Beyond the talk of great deals and high yields, there's a hidden danger in commercial property development that can unravel even the most promising projects: Finance. In this episode Jerry tackles a common and costly mistake he's seen time and again—underestimating the true timeline of a project combined with short-term loans.

Using real-world examples and hard-won lessons, Jerry reveals how delays from planning departments, unforeseen structural issues, and supply chain snags can turn a "12-month sprint" into a stressful, profit-eroding marathon. He explains why over-preparing with a longer-term finance package isn't just a safety net, but a smart strategic decision that buys you peace of mind and protects your investment.

This episode is a vital listen for both property developers and investors alike, offering a candid look at why a tight finance plan can become a "ticking clock" that owns your project, and how to build in the necessary buffer to succeed.
