How to Make Money in Commercial Real Estate

Why are we still using a 1970s playbook to solve 21st-century inflation?

For years, property investors have been at the mercy of a "blunt instrument": central banks raising interest rates to crush demand every time inflation ticks up. But what if the problem isn't that we’re spending too much, but that we aren’t producing enough?

In this episode, Jerry explores a significant shift in economic thinking. Inspired by the recent appointment of Kevin Warsh at the US Federal Reserve, we look at why the traditional reliance on interest rates is a "rear-view mirror" strategy that often does more harm than good. We dive into the "supply-side" alternative—how energy policy, housing development, and productivity could be the real keys to a stable, growth-oriented economy.

In this episode, you will learn:


Why interest rates are often the wrong tool for inflation caused by energy and supply shocks.


The difference between "demand suppression" and "supply expansion" and why it matters for your portfolio.


The "Windfall Tax" trap: How government tax takes on fuel actually fuel the inflation fire.


Lessons from history: How the post-WWII era proved we can have growth without runaway inflation.


Why forward-looking economic policy is essential for the medium-to-long-term success of commercial investors.

Kevin Warsh, The FED And Why Inflation Isn't Just About Interest Rates!

When you start in commercial property, it is easy to have a very fixed idea of who your customers will be. You might think you are "buying an office" for "office tenants," but the reality is often much more varied, surprising, and flexible.

In this episode, Jerry pulls back the curtain on the diverse range of customers that have used his buildings over the years - from global brands like Uber and L’Oréal to local physiotherapists and even wedding parties. He discusses why moving away from rigid property categories like "office" or "industrial" allows you to see more opportunities and create more resilient deals.

In this episode, you will learn:


Why large corporate brands often seek flexible, short-term space rather than long-term leases.


The "backbone" tenants that provide the stability and steady cash flow for your portfolio.


How to shift your mindset from being in the "office business" to being in the "space business."


The surprising ways public sector tenants (like MPs and MSPs) provide long-term security.


Why allowing the market to drive the use of your building is more profitable than forcing a fixed idea.

Who Actually Rents Commercial Property? The Reality vs The Theory

If you listen to the news or scroll through social media, it’s easy to feel like the commercial property market is slowing down or that everyone is just waiting to see what happens next. But that doesn't reflect the reality of what’s happening on the ground.

In this episode, I share a "check-in" on the deals recently completed by members of the CPI network. We move past the general market noise to look at the specific types of assets being bought - from multi-let industrial sites to town centre offices - and the varied ways these investors are structuring their finance.

This session isn't intended to be a deep dive into a specific topic or a structured educational lesson, but rather a practical overview and a snapshot of the actual activity we are seeing within our network.
