In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, we are joined by Jerry Alexander, an experienced commercial property investor, to dive deep into the Commercial Multiple Occupancy (CMO) strategy. With over 20 years of experience, Jerry shares valuable insights on how this model works, the benefits of reducing risk with multiple tenants, and the potential for significant cash flow. Whether you're new to commercial property or looking to scale, this episode is packed with practical advice and strategies.Episode Highlights:- Introduction to the CMO Strategy: - CMO involves renting a single commercial property to multiple tenants who share common areas. - The model reduces risk by spreading the income across multiple tenants, unlike FRI (Full Repair and Insurance) leases, where one tenant occupies the entire property.- Benefits of CMO: - The CMO model provides flexibility, allowing investors to adjust rental prices and quickly fill vacancies. - It generates better cash flow and reduces vacancy risk, as losing one tenant doesn't significantly impact overall income.- Challenges of Managing CMO: - CMO properties require active management, as investors need to handle day-to-day operations and tenant management. - Scaling is essential to making CMO more manageable, as smaller properties can become time-consuming and operate like a full-time job.- Tips for Getting Started with CMO: - Jerry advises new investors to start with a building that houses their own business, making them both tenant and landlord. - He suggests looking for properties that are partially tenanted to secure income while completing renovations.- Financing and Scaling CMO: - Investors should engage brokers early and explore private finance options for greater flexibility. - Larger properties tend to generate more profit as they spread operational costs over more tenants, making them easier to manage and scale.- Common Mistakes to Avoid: - Jerry stresses that size matters—smaller projects can become a job, while larger ones offer better returns. - He also warns against neglecting to reinvest in properties, as failing to upgrade can lead to lower rental returns over time.- Future Projects and Long-Term Goals: - Jerry shares his passion for historical and character buildings, which he's focusing on for future projects. - His goal is to build a property portfolio that runs independently, allowing him to step back from day-to-day operations.Tune in to hear Jerry's expert advice on mastering the CMO strategy and learn how to build a profitable, scalable commercial property portfolio!---Follow Jerry Alexander on Instagram @jerryalexander.commercial for more insights, and check out his Commercial Property Investor Podcast for additional resources and episodes on commercial property investing.

Jerry Alexander has been investing in property for over 20 years. He started off in residential and after a few years stumbled onto commercial property and hasn't looked back since. He has built several businesses in that time including LibertySpace, which has invested in and manages over 200 office and warehouse units on the East coast of Scotland.     In this episode:   we dive into the commercial property world of flex space and the CMO model (Commercial Multiple Occupation). Jerry explains many of the ins and outs of how this model works- from the types of tenants, to the types of buildings, and best locations as well.  We discuss where this model sits within the changing world of commercial property post pandemic. And why commercial investing like this, is a potential big opportunity that many residential investors tend to miss.     Enjoy!   ***************       Developers Boardroom 2.0   New Group Coming Soon- March 2024   Looking to surround yourself with a small group of aspiring developers; To stay accountable and progress to the next level?   Click here for more details         GET IN CONTACT.   Email- raj@propertyinvesting2-0.com   Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raj-chengadu-11381b69/   Now on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/propertyinvesting2.0/?hl=en      Guest:  https://www.instagram.com/jerryalexander.commercial?igsh=NjdjcmRna3owb3Zo       *Disclaimer* As always, the content in this episode is for informational and entertainment purposes only and are the views of the host and guests.

A few weeks ago I want interviewed by Michelle Cairns for the Your Property Podcast. I am conscious that we have lots of new followers and some of you won't know much about my back story, so I'm excited to get the opportunity to share that interview with you. We discuss my personal journey into the dynamic world of commercial property, how we stumbled into commercial multi-let properties. From my background in building engineering to my initial investing in residential properties, I'll reveal how I eventually embraced commercial real estate. Always decode market demand and a building's potential before taking the investment plunge. Tune in for inspiring tales of success with my commercial multi-let properties – boasting high occupancy rates and substantial value appreciation. We talk through the nuances of commercial property investing, including repurposing and savvy property subdivision. KEY TAKEAWAYS Location is important in commercial property investing, but there are many other factors to consider, such as understanding market demand and the ability to deliver what customers want. Educating yourself is crucial before getting into commercial property investing. There are resources available, such as podcasts and YouTube videos, that can provide valuable information and insights. Subdividing larger properties to suit market demand is a trend in commercial property investing. This allows for flexibility and creativity in repurposing buildings to meet the needs of different tenants. Interest rates have a significant impact on commercial property valuations. Understanding how interest rates affect yields and lease values is important in assessing the profitability of a commercial property investment. Focusing on a specific market and understanding its dynamics is key to successful commercial property investing. By researching and analyzing local market demand, investors can identify opportunities and make informed decisions about property acquisitions and developments. BEST MOMENTS "I count myself very lucky to have fallen into CMO investing and the great cash flow it produces." "It's just really important to remember that although there's loads of noise, actually what are the fundamentals in your local market." "The opportunity for us is a subdivision and taking these properties that don't really quite work right now and working out what the market demand is." "The biggest thing that we can do or the opportunity for us is subdivision and taking these properties that don't really quite work right now and working out what the market demand is." "The real value add for us now is that big building, that's where we're going to be concentrating."   If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property why not consider joining the CPI-Network of commercial property investors, who are working, learning and supporting each other on the Get in The Swim Membership https://commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/get-in-the-swim/Property Investing, Commercial Real Estate, Strategies, CMO, Lease, Licence Agreement, Cashflow, Vacancy rates, Agents, Best Commercial property podcast, how to buy, Valuations, ROI, residential, assets, Flexspace, office space, How to get started: https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/

In this episode of the Commercial Property Investor podcast, host Jerry Alexander is joined by his friend Steven Clark to discuss his recent Student accommodation project in Aberdeen. Steven shares his experience of transitioning from single let resi properties to bigger deals and commercial deals and explains why he was drawn to the student accommodation market. He details the process of finding and acquiring a building in a prominent location near the university, as well as the challenges he faced with the fire system and financing. Despite the hurdles, Steven successfully completed the project and achieved a valuation that allowed him to refinance all of the original investments out. He concludes by discussing the potential for future projects in the student accommodation market and the importance of long-term investments. KEY TAKEAWAYS The podcast episode discusses a commercial property investment project in Aberdeen, focusing on student accommodation and HMO properties. The project involved purchasing a building that had been converted into seven flats, with the potential for an eighth, all under one title. The financing for the project required convincing the bank that it was a commercial building rather than a residential one, based on the income potential. The project faced challenges with the fire system, which required significant repairs and replacement of heads, resulting in additional costs. Despite the challenges, the project was successful, with a valuation of £1.06 million, allowing Steven to clear out all short-term borrowings and leave no money in the investment. The property is generating a monthly income of over £5,000. BEST MOMENTS "If you've got the experience in residential, you can scale up to commercial-sized portfolio of buildings or projects inside the residential space." On reviewing the previous commercial project discussed on another podcast episode: "I can't remember how much detail we went into the last time but we pretty much got a good result on the purchase price and the exit." "I believe in the model and I would do it again, but it would just have to be the right opportunity."   Follow Steven: https://www.instagram.com/stevenclarkproperty/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenclark007/ Scottish Property Podcast: https://scottishpropertypodcast.co.uk/ For property training with Steven Clark: https://thisisproperty.info/   VALUABLE RESOURCES If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property why not consider joining the CPI-Network of commercial property investors, who are working, learning and supporting each other on the Get in The Swim Membership https://commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/get-in-the-swim/Property Investing, Commercial Real Estate, Strategies, CMO, Lease, Licence Agreement, Cashflow, Vacancy rates, Agents, Best Commercial property podcast, how to buy, Valuations, ROI, residential, assets, Flexspace, office space, How to get started: https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/

Today's podcast guest is Jerry Alexander, Founder of Commercial Property Investor and Director of Inshore Limited. Jerry is a successful commercial property investor who has built a multimillion-pound portfolio of high cash-flowing assets over the past 20 years. With a background in Building Engineering and Management, he ventured into various businesses and income streams before realizing the potential of commercial development. He is based in the central belt and east coast of Scotland. In this episode, we delve into Jerry's first large-scale commercial project, which, unlike many people who choose the commercial-to-residential strategy, was a commercial project redeveloped to remain as commercial. Jerry talks about how this deal has withstood the test of time over the last 14+ years and why he continues to seek similar opportunities where the multi-let approach of dividing one building de-risks the strategy amidst changing markets over time.

This is possibly my most awkward interview to date, because Jerry is a true expert when it comes to commercial property investing and I spent the whole time trying to think of answers beyond ‘we just make it up as we go along'. Jerry Alexander is the host of the Commercial Property Investor podcast and invited me on to talk about our own experiences in the world of commercial property investing.  I could talk all day about commercial to residential conversions, and in fact if you're interested in listening to me talk all day about them then on of our commercial to residential Open days would be the perfect investment for you, but in this case Jerry's real interest is in commercial property retained as commercial property, which I am a novice in.But it's an interesting discussion, particularly around how we moved from residential projects into commercial conversions, and some lessons I've learnt along the way, so I hope you enjoy, and if you feel so inclined, I'd be grateful if you could take a moment to leave a review for the show to help more aspiring investors discover it.  ===============================Starting on April 13th and running through until the end of the month I'm hosting a free series of trainings that will help you understand if HMO investing is the right option for you, and if it is, how to identify the perfect investment area to start growing your portfolio.

Mark Winship is joined once more by Jerry Alexander, to discuss the complex issue of risk management - how it can manifest itself in property, and how the ways we manage it can play a huge role in how we choose to invest. KEY TAKEAWAYS Too many people look at risk too simplistically. It is a complex issue and needs a broad perspective. We need to step back and see how the multifaceted aspects of risk can trickle down to other areas. When we take a risk, sometimes it opens up new pathways in which risk may enter, such as insurance or liability. We need to be constantly aware. It's worth taking time to work out contingency plans, so that we may embark upon differing forms of strategy and tactics. Risk management is not about ignoring risks. it's about recognising and analysing the risks and then taking steps to mitigate.  BEST MOMENTS 'What are the consequences of NOT doing something?' 'If that eventuality then this is my mitigating step' 'How much is it influenced by the person and not the situation?' 'Bravery is not the absence of fear. It's what you do in response to fear'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

#38The UK residential property market has been so HOT over the last couple of years that even expats have started to look at commercial property opportunities, given the reduced competition in this sector of the UK property market.In this fourth episode of the auction season, in which I have challenged myself to buy a property at auction within four months from my home here in Hong Kong, I seek out the expertise offered by Jerry Alexander, the host of The Commercial Property Investor Podcast as I look to buy a mixed-use building in a market town in the midlands.Jerry outlines the difference between residential and commercial property investing and details how the latter involves taking an commercial space and reconfigures it to satisfy the demands of the local market, thereby increasing its value. If you're interested in auctions and / or commercial property, this is a ‘must listen' episode!Jerry Alexander's website: https://commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/

Mark Winship is joined by Jerry Alexander to discuss the all-important topic of which property strategy is best to use at the start of your investing journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS The amount of strategies available can be daunting at first, but if we carefully boil down our own limits, and examine our goals, the natural choice presents itself. If you spread yourself too thin, it can be a costly mistake. Focus on one strategy to begin with - refine it - and then experiment with more. Always remember that our chosen strategies require experimentation. Never be afraid to admit that a strategy doesn't work for you. You can pivot and change whenever you want.

SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE VIDEO CONTENT - https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem This week, a panel of experts, including Mark Winship, Paul Murray and Jerry Alexander, to discuss the opportunity that exists in investing in commercial property, including the sub-strategies that can make this one of the more exciting areas of investment! KEY TAKEAWAYS Commercial property does require a different mind-set, but also shares many similarities to residential in terms of broader strategy. It is in the sub-strategies that the differences really occur. The commercial space is, in many ways, easier than residential as the level of competition in the space is greatly reduced. By gaining a better understanding of a geographical area, and then breaking it down into spaces to serve demand, then the search for potential opportunities becomes much easier. A large preconception is that commercial property is a far more advanced strategy that should only be tackled if you have considerable experience. A basic knowledge of residential investing will help to an extent, but there is nothing stopping you from starting in commercial immediately. Approach with caution and educate yourself! BEST MOMENTS 'Some talk about commercial as though it is a strategy. No - it's a whole new pantheon!' 'Once you know what you're doing, it's so much easier to find a strategy that suits' 'The opportunities are amazing' 'The business model is finding knackered buildings at a really good price and developing them into a space that people need - now!'

For some of you, the idea of being your own landlord is terrifying. For others, it's a compelling way to create operating income and build long-term wealth at the same time. Jerry Alexander has been running this combo successfully since 2004. He is a commercial real estate investor running seven flex office/coworking locations out of buildings he owns. He shares a bit about his flex operations, but more importantly, the value of investing in commercial property. Listen to our full conversation here.

Jerry talks candidly about the lessons he's learned during his career, and the strategies and opportunities he sees in the current commercial property market. KEY TAKEAWAYS A CMO (Commercial Multiple Occupancy) is a building in which all parties share services, but have their own unit from which to operate their business. The CMO projects work far better if all occupants pool resources and work together to create a sustainable, efficient space for all involved. There is no obligation to enter the commercial sector, but there is less competition, and there are huge rewards to be gained. For those already investing in residential, commercial is a marvellous step up. During periods of uncertainty in business, there is a tendency by tenants, to opt for a more flexible approach to rent. In the wake of COVID and its effects, many are trepidatious about signing long leases when the future of their company may be in doubt. BEST MOMENTS 'We're much better pooling resources, and it's the same for that type of offer' 'Everybody's contributing but together we can have more' 'I can really affect value and add lots of value, which is going to accelerate the whole thing' 'The industry is really good at making itself opaque' VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591 Commercial Property Investors Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/commercial-property-investor-podcast/id1502254406 Commercial Property Investors - https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/about-us/ Jerry Alexander LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerryalexander/?originalSubdomain=uk ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.

In today's episode, Dan speaks to Jerry Alexander. A property entrepreneur specialising in commercial property. They met on clubhouse and this is why they are having this conversation today! They discuss Jerry's journey, commercial multiple occupancy and how to get started, in business and property. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jerry has always wanted his own business. He went to university but was always thinking about doing his own thing. He worked for some construction companies and then onto product companies so he could learn to sell. He was successful at this and started to sell his own products, he then went into property. Jerry started in the buy to let market in the year 2000. Then in 2002 he got into the commercial side whilst trying to find a good deal. He spent time improving the space for the renters and charging them more over time. Then when the property was revalued he discovered he had increased the value by three times. He then knew he was onto something. In the property investing world things can go wrong. If possible it is best to have any potential liability ring fenced from the bank for such instances. Jerry believes in keeping property investments close to home if you can. If the deals are there, why make things more difficult for yourself by putting distance in between you and your investments. A great way to start getting into the commercial side of property is to buy something with an income, buy a vanilla product or buying something small. This is the lowest risk way to get started. Sometimes it's best just to get started and learn before going for something big and exciting.   BEST MOMENTS  “Little hassle income”   “Things go wrong now and then”   “Having multiple exits is something everyone should have on their radar”   “Get started sooner rather than later, start small so you can learn loads”   “Residential is the envelope that has many, many strategies in it”   ABOUT THE GUEST Jerry Alexander   ABOUT THE HOST Dan Taylor Dan has completed over 36 transactions with a value in the tens of millions, though more importantly, he has added significant value by combining creative commercial property strategies and business buying strategies.

Jerry was recently asked by a Mastermind attendee: Could you share the step by step process that you go through when looking at a property and analysing it as a deal? We have recorded some previous episodes about different elements of deal analysis but never pulled it all together before. In this episode Jerry covers the following pieces of the puzzle: Step 1: Ask yourself, “What is wrong with the property?” Or what can I do to make it work better? Step 2: Establish the vendors, current, acceptable price point Step 3: Check out the competition for a Price comparison and an indication of local demand. Step 4: Can I increase the rental rate above the existing or the current market level? Step 5: What can I do to increase the net lettable area? Improve efficiency in the layout. Step 6: What are the Operational Costs going to be? And what can I do to lower existing costs Step 7: The redevelopment costs Step 8: Offer and agree Heads of terms Step 9: Pay some fees. Step 10: Find the money and get the deal done Jerry takes you through the step-by-step process he generally uses. It will vary project by project and of course it is not a binary process, where he might complete one step and then start the next. Some of this will be running simultaneously.

Today I'm delighted to be joined by Jerry Alexander, a fellow Scot investing in commercial property but in a much more active way than the usual approach, enabling it to compete with more creative residential strategies from a profitability perspective.   It's an approach that Jerry has been refining since he bought his first commercial unit in 2004, and he's now got it down to a pretty fine art. It's all about adding value to property by increasing the rental income, as commercial property valuations are typically based on a multiple of the rent. This allows him to release much of his initial investment from each deal, ready to move on to the next. It's not dissimilar to the common buy, refurbish, recycle residential model, but the focus on commercial has many advantages. He's built an enviable portfolio with this strategy, generating over one million pounds per year in rental income. I'm confident you'll get plenty of inspiration from this episode, and probably a couple of ideas for your own investing too.  ********* Subscribe to our YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/insidepropertyinvesting Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting/ Access our free resources - https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/resources/

Commercial Property is increasingly being discussed in a two dimensional way.  It's as though commercial is a single entity banded together within the same rules and confines. When moving from residential to commercial property investment, there is a wider variety of strategies to implement. It all depends on how creative you are willing to get and which strategies work for you.

This week we are continuing with our deal appraisal series. It is interesting to think that amongst all the noise, talk of recessions and the death of the high street it is easy to understand why investors could be turned off from investing in the commercial property market right now. In this episode we provide a reminder that we are not investing in the whole commercial property market and critically that we are only investing in one specific building in a specific location with a specific set of local market demographics. Being informed of the market sentiment is wise, but don't let it be your only guide for local decisions.

In this episode, Jerry aims to answer the question: “How do you find out what the local market demand will be for my potential CMO or single let commercial property?” We get asked this a lot and it does depend on lots of factors. It is not something that you can determine with five minutes of activity. It takes time to learn about a specific area and the levels of demand. Jerry explains how he has done in it the past with a summary of 10 activities that you can do to speed up information gathering. Chat to local commercial letting & sales agents. Learn to ask the right questions. Join local business networking groups and ask the right questions. Look at National agent websites for signs on pricing, Yields, vacancy & property types. Search the online broker platforms for more detailed information Look on Gumtree, Craigslist and other platforms to see what smaller operators are offering Speak to Local Government business support agencies Get online and carry out a full competitor analysis Get out and visit the streets and commercial areas Check your relevant local government property tax website for details Who do you know. Think about your extended network, find the gatekeepers but watch for any potential conflict of interest. Listen in as Jerry goes through each of these actions in more detail on this episode of the Commercial Property podcast. These activities can help you build a fuller picture of the local market fast.   Join the Commercial Property Investor Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/commercialpropertyinvestor/   Jerry Alexander on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerryalexander/   Instagram for Commercial Property: https://www.instagram.com/jerryalexander.commercial/   Join our email list of Commercial Property Investors to be notified of the latest content and online support: https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/#contact   Listen to our podcast on your favourite platforms:   iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/commercial-property-investor-podcast/id1502254406   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0NjKNRcTE2z36s9qQYxslH   Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/commercial-property-investment-podcast

We cover the 5 phases of opportunity and give the bigger overriding factors influencing our thinking.   Plus learn about the 3 places deals will be coming from.   Also up for discussion is why certain properties sit trapped on the market for a long time and how our job as investors is to work out how to spring that trap without being caught with big liabilities. These properties can be picked up for very good prices, but not if you don't have a concrete plan. The 5 phases discussed are based around: The Immediate Pain felt by commercial property owners. Landlords that have lost customers. Owner occupiers who have been forced to close. LTV covenants will begin to break. The long game.     Join the Commercial Property Investor Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/commercialpropertyinvestor/     Jerry Alexander on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerryalexander/     Instagram for Commercial Property: https://www.instagram.com/jerryalexander.commercial/     Join our email list of Commercial Property Investors to be notified of the latest content and online support: https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/#contact     Listen to our podcast on your favourite platforms:     iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/commercial-property-investor-podcast/id1502254406     Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0NjKNRcTE2z36s9qQYxslH     Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/commercial-property-investment-podcast
