Natalie Shaw; 8 Different Areas of Risk for Property Investors
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: Lack of basic risk assessment Using the wrong numbers Debt management 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.

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. ------------------------------------------------------- Commercial Property Investor Social Links: JOIN THE NETWORK If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property why not consider joining the CPI Network?

Flexworld Hybrid Conference view of the Workspace Market [multilet, flexspace, WFH]
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.
