If I Had £100k and a Full-Time Job, Here's What I'd Do to Invest in Commercial Property
Episode 96 – If I Had £100k and a Full-Time Job, Here's What I'd Do to Invest in Commercial Property You've got £100,000 to invest, a demanding full-time job and an interest in commercial property. What should you actually do first?
Suzi understands that position from firsthand experience — because only 11 years ago, she was there herself.
She had a demanding corporate career, a young family and very little spare time, but she knew she wanted to build something that would eventually give her more financial freedom, more control over her time and more choice over how she lived her life.
But this episode isn't about what Suzi did back then.
It's what she would do NOW if she were back in that position, knowing everything she's learned since and having built a property portfolio of her own.
And here's a clue: she wouldn't start by scrolling through commercial property listings looking for somewhere to spend the £100k!
Instead, she'd start by asking a much more important question:
What do I actually want my money to do for me?
Do you want to actively asset manage commercial property, solve problems, create value, refinance, recycle your capital and go again?
Or have you already worked hard to create capital through your career and simply want to park some of it into good-quality commercial property that can produce sustainable income?
Those two objectives could lead you towards very different investments.
Suzi also explains why knowledge is the key that unlocks the commercial property world. Once you understand the fundamentals, something that initially feels overwhelming can start to feel surprisingly doable.
