It’s our favourite time of the week - Rob & Rob are back with another round of listener questions. 

First up, this listener wants to know the best way to achieve his goal of a passive income of £2,000 a month. 

He’s figured out that to achieve this he’d roughly need around seven buy-to-let properties, and he’s got a few ideas of how he can get there. 

He’s recently completed a flip with a friend and has around £75,000 in profit that he can use to invest again. 

Should he continue flipping until he has enough cash to purchase all seven buy-to-lets at once, or should he purchase a couple of buy-to-lets now, let the market do its work, refinance and then purchase more properties later on? 

Next up, we’ve got a question from Kieran in London. 

Kieran’s recently come across the term ‘deal sourcing’ and he wants to know what it’s all about. What exactly does deal sourcing mean and is it a good idea? 

Tune in to hear what Rob & Rob think.

It’s time for some more listener questions and this week we’ve got some good’uns lined up for you! 

Kicking us off this week we’ve got a cracking question from Sian in Wiltshire. 

Sian is a fairly new investor and her first tenant’s tenancy is coming to an end. What she’d like to know is how does she go about introducing an annual increase in their rent? 

Is there a bog-standard calculation she should be using? Should she base it on inflation? Or are there other things she should be considering? 

Her tenant is a good tenant, so she doesn’t want to rock the boat, but she also doesn’t want to cut herself short and miss out on market value rent. 

What advice have Rob & Rob got to help her out? 

Next up we’ve got a question from a mystery caller. This listener didn’t leave his name, but that won’t stop us from answering this corker of a question! 

He’s currently considering purchasing a flat in a tower block (all cash) and he wants to hear what Rob & Rob think about this? 

With the ongoing cladding situation, lenders are still cautious to lend on tower blocks, but as he’s going to be buying in all cash, so he could secure himself a little discount. 

Do Rob & Rob see tower blocks changing any time soon and how do they think they will appreciate in the future? 

Tune in to find out.

It’s another Tuesday, so it’s another Ask Rob & Rob. And we’ve got two cracking property questions for you.

The first question is from Dom who’s just completed on a 2-bedroom flat in South London. He agreed the price back in January before the dreaded coronavirus, and went back to negotiate on the advice of Rob & Rob and managed to snap up an absolute bargain!

So he’s ended up with a new house at a massively discounted price. 

Today he’s asking whether Rob & Rob reckon he should flip it, take the cash and wait for another dip. 

Rob B has some solid advice today and a bit of warning about that ‘paper-profit’. Dom needs to be careful about allocating overall transaction costs and also about potentially investing on the expectation of a dip in the market. 

Why should Dom be careful? Why should nobody ever invest based on assumptions? Tune in to find out.

Next up is Sabrina from Newcastle. She got hooked on the podcast after reading Rob D’s book and hasn’t looked back ever since - that’s what we like to hear! 

Sabrina is a first time buyer and wants to know if investing in property via a limited company would preserve her first time buyer status for when she eventually buys her own residential property to live in - therefore avoiding that 3% stamp duty surcharge on second properties.  

Listen as Rob D takes the lead on this question and explains how we’re all judged as individuals when it comes to property transactions. 

Try as we might, there’s no getting around stamp duty unfortunately. 

If only we could wave that magic wand!

Tune in to today’s Ask Rob & Rob, it’s one not to be missed!

Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you. 

Could this week be the start in the decline of our market updates? Well, that all depends on what Boris announces this weekend. 

This week there’s been some positive news for Grand Junction, the first ever Property Hub Homes development. We’ve started to have units go through completion. Hurrah!

And even better, after just a few hours of being on the rental market, we were inundated with rental applications from virtual video viewings. 

That’s mindblowing in this current market!

Rob & Rob are also discussing the new bounceback scheme the government introduced a couple of weeks ago, aiming to get money quickly to small businesses.

It’s quick and easy to apply for and is either up to £50,000 or 25% of your turnover. So, if this would give you a helping hand, it might be worth giving this episode a listen.

And of course, The Robs will be discussing the current stock market so there’s plenty for you to digest this week!

Enjoy - and we’ll be back next week!

We’d love to hear what you think of our new market updates over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a question you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do.

Make sure you’ve liked and subscribed to our YouTube channel where we upload new content every week! 

If that wasn’t enough, you can also join our friendly property community on the Property Hub forum.

We’re back for the second round of Ask Rob & Rob year, and our listeners are firing some cracking questions over to us.

In this week’s episode the guys are going back over a topic they’ve covered a number of times after one of our Hubbers, Philippa, asked if she should worry about ROI if she is buying for growth.

In the past, Rob B has said that you should be focussing on an ROI of around 10%. But is this still the case if you’re in it for the long haul? Should you be looking at instant income in addition to (or instead of) growth? Is it actually possible to have it all?

Tune into this week’s Ask Rob & Rob to find out.

The next question is: Which landlord organisation should I join?

Rob D tackles this one head on. It’s not often that a landlord organisation is at the top of a landlord’s to-do list, so listen as Rob runs through the reasons why you should join and also listen out for a little wild-card he throws in!

Private equity has flooded the deal market in recent years, in part due to an era of cheap debt and fund managers on the hunt for greater investment returns. Firms are scooping up stakes in oil pipelines and newspapers — and even dental clinics. With a record $1.8tn in pension and sovereign wealth fund money waiting to be invested, some analysts are asking when private equity’s winning run will come to an end. With the FT's Javier Espinoza. Read more here.
