SO turned out I didn't get 'Christmassed' this year and chaos ensued in the run up to the holidays...
I was prepped to record a Christmas Eve words of wisdom podcast with my Mum and instead I'd had a full day of everything happening at once. So I used the pod as an excuse for some Mum wisdom... I explained everything that was happening and asked for her advice.
We're talking
Banks lending less than promised on commercial but more on residential Should I use additional lending to pay my tax bill? Can NatWest block payments from tenants I don't want to accept rent from? How to deal with last minute rent collection when I sound like I'm playing Christmas Scams Why my new lender 'Mr Cooper' left one of our properties uninsured.Plus more things that happened along the way

This week on the podcast I’ve invited my client Kulvinder to come and share his journey with buying his first commercial property.
Headline figures of the deal are:
Purchase price £310,000
Rental income £29,000
Gross initial yield 9.35%
With the rent increasing by £6k in 18 months
At first Kulvinder thought this was going to be a development, but after having the valuation carried out, the strategy changed entirely.

Purchase price £167,000 Rental income £18,414 Gross initial yield 11.03% 3 mini offices and 1 retail unitIt was purchased via Debbies' SSAS unencumbered.
All was shaping up to be a straightforward deal until the seller accepted a break clause between exchange and completion which meant the main tenant was going to try and leave.

The riots in the UK this week have been miserable to watch… actually I’ll step that up and say they’ve been embarrassing. What winds me up further is that they started from FALSE INFORMATION. I spent time at the beginning of my podcast this week trying to articulate just how angry and ridiculous this is… I want to talk about it because I can’t comprehend it and get stuck down rabbit holes researching it. Take a listen if you want to hear my take, otherwise skip it to minute 12:27 I understand if its all you’re seeing at the moment and are over saturated.
12:27 - Hurricane Debby and my Charleston House
16:35 - Let me save you HOURS on your commercial property search
