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

Hello everyone, this is Ask Rob and Rob, the show where you get your questions in, sometimes

property related, sometimes a little bit different, but we like those questions too, and it's

really simple to get on the show.

So let's give you a quick reminder of that process.

It's so simple, all you've got to do is call 0138083035 or alternatively you can go to

PropertyHub.net, slash Ask.

But this week we're restricting ourselves to just one question, because we've got plenty

more to go at, but this is a big one, and there's plenty to say, so let's have a listen

to it now.

Hi, Rob and Rob, it's James here.

I know everybody says it, but thank you so much for a fantastic podcast.

I think you do property investors everywhere, a great service, so thank you very much.

My question is partly around the pandemic and the increased public spending that we've

seen in the past 18 months, much higher than many years before it, and also how it ties

into the property cycle that obviously you've enlightened many people about, and I just

wondered, you know, I get the impression that we're heading towards a period of increased

inflation rates and higher taxes as the government tries to balance their books, and does

this affect the strategy that we should take with property investments to make sure that

we can afford them, you know, should we maybe limit how much leveraging we're doing on

investments so that we don't risk over exposure if the affordability becomes more difficult

in the future.
