  • In this episode, we kick off a two-part guide to finding undervalued commercial properties with actionable advice on mindset and market analysis.

    Mindset:

    Understand that finding great deals takes time, patience, and persistence.   Work on developing the right investor mindset: be patient, persistent, objective, and willing to take calculated risks.   Learn to differentiate between price and value, and set clear investment criteria. 

    Market Analysis:

    Go beyond the obvious to understand the underlying dynamics of a market.   Focus on submarkets and identify areas with emerging growth potential.   Analyse supply and demand dynamics and local economic factors.   

    We also introduce the crucial step of property-specific due diligence, emphasising the need to scrutinise financial statements.   

    Don't miss part two for more on due diligence and deal-finding!

  • Following on from last week's discussion on financing vacant commercial property, we're here to debunk another common myth in the property investment world:

    "A good deal will always find the money."

    While a strong deal is undoubtedly attractive, it's not a guaranteed ticket to funding. In this episode, we explore the importance of proactive relationship-building and strategic planning to bring the right partners on board for your next venture.

    Key Takeaways:

    The Illusion of Effortless Funding: A good deal can spark interest, but it won't magically attract investment. Building Strong Relationships: Cultivating connections with potential investors and lenders is essential. The Power of Networking: Leverage industry events, online communities, and social media to expand your network. Timing is Everything: Don't wait until the last minute to start securing funds. Start building your relationships early. The Importance of a Solid Business Plan: A well-crafted business plan can help you attract the right investors and convince them of your vision.

    Actionable Steps:

    To increase your chances of bringing the right people on board for your next project, start building relationships with potential investors and lenders. Leverage your network, attend industry events, and utilise social media to connect with like-minded individuals. Remember, a strong network and a well-crafted business plan are key to attracting the right partners for your future projects.

    Remember: A good deal and a strong network are the perfect combination for securing the funding you need.

    "A good deal is essential, but it's not a guarantee of funding. It's the proactive pursuit of relationships and the strategic planning that truly unlocks the potential of a deal."
