The ride may be about to get a bit more bumpy. The big "R" word is looming for a lot of countries and industries around the world. This week Jerry discusses key areas of an emerging recession: Flexibility of licenses to occupy rather than leases Cash-flow vs income Small space requirements Networks are more important that ever Instant space No capital expenditure Plug and play for downsizing or side sizing businesses You don’t have to stick with low-ball offers The market size can still be static or shrinking but you can still gain customers because of your offering type If one leaves you don’t go from 100% occupancy to zero!

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.

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.

Commercial Multiple Occupancy buildings or CMO is a fantastic way of scaling your property business. Most people have heard of HMO residential property investment, or homes of multiple occupancy, which is a tried and tested investment strategy. On this episode, Jerry delves deeper into this subject within the commercial property market and discusses some interesting trends both in the UK and USA.  Commercial multiple occupancy buildings give you a chance to scale up quickly  Your resources are concentrated in just a few locations.  You can really affect the building value which can then be leveraged for future purchases.  There are multiple streams of income  Annual turnover from just one location can be six figures  Purchase prices can be much lower than you expect  Tenancy law for residential does not apply here  Income can rise quickly due to shorter licenses  There are some considerable tax benefits over HMO investment  Business start-up levels and storage use is continuing to increase  Recession-proof  If you already have a business there are ways to leverage it to buy multilet property Join the Commercial Property Investor Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/commercialpropertyinvestor/Join us at the CPI-Network:A community of commercial property investors.
