Step up your Rightmove game 

The property market is booming right now, and that’s great if you’ve already established your portfolio, but if you’re trying to find your next investment it’s not the easiest time to bag a deal. 

You’re probably already spending a huge portion of your time scrolling on Rightmove, so you’ll want to make sure you’re doing this as effectively as possible. 

Thankfully, Rob & Rob have been investing for years and they’ve managed to build up a good few tips and tricks. 

So, this week on The Property Podcast they’ll be revealing all the ways you can optimise your search for your next investment.

In the news

We canine believe this week's news story... 

27% of landlords have no idea their tenants have cats or dogs! With the surge in tenants becoming pet parents, it’s no wonder the majority of landlords have made the switch to pet-friendly properties. 

But it seems that a huge portion of tenants are keeping their pets under wraps!

This week on The Property Podcast, we’re giving you seven property tips that you can start using today, because we want you to start taking action!

You’ll know by now if you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while that we love doing the big picture, philosophical and mindset episodes but now we want to give you something actionable.

So on today’s podcast we’re going to cover everything from before you buy a property, through management, through to your exit and how you run your business.

The seven main tips Rob & Rob have for you are:

• Account for your time
• Become a Rightmove power user - look back at episodes 235 & 14 for more info on this
• Think about your exit from the start
• Make sure your mortgage broker is experienced in working with investors
• Hold block viewings
• Consider pets
• Run your investments like a business

Tune into this week’s episode and see how many of these tips you’re already doing and which ones you can action today.

Our news story this week comes from the BBC, just for a change. The headline is ‘soaring second home ownership is hitting young people’. Apparently the number of people who own a second home or a buy to let has doubled since 2001 and 1 in 10 people now own an additional property.

The report claims that this is hitting young people and making property unaffordable and home ownerships for young people are falling.

Now unsurprisingly the report hasn’t looked into all the facts and figures, so this is where Rob & Rob clear things up and set the record straight.

We also want to say a big thank you to everyone who has already subscribed to our YouTube channel. This week we hit 5,000 subscribers! We’re consistently pushing out more content on our channel with the aim to bring you a new video every week. So if you haven’t subscribed yet, we’d love it if you took this opportunity to do so.

We spend far, far too long looking at Rightmove and Zoopla – so to make ourselves better about how we use our time, we thought we'd make an episode out of it!

They're both phenomenal tools for desktop research, so it's well worth learning how to use them to their full potential. The tips we share in this episode include:

• Creating custom maps
• Finding auction properties as soon as they go live
• Searching for specific keywords
• Comparing the performance of local agents
• Find out a property's price history
• And a lot, lot more!

Resource of the week

Waze is an app for planning your route that's exploded in popularity recently. It allows users to edit the map and submit information about delays and police traps, so it's more up-to-date than most other sources.

The only downside is you'll have less time stuck in traffic to listen to the podcast!

Register for our discovery webinar

On 27 September at 6pm, we'll be holding a webinar where you can find out more about what we offer through our businesses: Yellow Lettings and RMP Property.

We don't like to push our businesses on the podcast, so the webinar gives you the opportunity to find out more about how you can benefit from what we do – and you don't even have to leave the house!

Book your place here

(It's completely free, but places are limited.)
