Hi, I'm Rob. And I'm Rob. And this is Ask Rob and Rob.

It's welcome, welcome, welcome, thank you for joining us and Ask Rob and Rob. You know the drill. You ask a question. We answer it. It's dead simple, but we keep on doing it because it works. That's why we do this every Tuesday. We can only keep doing it every Tuesday though if you send your questions in.

We've got two crackers for today but before we hear those Rob run us through the all important numbers.

Yes if you want to call in and leave us your question it it's 013- 808,000.35, or you can do it via a website on your phone

or your desktop, and the link you need for that is the Property Hub.net

to figure out what's achievable, I think. The first thing to do is to work out what we're talking

about. So whenever anyone is talking to you about yield, make sure first of all you're both
