Summary

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, we’ve got two cracking questions. First up we have Ariel who reckons she might have found a link between prices and yields. She has three properties and is looking at investing in her fourth. She’s been buying properties at the rate of one a year for the last few years and is now looking to get a high rental yield in return.  Ariel bought her properties for around £80,000 and has been getting £500 per calendar month in rent through single lets. This year she’s decided to diversify and spend double the money, £160,000 in an attempt to get about £1,000 in rent but has found it surprisingly difficult.  So, do we think the more you spend the harder it is to get the high rental yields? The second question comes from Alex who wants to know how a new housing minister will affect property investors. Will anything change? Will those changes be positive or negative for investors? 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. The next question on Ask Rob & Rob could be yours.  Have you joined us over on the Property Hub Forum yet?

So this is how you get involved.

0:27.2

Yeah, I imagine it's etched on your brain by now, but just in case it's 013, 808, 808 triple,

investor. I've got three policies and I'm just about by my fourth in 2020. Thank

0:56.7

you so much for your lovely podcasts. I'm a long-term listener and I adore them. My

1:01.0

question is that I have been buying properties at the rate of one a year for the last few years and I've been mostly buying property at around 80,000 pounds and I've been getting about 500 pounds a month through

1:14.8

single lets in terms of rent. This year I decided to diversify and spend double the

1:19.9

money 160,000 pounds in an attempt to get about a thousand pounds, rental return a month.

1:26.8

And I found it surprisingly difficult to do that, and I think I've maybe spotted a bit of a pattern.

1:33.0

So although it's easy to get fairly high rental yields from relatively cheap properties,

1:38.0

it seems much harder as you go up the value of property.
