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.

Today we are going into detail on our quarterly goal setting process looking at why 12 week sprints are the most effective time period to focus on, what some of our focus areas were from the last 3 months and how successful or not we were in hitting them, and how the feedback from that helps us shape not only the next quarter but also how we approach the goal setting itself.
We look at our property goals as well as some of our business goals, and reference our recent podcast with Mike Clay a lot so make sure you check that out as well if this is an area that interests you.
To give you fair warning, there is also a lot of me getting angry at boats that fly past us and send the microphone flying, and a few mentions of instagram as well as we recorded this as an instagram live at the same time as recording the podcast.
Ultimately though I hope you get a lot of value from it, and I've said numerous times in the past I really think we owe a lot of our own success to regularly reviewing our vision, our goals and our strategy so if it's something you already buy into then there might be a few tips for you, and if you don't really give much attention to goal setting then listen with an open mind and we might be able to persuade you to reconsider.

Today I’m delighted to be joined by Remi Coghiel, an investor who started by learning a trade and working his way up the property ladder. But despite sharing some highlights of his career so far, this episode feels like a little bit more than that: you will tell straight away that Remi has a different perspective on a lot of things, and he isn’t afraid to go against the grain.
We talk about the sacrifice necessary to get started in property, whether that’s sweat equity put into early projects or cutting back on material perks short-term in favour of achieving bigger goals in the longer term. He’s definitely one to watch, and I’m confident that he’s got a fascinating career ahead of him.
But today, we’re just getting to know the backstory of the man behind the Wolf of Renovations.
