20/08/2023

Show Notes

    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.”
