In over 300 episodes, this might be one of the most valuable. This week, Jerry's having a candid, informal chat about the 12 things he wish someone had told him when he was getting started in commercial property. These are the lessons you only learn by doing deals—and usually by getting something expensive wrong first.

We dive deep into the mechanics of deal-making and long-term momentum, including:


The hidden truth about VAT on commercial property.


How to properly treat redevelopment costs (and why your lender cares).


The essential difference between Fundamentals vs. Strategy.


Why "Empty Space is a Cost, Not Just a Void."


How to balance and challenge professional advice (a lesson that once saved a client £200,000).


Mastering the Valuation Process (it's not just math).


Unlocking alternative finance options beyond cash or mortgage.

If you’re serious about making smarter, faster, and more profitable commercial property decisions, this episode is mandatory listening. Stop learning the hard way—learn from Jerry's mistakes.

LEARN ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTALS: If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property, why not join us for our 2 day Introduction to the fundamentals of Commercial Property? Learn how the market works and the ways in which it differs from Residential property so you can avoid the pitfalls and learn how to create successful deals.
