Anyone specialising in sourcing off-market commercial real estate? I know it is niche as most focus on residential but I believe it would be a great addition to have a list of people able to bring commercial deals on the table. If you are feel free to let us know in which region you operate EDIT - when I say off market I mean OFF market. For me those are deals sourcers get from their personal connections with landlords, estate agents, councils, investors, builders, etc. Buildings that no one knows are for sale.

Just came across this BBC piece that really caught my attention… A major developer, Persimmon Homes, is asking to cut back the number of affordable homes on a large housing estate near Norwich. Originally, the plan was to build 1,000 homes with a third being affordable. But now, due to “rising costs” and “site issues,” they’re only building around 780, and want to slash the affordable units from 185 down to just 30. The local parish council is pushing back, saying this makes it even harder for residents to get on the property ladder and that there’s been “no engagement” from the developer. This really highlights the tension between profitability vs. community impact, doesn’t it? On one hand, developers are struggling with rising costs… but on the other, families are finding it harder than ever to buy their first home. What do you think should councils hold developers accountable for delivering affordable homes, even if the numbers “don’t stack up”? Or should developers be given flexibility to make their projects viable? Drop your thoughts below 👇 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c33rx8npzj8o

I didn’t start this journey because I wanted fancy cars or designer suits. I started because I wanted to change my family’s story. I grew up in a council estate. Money was tight. Opportunities felt even tighter. I remember watching my mum work her heart out just to keep things together. I remember the look in her eyes.. tired, but hopeful. And I made myself a promise: one day, I’ll give her and my brother a better life. When I was broke and had 0 in the bank, that vision kept me moving. Everyday, I did one small thing… listened to a podcast, went to a networking event, read a book, asked for help, made mistakes, learned, and tried again. It wasn’t glamorous. It was slow. It was uncomfortable. But each small step built a bridge between the life I had and the life I wanted. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: You don’t need to see the whole staircase. Just take the next step and do it with purpose. So here’s my question for you: What’s your why.. the reason you get up and keep going, even when it’s tough? Share it with us in the comments

I was thinking the other day... we spend years in school learning algebra and reading mice and men, but no one ever sits us down and says, “Here’s how money actually works.” In this new video, I open up about how I learned (the hard way) to stop chasing income and start building assets .. things that actually grow and pay you back over time. I talk about what I wish I knew sooner: - How to turn your earned income into real investments - Why ISAs, ETFs, and property can quietly build wealth in the background - How compounding really works when you stick with it - And how to protect your money from bad advice and scams This isn’t about getting rich overnight... it’s about taking control, step by step, and setting yourself up for freedom. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not moving forward financially, give this one a watch
