Summary

Rob & Rob are back with more listener questions!  Our first question is from Derek.  Derek is a builder who currently buys properties and fixes them up while living in them.  He’s built up some equity in his current property and is planning on using this to help him buy a couple of buy-to-lets.  His question is what percentage of this equity should he release?  Next up, we’ve got a question from Joe in London.  Joe is considering buying a bungalow that already has a tenant in-situ and a really good yield of 8.4%.  But he’s concerned about this niche market and how this is going to affect the capital growth potential.  Tune in to find out what the guys have got to say.  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? Our online community is friendly, informative, and the members are waiting to welcome you with open arms. So, get yourself over and introduce yourself.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
