014: Why Commercial Property Investing can be easier than residential investing for Expats.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Expat Property Podcast, a channel that brings you weekly episodes designed to offer valuable discussions on property investment strategies, challenges, and solutions tailored to the unique needs of expats investing in the UK property market. In today's episode, I'm joined by Suzie Carter — a seasoned commercial property investor and trainer with an inspiring story. After a 30-year career as a chartered surveyor, Suzie made the bold move to leave the corporate world and build her own £5 million property portfolio — starting in residential and eventually moving into the commercial space. We bust the myth that commercial investing is too complex — especially for expats — and Suzie shares how she's helping others break into the world of commercial property through smart strategies, strong relationships, and tenant know-how. She also lifts the lid on paper-based deals and where real value can be created. Suzie's mantra is "keep on going" — and it's that mindset that's helped her, and now her students, unlock real success. This podcast is part of the wider ecosystem of support we've built within Expat Property People.
