Is inflation about to bite us in the backside after so much money printing by central banks? If it were true and you knew inflation was about to return how would you alter your investment strategies? In this episode Jerry talks about three different topics: Why he thinks the conditions are coming together for a period of higher inflation. What evidence there is? What should we consider doing to hedge against inflation or at least reduce any potential risks, particularly in terms of commercial property decisions. The objective with this podcast is to get you to think about what you might need to do to make your investing more inflation proof. With more context around this potential issue you can continue your day to day business whilst keeping an eye on the key economic indicators as they happen around us.

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.

Funding the purchase of a commercial deal is one thing, but often the funding of the redevelopment phases might need an alternative source. In this episode Jerry shares 9 alternative ways in which you could finance the redevelopment of your project, the majority of which he has used himself on at least one occasion. From private finance to cashflow, grants & asset finance to tenant fit out. He explains which each one can do and shares some redevelopment finance experiences on projects he & his team have completed in the past.

Jerry shares some of the major lessons & real life commercial property deals he has gained from playing the board game Cashflow 101. The game was designed by the legendary Robert Kiyosaki of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' fame back in the 90’s and it is still relevant today. Jerry has been organising and playing at Cashflow 101 events for 20 years and has moulded a lot of his business and investments around the things he has learnt by playing the game. In this episode he relates some of the knowledge and thinking gained from the game with real life investment strategies. You don’t need to have played the game to get lots from this episode and hopefully by the end of it you will be excited to organise a game as soon as you can.
