Today's podcast guest is Jerry Alexander, Founder of Commercial Property Investor and Director of Inshore Limited. Jerry is a successful commercial property investor who has built a multimillion-pound portfolio of high cash-flowing assets over the past 20 years. With a background in Building Engineering and Management, he ventured into various businesses and income streams before realizing the potential of commercial development. He is based in the central belt and east coast of Scotland.
In this episode, we delve into Jerry's first large-scale commercial project, which, unlike many people who choose the commercial-to-residential strategy, was a commercial project redeveloped to remain as commercial. Jerry talks about how this deal has withstood the test of time over the last 14+ years and why he continues to seek similar opportunities where the multi-let approach of dividing one building de-risks the strategy amidst changing markets over time.

This week my guest Jacquie Edwards came to the UK from America and for as long as she can remember her dream was to do what ever she wanted, when ever she wanted to do it. So working in the corporate wheel and being expected to work set hours and follow a set plan didn’t really see Jacquie realising her dream…so she found something that did, PROPERTY!
Listen to this weeks podcast and see what Jacquie did to realise her dreams and how you could realise yours.
I read somewhere once that you need to venture into the unknown to build the life you simply desire. It can be scary, sometimes hard, and oh so uncomfortable…but worth it.
This week I am joined by Mark Dunsmore who had a passion for property from a young age but like so many of us, he was distracted from this for a time by the pull of the corporate world working telesales, door-to-door selling, and eventually recruitment before returning to his real love of property in 2005!
This week we talk to Mark about his property journey as he worked his way through various roles and then the birth of Goliath Property Solutions.
Mark ventured into the unknown and we find out what it’s like to make that step and if life really is all he had hoped for.
We all start, re-start or re-direct somewhere as we all experience our ‘New Beginning’ and our guest this week Richard Brown from ‘The Property Voice’ and monthly contributor to the magazine blends his own property investing knowledge with his love of sharing this knowledge with others having experienced his own ‘new beginning’ when he turned his life around.
Richard offers a content based platform for the property investor community, along with advice, insight and review, based on his own personal experience and this week he gives us an insight into how things changed for him and how he can help do the same for you.

Kyle Witham has gone from car sales person to property entrepreneur and in the 6 months following his transition has completed 12 deals and again it just highlights that with some fire in your belly and plenty of drive and determination there is masses of opportunity out there to make property work for you.
So what has made him so successful in such a short period of time? Find out in this weeks ‘Your Property Podcast’ as we delve into the secrets of ‘People in Property’.
Now there is no denying that anyone who chooses to partake in a 12-month property education programme is brave (it isn’t a walk in the park where you can sit back and you will automatically achieve success) but doing it twice – I really do think I would need to question that person's sanity.
So why did Glenn Delve decide to take on Simon Zutchis Mastermind and Progressives VIP 12-month programme for a second time only to achieve 'top of the class’ this time around? In part two of 'Is property education worth the investment?' Glenn Delve shares his experience!
So let’s imagine, holding down a corporate job, managing a portfolio of properties and then deciding to take on Simon Zutchi’s 12-month mastermind programme all from 6,000km away in Dubai! Is this beyond your comfort zone? For my guest this week Billy Turriff, this is exactly what he did and to top it off at the end of the course was voted top performer by his peers. So I’m curious as to what Billy had to do to warrant top performer status and why he did what he did and where he is with things today as we talk property education and is it worth the investment of time and money?
In this weeks episode we are talking about how good design can add real value and perhaps more to the point, increase YOUR cash flow! But then the question is - how?
Well we are all too familiar with the play safe, boring even, magnolia walls and plain brown carpets but should we be doing more to make our properties stand out and encourage better tenants?
Well my guest today, Julian Maurice of Icon Living believes he has the answer.
Julian is an investor and landlord himself so knows oh to well the importance of great design and enjoys nothing better than pushing the boundaries and creating well-designed properties that stand out from the crowd.
Working with investors and developers alike, he is raising the standard of rooms, challenging perceptions of our industry and working hard to give landlords a better reputation.
This week we are joined by Plymouth based Angelos Sanders who last year made a courageous decision to become a full time property investor. This week he talks how, why, where and we discover why he is also affectionately known as the man behind PIG!
This week we are joined by the young entrepreneur Josh Bardsley as we launch our weekly Podcast. He shares with us his incredible property journey (so far) and knowledge (that is nothing short of inspirational at just 21 years old)and he really is proof that anyone can do it! His enthusiasm is contagious and his determination is inspiring.
