Another Tuesday, another set of listener questions for Rob & Rob to give their expert answer to! First up this week, we’ve got Adam. He’s recently inherited a property in North London worth more than £600,000 and with no mortgage to pay off. Naturally he’s overwhelmed with options for what to do with this property. Should he sell? Get equity from it? Split it into different rooms to make a HMO? The Robs share their thoughts. The next question is one we’ve seen crop up a few times. Our caller is a non-British citizen who’s in a position to build a Buy-To-Let portfolio. But he wants Rob & Rob to explain the obstacles which can (and do) arise in for foreign nationals who want to invest. Press play to hear Rob & Rob’s advice.

Navigating Mortgage Madness As Rob & Rob speak to many investors, they’re aware that many of them are panicking about what to do with their mortgages. Rising base rate, the ill-fated Mini Budget... there’s been lots that’s impacted the mortgages being offered right now. To make sure you’re getting the best advice, Rob & Rob have invited Kelly Rule back on The Property Podcast. Kelly is a mortgage expert, and she gives her advice and opinions on what investors should be doing (and should be wary of) right now. Keep listening to the end of the episode as Kelly shares her predictions for what’s on the horizon at the start of next year. Tune in and find out what all three had to say.

Rob talks us through a real investment There’s been more than 500 episodes of Rob & Rob sharing their advice and theories on property investment with listeners. But they’ve never had the chance to apply it directly with someone who’s actively investing. Until now. Our producer Dan is an experienced investor, and he was looking at a new opportunity to expand his portfolio in Nottingham. So he brought the deal to Rob D, who chatted through every aspect of the deal with him to see if it was worth pursuing. Stay tuned until the end of the episode when Dan lets Rob B know if he followed through with the deal – and whether he regrets that decision or not… Do you work in FinTech? You’re never too good to learn from others – that's why Rob & Rob want to build their network by talking to listeners who work in and around startups in general, and FinTech in particular. If you work in the sector as an employee, founder, advisor, investor or anything else, we’d love to hear from you. Just drop an email to [email protected] and one of the Robs will reply! Hub Extra If, like Dan, you’re thinking of investing far from your home – you'll no doubt be on more trains than you can count. That’s why Rob is recommending the Trainline app this week. Not only can you buy tickets in-app, but it also allows you to search for split-fares, meaning you’ll be able to save yourself money if there are any non-direct journeys you can take to your destination.

Rob & Rob are back to answer more of your questions in Ask Rob & Rob! Our first question comes to us via Josh from Greater Manchester. He’s currently got a portfolio of 3 properties (which he’s created over the last two years), and he’s looking at re-mortgaging and releasing some equity. Does it make sense to take on more debt to maintain the cash flow that he’s already got? Rob B’s answer is a surprising one! Next up is Lee, who’s looking to invest in his first buy-to-let very soon! But before he does, he wants to know what Rob & Rob think is in store over the next few years. Understandably he doesn’t want to buy when prices are at their peak, so he wants to get a steer from Rob & Rob for some guidance on how he should navigate this plan.

It's Tuesday so Rob & Rob are back answering more of your questions. First up we have a question from Steve, and he wants to know if Rob & Rob have experience investing without viewing a property. To get the best deals, sometimes it’s important to look outside of locations you’re familiar with and look a bit further afield. But is there an easier way to do it than travelling all over the country? The second question is from Diana in Kent. She wants to know whether she should sell her London 2-bed flat as it’s not performing well enough for her rent-wise. But after listening to Rob & Rob’s recent investment cities video, she says they’ve put her off selling it! Tune in to find out what The Robs have to say.

Making it through the crisis If you’ve listened to any of our recent episodes, you’ll know that the market is a stressful place to be right now. And if you’re satisfied simply getting your head down and surviving this period, that’s completely understandable. But we know there’s some of you who want to take this ever-changing atmosphere and make the most of it too. Rob & Rob are here with their advice on how to do both these things. Reviewing mortgage fixed rates, cash reserves, making allowances for tenants and even finding deals – these tips are all well worth learning.

It's Tuesday so Rob & Rob are back answering more of your questions. The first question is from John, who’s noticed more talk about Quantitative Tightening – which as the name suggests is the opposite of Quantitative Easing. He wants to know – if QE leads to higher house prices, is it natural to assume that QT will have the opposite effect on property? Then we have a question from Tom in York. Thanks to inheritance and savings, he was able to buy his first BTL outright. Obviously that’s not a bad thing – but it has left all his savings tied up in that first property. He wants to know what Rob & Rob would suggest when it comes to saving up for his second BTL property. Tune in to find out what The Robs think.

What’s going on? Every day is bringing new headlines (and even new Prime Ministers), so it’s no surprise that investors have a million questions right now. And while Rob & Rob can’t answer all those million questions in a single episode, they can take a look at the most popular ones and give their thoughts. Is the 18-Year Property Cycle broken?

It’s a mortgage special episode for Ask Rob & Rob today! First up is Lee, who’s been a long-time listener. He’s 2 years into a 5-year fixed rate mortgage, and he’s done some digging and found that he would incur a £3,000 fee for getting out of the fixed rate early.

How will rent freezes and eviction bans affect property investors? It’s official, the scary headlines are true... Scotland will be introducing a rent freeze and eviction ban in response to the cost-of-living crisis. But how will this affect property investors, and will the rest of the UK follow suit? Tune in to find out what’s happening and what it means for you. Hub Extra We’re all big readers here at Property Hub HQ and this week Rob B is bringing us the reading hack that completely changed his life! This mindset was first introduced to Rob B by Naval Ravikant, and it’s completely shifted the way he thinks about reading. Has a book ever become so disinteresting to you, that finishing it actually feels like a chore? Well, what if we told you you’re under no obligation to finish that book? If the book is no longer adding value or entertaining you, then skip ahead a little and if it’s still not interesting you – don't finish it! It seems so simple, but it’s such an alien concept to most, as for some reason we feel obliged to finishing the book we’ve started. But if you adopt this mindset, you’re guaranteed to start finding reading enjoyable again.

However, he’s now wondering if it’s actually a good time to be buying off-plan. When the time comes for him to get a mortgage, will interest rates be even higher?

It’s Tuesday, so we’re back with more listener questions. First up this week is Becky from Essex. Becky’s about to complete on her first buy-to-let deal (three cheers for Becky!), but she’s already looking at her next deal... She wants to buy the flat above hers, off-market, and she’s wondering how much discount she could get with a deal like this?

Rob & Rob are back for another round of listener questions, and they’ve got some cracking ones! Kicking us off this week is Luke from London. The market is hot right now, that’s no secret and this combined with the aftermath of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine Luke is wondering if what the 18-year cycle predicts is still accurate... Will we be waiting until at least 2026 for a crash or are we heading towards an early winner's curse? Next up, Sophie’s looking for some advice on an upcoming purchase. She’s looking to purchase a property, but it currently has no kitchen or bathroom, so lenders won’t mortgage it due to it being uninhabitable. Sophie plans to borrow some cash from family/friends to top up her savings and buy it outright. Once she’s bought the property, she plans to install a cheap bathroom/kitchen with the hope that she’ll then be able to remortgage.

It’s that time of the week – Rob & Rob are back answering your questions! And kicking us off this time is Kevin. Kevin is finally ready to purchase his first buy-to-let and he’s keen to get stuck in, but he was a little disheartened when he saw how much tax would be cutting into his profits, so he’s been reconsidering his strategy. As a result of his calculations, he’s had to rejig the scope of where he was looking for property and he’s noticed some super cheap student lets in the North West.
