Property is a terrible way to make money 

Could this be the last ever episode of The Property Podcast?  

After all these years in the game have Rob & Rob done a 180 and realised that property just isn’t the best way to make money? 

This week on The Property Podcast Rob & Rob are revealing why property is a terrible way to make money. 

They’ll be taking a closer look at different strategies and revealing why each one isn’t a good way to achieve the goal of generating £2,000 each month. 

But it’s not all bad news, because they’ll be pointing you in the direction of how you CAN make money, phew, maybe The Property Podcast will continue after all... 

In the news 

It seems that we didn’t just experience double digit growth in house prices last year, as LandlordZone have revealed a 50% increase in landlords using ltd companies to take out a mortgage last year. 

This figure is the highest number since the changes George Osbourne made to the tax system! 

What do Rob & Rob think about this?

It’s girl power on Ask Rob & Rob this week. 

Our first question comes from Amelia. 

Amelia would like some advice on how to find a decent deal in the property boom we’re now in.  

Her current strategy is buy, refurbish, refinance (BRR) so she can try and recycle some of her cash.  

To be successful with this strategy, Amelia would need to buy below market value, but she’s finding that most properties are selling for the value of them refurbished, so there’s no money in it.  

So, Ameila wants to know if there’s a useful way to secure properties off-market by leafleting or sending out postcards.  

Next up is Nancy.  

She lives in Merseyside and has a question on freeports.  

Now that Chancellor Rishi has outlined the areas that’ll benefit from freeports, Nancy wants to know if there’s any tax breaks or benefits for investing in these areas.  

So, do Rob & Rob think there are any tax relief benefits to investing in freeport areas? 

Tune in to find out.

The past couple months have seen the return of volatility in markets. On this edition of Odd Lots, we speak to Chris Cole, the founder of Artemis Capital Management and a long-time watcher of volatility. Cole has argued that a lot of the investment strategies we take for granted in markets essentially amount to a giant bet that volatility will remain low. So what happens when vol starts to come back?

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, John asked: Is this a good strategy for a newbie? This question is specifically about delayed completion – where you pay a certain amount up front, (generally 10%, but this is negotiable) and cover the mortgage for a period of time before you complete. It also mentions option to buy, which […]
