Summary

We’re back with the first Ask Rob & Rob of 2020 and we’ve got a cracking question to kick off the year!  This week’s question comes in from an avid Property Podcast listener who off the back of it has had the confidence to invest in his first property at the beginning of 2019. Go you! He even has a bit of spare cash left over from his property and is looking at other ways that he can invest it outside of property. One option that he’s considering is investing in shares in a development company.  He’s noticed that in some of the big development companies, their share prices have closely followed the 18-year property cycle and now he’s wondering if this is a good investment option for around the mid-cycle wobble, or even before the next crash.  So what do Rob & Rob think? Is investing in a major property company a smart investment or should you run for the hills? Tune in to find out… Do you have a buy to let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob? You could feature on the next episode by giving us a call on 013 808 00035 and leaving a message with your name and question (normal UK call rates apply).    Or if you prefer, click here to leave a recording via your computer instead.
