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.
