A major barrier we see when it comes to taking the leap between residential to commercial property investing is the often limiting mindset of investors. Don't believe everything you think! Thoughts are thoughts and not statements of fact.

When we step back emotionally from a situation, and start to see the bigger picture, it reduces those distressing beliefs. We discuss some of the questions you can ask yourself to gain a more grounded perspective.

Resilience Mindset in Commercial Property (Residential to Commercial Property Investment)

This time, I share the top five business expenses of running a multilet commercial flexspace portfolio, incurred by our business over the past financial year. I'll provide you with a detailed breakdown of costs, including energy, staffing, interest payments, maintenance, and cleaning.

Through a comparison with the previous year, I highlight the significant increases in energy costs due to price increases and also touch on strategies for managing costs, projections for the upcoming year, and the impact of various factors on the business's financial performance. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


The top five expenses for the business were energy, staffing, interest payments, maintenance, and cleaning.


Energy costs saw a significant increase from the previous year, with wood pellets and electric expenses notably higher.


Staffing costs remained relatively stable, while interest payments saw a substantial increase.


Maintenance costs included both regular maintenance and improvements to the properties.


Cleaning expenses are surprisingly high, with additional costs for waste management.

BEST MOMENTS

"Energy didn't used to be our most expensive part of our business, but it is now and has been last year."

"I can't believe how much money we spend on cleaning."

"Our turnover is increasing. It's not quite where we've projected, but hopefully we're going to get somewhere near that."

What Are Our Top Five Biggest Commercial Property Annual Expenses?

I welcome back Bryn Walker, who on his return to the podcast is focusing on Small Self-Administered Scheme (SSAS) pensions and their intersection with commercial property investments.

Bryn, an experienced SSAS advisor, shares insights on the flexibility and advantages of SSAS pensions for entrepreneurs. The discussion delves into topics such as the application process with HMRC, the potential pitfalls of pension scams, considerations for lending money from a SSAS, and the minimum financial requirements for setting up a SSAS. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
 A SSAS pension offers flexibility for SME owners to invest in various assets beyond traditional pension options.
Bryn is launching a new SSAS administration company called SSAS UK in May.
Lending money back to the sponsoring employer in a SSAS comes with strict rules and considerations, such as security and interest rates.
Lending money to third parties in a SSAS is seen as an investment and requires thorough due diligence and trust.
The decision to set up a SSAS should be based on whether the investment justifies the annual running cost, rather than a specific minimum amount.

BEST MOMENTS

"I tend to find directors of small limited companies have requirements that are over and above normal because they're entrepreneurs and they tend to look for a more interesting type of pension arrangement." 

"Anything that's put in place to reduce the likelihood of a pension scam, I would have to favour."

"Everybody's circumstances are separate and different, and the way that SSAS works is complicated, and there's lots of, that lovely word, nuances, and you really need to get full and proper advice based around your circumstances."

Exploring the Nuances of SSAS and Commercial Property Investments with Bryn Walker

I talk to special guest Gary Wilson, about all aspects of project development in the construction industry. Gary shares his extensive experience in construction, project management, and sales, providing valuable insights and lessons learned from his career.

We look at topics such as the challenges of managing larger developments, the importance of trust and honesty in business relationships, and the significance of meticulous planning and attention to detail in project management. Gary also shares personal stories, including his background in kickboxing and his ventures into the alcohol business. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Gary has extensive experience in project development, starting from his background in construction and sales to his current role as a Construction Development Director at Taymouth Castle.
Gary learned the hard way about the importance of trust and partnerships in business, especially from a past partnership that did not go as planned. This experience taught him to be cautious and selective in choosing business partners.
Gary's involvement in various projects, such as the directional drilling under the River Tay, showcases his persistence and problem-solving skills. He faced challenges head-on and found creative solutions to ensure project success.
Carefully assess opportunities, collaborate with industry experts, and take calculated risks to achieve success in all projects.

BEST MOMENTS

"So the only way we can make this work is I become equity in my equity sweat, and I make this work for you, but you cut me in the deal." 

"So the offer's been concluded. It's been accepted and concluded. So we've now got to put the meat on the bones and take it from there." 

"If I can teach you anything about developments, it's never, ever give up. Keep going. If you've got a dream, if you've got a belief, keep going, keep at it."
