolio You may be questioning why would I put real estate like commercial property in my portfolio that over the last five years or so has had a return of maybe 7% versus stocks that have done much better? The simple answer is the basic investing principle of buying low and selling high. Looking forward, I believe commercial real estate over the next five years should get better returns than artificial intelligence considering the fact that it is very pricey. Data from MSCI revealed that year to date large investors have purchased $4.6 billion more US commercial property than they sold. That is the first time that has happened in three years, and deal activity is still low compared to history. US commercial real estate values are off from the peak in 2022 and are now down on average around 17%. Looking just at commercial offices, there is a better discount considering there are down around 36% from their peak. History shows this could be a very good opportunity. There's only been two times over the last roughly 50 years or so when commercial property prices were down more than 10%. You have to go back to the early 1990s, which was about 35 years ago, and who could forget the 2008 great recession. How should you invest in office buildings and commercial property? The best and the easiest way is to use public real estate investment trusts, which are known as REITs. Please do not let your broker sell you private real estate of any sort so they can get paid a big commission. REITs that trade on the market are commission free and completely liquid unlike private real estate deals. With public REITs you can many times receive good investment yields between 4% and 6%. However, make sure to understand the fundamentals to insurethat dividend yield is safe. A history lesson shows that commercial property under performed from 1997 to 2000 when the tech boom was happening, but when the tech boom ended and went bust, commercial real estate did very well. Could the same thing happen now as there are signs that the AI rally could end? If you do invest in a good quality public real estate investment trust, you should have at least a 4 to 5 year time horizon to hold that investment.   Financial Planning: The Benefits of Capital Gain Harvesting While many investors focus on tax-loss harvesting, harvesting capital gains can be just as valuable especially when you fall into the 0% long-term capital gains bracket. For example, in 2025 a married couple filing jointly can have taxable income up to $96,700 and still pay 0% on long-term gains. Because the standard deduction ranges from $31,500 to $46,700, and itemized deductions can be even larger, a household's total gross income can potentially exceed $150,000 while still remaining in the 0% capital gains bracket. If an investor wants to keep the same investment, they can immediately repurchase it, since wash-sale rules do not apply to gains. However, even though the gain itself is taxed at 0%, the added income may increase the taxation of Social Security benefits, pulling more of those benefits into taxable income. For those who don't face that issue, gain harvesting resets their cost basis and reduces the taxes they will owe later if they sell in a higher-income year when their capital gains rate jumps to 15% or even 20%. This strategy can also make sense for those currently in the 15% capital gains bracket who expect to be pushed into the 20% bracket later. Overall, capital-gain harvesting can be a powerful tool in years of temporarily low income.   Companies Discussed: The Brink's Company (BCO), PVH Corp. (PVH), Pure Storage, Inc. (PSTG) & The Kroger Co. (KR)  

This week, the tables are turned for our guest, Neil Munday, founder of the Sterling Business Podcast and a key property developer in Stirling, as Jerry catches up with him about his most ambitious project to date: the multi-faceted commercial redevelopment at 45 King Street. Neil shares the fascinating story of how he leveraged his extensive corporate background to tackle this complex, mixed-use commercial development, and the valuable—and sometimes painful—lessons he learned along the way.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact reasons why some commercial property deals stack up beautifully… and why others fall apart the moment you start doing the maths.Most investors think a deal stacks up because “the yield looks good” — but that's only one tiny part of the picture. A solid deal is built on verified income, realistic costs, a sensible purchase price, and a plan that actually works in real life, not just on paper.I'll walk you through:What “stacking up” truly means in commercial propertyThe 5 factors that make a deal workThe common pitfalls that cause even promising deals to unravelA simple checklist you can use on your next opportunityIf you've ever found yourself thinking, “This looks great… but something feels off,” this episode will help you understand exactly what to dig into before making an offer.Why verified income is your starting pointHow service charges, insurance and capex change the true pictureWhat a sensible purchase price actually looks likeHow to decide whether a deal offers upside or stabilityThe red flags that should make you walk awayA 5-point checklist to test whether a deal genuinely stacks upBook a call with my team to go through your next deal: https://ncrealestate.co.uk/bookacallTake the What Commercial Property Should You Buy Next? quiz: https://nextcommercialproperty.scoreapp.com/Explore NC Real Estate services: https://ncrealestate.co.uk/

In this episode of Inside Commercial Property, Phil Tarrant is joined by Sam Saad, managing director at Rethink Property Lawyers, for a detailed exploration of the legal frameworks that underpin successful commercial property transactions. This conversation breaks down the essential legal safeguards investors must establish before committing capital, from contract conditions and heads of agreement, through to lease analysis, outgoings, title searches and statutory compliance. Drawing on real transaction examples, Sam illustrates how specialist commercial property legal advice strengthens investor protection, prevents hidden risks from slipping through due diligence, and stops costly surprises emerging after settlement. This episode underscores the tangible value of tight clauses, accurate documentation and comprehensive legal reviews – all of which materially influence risk exposure, valuation and long-term cash flow.  Listeners will gain practical guidance on: Why commercial investors must engage a specialist property lawyer rather than relying solely on a conveyancer. How to structure heads of agreement and due diligence clauses to maximise flexibility and reduce exposure. The line between legal due diligence and commercial due diligence – and the distinct roles of a lawyer versus a buyer's agent. Key lease mechanics that influence returns: outgoings, make-good provisions, incentives, options, retail leasing legislation and cost allocation. The critical searches required before purchasing (title, PPSR, environmental, planning, notices, asbestos, cladding, flooding, and more). How to avoid common pitfalls with security deposits, bank guarantees and settlement handover to ensure legal protections hold up when needed. From interpreting complex lease packs to identifying gaps in recoverable outgoings and strengthening contract conditions, Sam explains how rigorous legal due diligence can protect hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of a commercial asset. This is essential listening for any investor seeking to acquire commercial property with full clarity, robust protections and the right legal structures in place long before settlement.

In this episode, Steve Wallis and I sit down to unpack what the latest UK Budget really means for commercial property investors. There's been so much noise, speculation and confusion over the past week, so we're cutting through the chaos and focusing purely on what impacts you if you own, manage or plan to buy commercial property.We break down the new tax rules on property income coming in from 2027, including the introduction of separate tax bands for rental profits and what this means if you hold property in your personal name versus through an SPV. We also discuss the increases to dividend tax, how this affects anyone extracting profits from a company, and why overall this Budget pushes investors even further towards using corporate structures.Together, we cover the changes to salary sacrifice pension contributions, the government's tougher stance on HMRC enforcement, and the move towards more automatic and regular tax payments for Self Assessment — all of which will influence cashflow planning and portfolio management.By the end of the episode, you'll understand exactly what's changing, how it affects your current investments, and where the opportunities now sit.

In a recent exclusive investor roundtable hosted by Smart Property Investment, Phil Tarrant speaks with InvestorKit's Arjun Paliwal and Chris Huxter to unpack real-world strategies, journeys, and lessons from the coalface of the property market. The trio underscores the value of having a community where investors can speak openly about money, yields, and strategies without fear or favour, turning what is often a lonely journey into a shared one. Paliwal reveals how he moved from banking into a data-led buyer's agency model that puts numbers ahead of aesthetics, helping thousands of investors outperform the national average. Huxter then details his shift from data centres to managing a $2.2 billion shopping centre fund and into the commercial buyer's agency space, reflecting the rising appetite for commercial assets. Around the table, investors discuss building multi-million-dollar portfolios, rapid property accumulation, and blending residential and commercial holdings for growth and income, showing how people from all walks of life are using real estate as a vehicle for long-term wealth. Themes of diversification, data-driven decision-making, evolving buyer's agency models, and the influence of family history and personal goals on investment choices threaded through the conversation.

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most talked-about but misunderstood concepts in commercial property — yield.I'll walk you through exactly what yield means, how to calculate it, and how to use it to understand both risk and return. Because here's the truth — a higher yield isn't automatically better. It usually means more work, more management, and more uncertainty.I'll also explain the difference between gross yield, net yield, initial yield, and reversionary yield, and what each one tells you about a deal. Plus, we'll look at how yield changes depending on tenant strength, lease length, property condition, and market confidence — and how you can use those insights to make smarter buying decisions.If you've ever looked at a deal and wondered, “Is this yield good?”, this episode will give you the clarity you need to answer that for yourself.What yield really measures and how to calculate itThe difference between gross, net, initial and reversionary yieldsWhy yield is a reflection of risk as much as returnWhat influences yield in commercial propertyHow to use yield as a quick filter when comparing dealsThe most common mistakes I see beginners make when they're analysing yieldsYield isn't just about return — it's an indicator of risk.A higher yield often means more uncertainty and hands-on management. A lower yield usually signals stability and less involvement.The key is to work out where you want to sit on that scale and what kind of investment suits you best.

In over 300 episodes, this might be one of the most valuable. This week, Jerry's having a candid, informal chat about the 12 things he wish someone had told him when he was getting started in commercial property. These are the lessons you only learn by doing deals—and usually by getting something expensive wrong first. We dive deep into the mechanics of deal-making and long-term momentum, including: The hidden truth about VAT on commercial property. How to properly treat redevelopment costs (and why your lender cares). The essential difference between Fundamentals vs. Strategy. Why "Empty Space is a Cost, Not Just a Void." How to balance and challenge professional advice (a lesson that once saved a client £200,000). Mastering the Valuation Process (it's not just math). Unlocking alternative finance options beyond cash or mortgage. If you’re serious about making smarter, faster, and more profitable commercial property decisions, this episode is mandatory listening.

Residential and commercial property may both involve bricks and mortar — but they're completely different businesses.In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what separates residential and commercial investment: how they're valued, financed, taxed and managed, and why switching from one to the other means changing the way you think about property altogether.If you've ever thought “I want to invest commercially, but I'm not sure what's different,” this episode will make it crystal clear.The FundamentalsThe difference between letting to people versus businessesHow lease length, responsibilities and vacancy risk change between the twoHow Value is DeterminedComparable-based versus income-based valuationsHow yield directly drives commercial valueFunding & FinanceWhy residential lenders assess you, but commercial lenders assess the dealTypical LTVs, interest rates and how I approach financing strategyUK Property Transaction Taxes (2025 Update)SDLT in England & Northern IrelandLBTT in ScotlandLTT in WalesThe abolition of MDR in England/NI and how the commercial rates compareResidential Licensing FeesMandatory, Additional & Selective Licensing explainedTypical costs, penalties, and how commercial avoids these completelyThe Mindset ShiftWhy successful investors act like CEOs, not landlordsHow I build systems that let my portfolio run without me doing every taskKey TakeawaysResidential property is heavily regulated and hands-on.Commercial property focuses on contracted income and long-term value growth.MDR is gone in England & NI but still available in Scotland and Wales.Six or more residential units usually qualify for commercial rates.There's no licensing requirement for commercial — saving thousands in fees.To succeed, you need to think like a CEO, not a landlord.

The truth about investing is simple: the fundamentals of a good deal are timeless. But the context we apply them in—interest rates, hybrid working, and planning reform—has shifted dramatically. In this follow up to last week's episode, Jerry cuts through the noise to show you how to spot genuinely lucrative opportunities right now. Learn how to adapt your strategy without losing sight of the core principles, why local commuter towns are booming, and the practical playbook for investors who move while everyone else freezes.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Kenton Harvill, Commercial Property and Casualty Broker with Higginbotham Insurance, who highlights the partnership with cityCURRENT and the shared commitment to community service and engagement. Kenton shares insights about his role as an insurance broker, highlighting the advantages of being a broker with many tools to help clients and the importance of proactive risk management services provided throughout the year. The conversation concludes with discussions about Higginbotham's core values, the value of mentorship in the insurance industry, and key trends in workers' compensation insurance for business owners.SummaryHigginbotham's Partnership with cityCURRENTKenton Harvill, Commercial Property and Casualty Broker at Higginbotham Insurance and Financial Services, discusses the company's longtime title partnership with cityCURRENT. Kenton highlights Higginbotham's commitment to community service, one of their core values, and praises cityCURRENT for its role in facilitating this mission. He highlights how Higginbotham is an employee-owned and customer-inspired insurance and financial services broker that specializes in business insurance, employee benefits, personal insurance, life insurance, risk management and more.Insurance Broker Role and BenefitsKenton explains how his insurance broker role differs from direct writers by working directly with and for clients rather than for a specific insurance company, allowing him to provide custom insurance programs and more comprehensive risk management services. He emphasizes the value of being proactive throughout the year, not just at policy renewal, and highlights the advantage of having access to multiple insurance carriers to find the best fit for clients. Jeremy notes the importance of brokers' tools and negotiation power, particularly given Higginbotham's size, which enables them to secure competitive rates for clients.Higginbotham's Community Impact InitiativesKenton discusses Higginbotham's core values, particularly their commitment to being generous to their communities and support for employees. He highlights the company's impact through initiatives like the Higginbotham Community Fund and partnerships in various states, including their involvement in events like the Kids Dental Day and Shoe Distribution hosted in Nashville, Tennessee. Kenton shares a personal experience from the Kids Dental Day and Shoe Distribution where he witnessed the joy of children receiving dental care and new shoes, emphasizing the fulfillment of making a positive impact on the community.Insurance Career Mentorship OpportunitiesKenton shares his positive experience working at Higginbotham, where the company invests significantly in broker training and development. He emphasizes the importance of mentorship and guidance, particularly for young professionals entering the insurance industry, which he believes is often overlooked as a career choice but offers great opportunities for entrepreneurial and self-starting individuals. Jeremy agrees on the value of mentorship and encouraged young professionals to consider the insurance industry.Networking and Workers' Comp InsightsKenton discusses the importance of networking for young professionals, emphasizing the value of building genuine connections and being involved in community events. He highlights the often-overlooked area of workers' compensation as a key trend in the insurance industry, noting that business owners have significant control over their premiums and can benefit from expert guidance to reduce costs. Kenton encourages mid-sized business owners to review their workers' compensation coverage and offers his contact information for further discussions.Visit https://www.higginbotham.com to learn more about Higginbotham or email Kenton Harvill at kharvill@higginbotham.com.

I hear this all the time — “I'd love to do more in commercial property, but I don't have enough time. I've got a full-time job, or I'm already managing a big residential portfolio.” The truth is, if you don't have enough time, it's because you're still trying to do everything yourself. Commercial property is a business, and you have to start running it like one. In this episode, I'm sharing how I approach my portfolio like a CEO — building systems, delegating, and budgeting properly so the business runs smoothly without me doing every task. I'll also show you how I find property like a CEO. You don't need to be sourcing deals every month — I plan my acquisitions over 12 to 18 months, schedule each stage, and make sure every purchase fits the long-term strategy. When you put the right systems in place, you create time and space to think clearly, make better decisions, and actually enjoy the process. If you want to run your portfolio like a business and get your time back, book a call with me at ncrealestate.co.uk/bookacall.

This week, the Cambridge City Council voted to raise the city's commercial property tax rate by 22%. The move concerns many small local businesses, who are concerned about how they would absorb the higher tax load and stay afloat. How might Cambridge's business landscape change because of this tax hike? We discussed this challenge for Cambridge businesses with Kari Kuezler, owner of Grendel's Den and The Sea Hag, and we invited not just businesses to call in and share their thoughts but residents as well!

Everyone's talking about hybrid work killing the office, but is that actually true for the private investor? Inspired by a listener question, Jerry cuts through the hype to explain how the hybrid model is really reshaping commercial property. Learn who hybrid working actually impacts (hint: it's not the local two-person plumbing firm), why major companies are choosing "smaller and better" spaces, and how HR departments are driving a new demand for regional hubs. Far from ending the office era, hybrid has simply made every square foot more intentional. Discover where the activity has really moved and how to position your investments to capture the opportunity.

In this gripping episode of Rethink Real Estate, host Ben Brady, CEO of Harcourts Auctions, sits down with Christopher Drzyzga, Partner and Senior Vice President at Voit Real Estate Services, to unpack the contrarian outlook shaking up the real estate world. From commercial debt cycles to the rise of Bitcoin as a competing asset class, Chris brings a level of insight and candor few in the industry are willing to share.They start by diving into the state of U.S. commercial real estate — from industrial and office to retail and the surprising resilience of strip malls. Chris reveals why lenders are “extending and pretending,” how the industrial market in the Inland Empire is recalibrating, and why institutional capital is quietly chasing yield in unexpected asset types like industrial outdoor storage and small-format retail.The conversation then takes a sharp turn toward macro trends and financial history, as Chris lays out a bold thesis: that real estate's five-decade run as the world's default savings vehicle is ending. He connects the dots from Nixon's 1971 decoupling from the gold standard to today's fiat-driven asset inflation — arguing that Bitcoin now offers the same protection once reserved for property. Together, Ben and Chris explore the implications: what happens when trillions in real estate capital seek better yield elsewhere?From the looming “flight to quality” in commercial assets to generational shifts in homeownership philosophy, this episode challenges every assumption about where the real estate industry is heading. Whether you agree or not, it's a must-listen for anyone serious about understanding the structural forces redefining how we measure value, store wealth, and invest for the next decade.Timestamps & Key Topics:[00:00:00] – Introducing Christopher Drzyzga and His Commercial Background[00:02:20] – How Commercial Agents See the Market Differently from Residential[00:05:30] – The Office Debt Bubble and “Controlled Demolition” in Lending[00:09:10] – The Industrial Corridor: Riverside, Rexford, and Inland Empire Trends[00:13:40] – Why Institutional Capital Is Targeting Strip Malls Again[00:17:50] – Data Centers, Power Constraints, and the Real Bottleneck in AI Infrastructure[00:24:00] – 2026 Market Outlook: Flight to Quality and Structural Shifts[00:26:30] – The Long View: Real Estate's Five-Decade Inflation Tailwind[00:30:00] – Bitcoin as the New Safe Haven for Global Capital[00:35:00] – Generational Wealth Transfer and the “Home as Utility” Mindset[00:40:30] – How Agents Can Stay Relevant in the Age of Bitcoin and AI

In this episode of Inside Commercial Property, Phil Tarrant and Scott O'Neill sit down with Dan Gallen, executive director and CIO of Pallas Capital, to discuss one of the biggest shifts in commercial investing: the rise of private credit. With banks tightening lending and investors demanding faster, more flexible solutions, private credit has surged as a key funding option in the commercial property market. But does it always serve investors best, or does it add too much risk? Dan shares his perspective from more than $10 billion in structured transactions, while Scott explains how financing decisions can transform long-term investor outcomes, from cash flow and yields to equity growth and risk exposure. Key topics covered: The commercial property funding landscape: Banks retreat versus private credit expansion. Private credit explained: Flexibility, higher leverage, and where it beats the banks. Risks investors must weigh before relying on non-bank lending. Real-world examples of deals made possible by private credit. Why financing strategy is central to long-term wealth creation. Listen now to discover how the right funding strategy can accelerate growth and safeguard your portfolio.

I don't know about you, but I get so frustrated waiting for those search emails to land in my inbox. By the time they do, everyone else has already seen the deal.So this week, I decided to flip the script. I gave myself 15 minutes to go out and actually find a property. No waiting, no alerts — just me setting some quick criteria, jumping on the portals, and running the numbers.In this episode, I take you through that exact process — and by the end, I had a real live property in Frome that came in at over 8% gross yield.Here's what I cover:Why search emails make you passive.How I set my investment criteria in minutes.Where I went to search for live deals.My quick yield calculation and how I ruled out the non-starters.The deal I landed on in Frome, and why it stood out.The key questions I'll be asking the agent next.Takeaway: You don't need to wait around for deals to find you. With just 15 focused minutes, you can be looking at a property worth chasing.If you'd like help building a repeatable system for finding and analysing commercial property deals, book a call with me and my team at NC Real Estate: https://ncrealestate.co.uk/bookacall
