Description

It’s time for your weekly dose of Ask Rob & Rob, so let’s get stuck into some interesting listener questions... 



  • (0:39 ) Should Bon pursue a HMO in a less desirable area if the numbers stack up? A major new housing development nearby could improve things – but is it worth the risk, or is location too important to gamble on? Rob and Rob give their thoughts. 



  • (4:36 ) Sara has £50k to start her property investing journey and is unsure where to begin. Buying a low-cost flat outright isn’t advisable in this scenario, but can Rob & Rob sway her to use a mortgage to unlock better growth opportunities?
