Love ’em or hate ’em – you’ve got to admit being a landlord to Tesco’s, THE leading retailer in the UK, and the third largest in the world, is going to have some upsides. I doubt you’ll be able to to get any free grub or extra clubcard points, but Every Little Helps!
Being a successful landlord is all about picking decent tenants and as far as Tesco’s go – given they have a reported turnover of £41.981bn, a pre-tax profit of £2.126bn, shareholders’ funds £7.048bn and a net worth of £6.894bn (year ended Feb 2012) they sound like they will be able to make the monthly rent.
So how can you buy a piece of the Tesco Property Pie?
“YCDBSOYA” would be what Jack Cohen, the founder of Tesco’s would say – which is: “You Can’t Do Business Sitting On Your Arse”
So, on that note – get off your arse and get down to the auction room where these Tesco stores will soon be going under the hammer!
