Summary

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, the guys are answering two more great questions and also taking a look into the current investing habits of Warren Buffet. Our first caller this week is Matthew, he has £100,000 saved up in the bank and he’s wanting to get into property.  He’s looking for a property to buy for around £250,000 (hopefully less), and he’d like to buy one that he can live in and let out.  So he’s wondering if The Robs think now is a good time to buy a personal house, or should he hold off for a bit?  Next up we’ve got Jay who’s got a question about the stock market.  He’s been keeping an eye on it and has seen some slow incremental rises in the stock markets as a whole.  So rather than questioning if he should be investing in property, Jay wants to know if Rob & Rob think he should invest in the stock market or is there potential for them to drop again in the next few weeks? The Robs love discussing the stock market, even more so at the minute when many other people are interested in it. But do they think Jay should be investing now or should he hold off? 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?
