Show Notes

Another Tuesday, another Ask Rob & Rob, and we’ve got two cracking questions lined up this week!  

  • (0:55) After hearing Rob and Rob discuss being more open to rent insurance, Francesco wants to know: even if you’re in a strong financial position and can handle occasional losses, do the guys still think it’s worth doing, or is it just being overly cautious? 
  • (4:34) James is in the process of buying his third rental property — a leasehold maisonette that initially appeared to be a great investment, but he’s since discovered a clause regarding large ground rent increases. After negotiating a deed of variation with the seller, he wonders if there are still risks he might be missing and asks Rob and Rob whether it’s worth proceeding or better to walk away.
