    EP27: When the Bank Says No, the Real Deals Begin

    When the bank says no, most investors walk away. Andrew Wright does the opposite. In this episode, Andrew breaks down the creative finance strategies he’s used to buy multiple commercial and industrial properties without traditional bank loans including private lending, vendor finance, joint ventures, long settlements, and lease structuring. You’ll hear real examples of how Andrew secured deals other investors couldn’t buy, including industrial sheds, development sites, and commercial properties that banks refused to fund. This episode is a masterclass in thinking differently about property finance and understanding that sometimes the best opportunities exist precisely because traditional lenders won’t touch them. In this episode:  Why commercial property may outperform residential property in the current market  How Andrew bought multiple properties without using bank financing  The power of private lending and short-term “bridging” strategies  How vendor finance works and why sellers sometimes prefer it  Using long settlements and lease agreements to unlock bank funding later  Why relationships and negotiation skills matter more than ever  How to structure deals that work for both buyer and seller  The biggest mistakes investors make when banks reject their loan applications If you’ve ever walked away from a deal because finance was declined, this episode will completely change how you think about property investing.
