In this episode, I'm tackling a question I get asked all the time:

Who actually rents commercial space these days? 🤔💭

Turns out, it's not just start ups and freelancers 🤷 I'll walk you through the surprising variety of tenants we've had over the years - from international brands to some truly unexpected local businesses...

We'll cover:
Traditional office users (with some twists)
Unconventional tenants you might not expect
The growing health and wellbeing sector 💇💆‍♀️
How employees are becoming space consumers themselves

I'll also share my thoughts on why targeting specific sectors might not always be the best strategy, and what actually brings these diverse tenants together.

Ready to find out who might be knocking on your property's door next? Tune in and find out some useful insights about the ever changing landscape of commercial property tenants 🎧😊

Commercial Property Tenants: Who's Moving In?

In this episode, Megan and I dive into a candid conversation about the key lessons we've learned over the past 18 months while managing our commercial property portfolio. And trust me, there’s been a lot to navigate.

Here’s what we discuss:
Developing a healthy scepticism towards promises made by professionals (contractors, lawyers, accountants) and the importance of thorough due diligence 🥸🔍
The benefits of focus - knowing when to put projects "on ice" to concentrate on top priorities, rather than trying to juggle too much
Recognising when to bring in outside help, even if it feels challenging, in order to overcome personal roadblocks more efficiently.
Understanding the nuances of balancing a desire for premium service/experience with financial realities and maintaining healthy margins.

As they say, every day is a school day… and that couldn’t be more true here 😅.

We hope you enjoy this honest conversation! Our goal with these episodes is to share the real-world challenges and insights we encounter day to day, believing that our transparency can help others on their own paths. So if there’s a topic you’d like us to explore - whether it’s property, business strategy, or personal growth - let us know. We'd love to hear from you.

Megan & Jerry: 18 Months of Hard-Earned Property Lessons

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on some of the red flags 🚩 I've encountered when vetting potential commercial tenants over the years.

From subtle cues like eye contact, to more overt behaviours like a false sense of urgency, I outline the key signs that may indicate a tenant is not quite the right fit. But it's not all doom and gloom - I also highlight the positive indicators to look for, like transparency and professionalism .

Ultimately, it's about finding that delicate balance between filling vacant spaces and protecting your investment. And believe me, I've navigated that tightrope 🤸‍♀️ more times than I can count.

Key Takeaways:
Common red flags to watch for when evaluating potential tenants 🚨
Positive signs that indicate a tenant may be a good fit ✅
Balancing the need to fill spaces with the importance of thorough vetting.
