Summary

It’s time for another round of listener questions!  Our first question is from Steven in Manchester.  Steve has been investing for a few years now, he’s researched various strategies and spoken to a lot of people.  And he’s had a sad realisation...   There’s a lot of negativity when it comes to being a landlord and investing. Steve approaches being a landlord in an ethical way and tries to look out for his tenants, making his property feel like their home.   What Steve would like to know is how do Rob & Rob handle this negativity? Do they have a particular approach or argument when it comes to dealing with this?  Next up, we’ve got a question about interest rates.  This listener is looking to build a Buy-to-Let portfolio and is looking for some advice on interest rates and rental income.  What he wants to know is if rent will increase to match interest rates, and if they do will this impact the profit margins of Buy-to-Let properties?  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.

helped me a lot on the way, and I've been investing for a few years now and looked at very

1:05.6

strategy, spoke to lots of different people, and one of the things that I come across a lot

1:15.2

parasites, leeches, and that all landlords are bad, and that property shouldn't be for investing,

1:20.6

it should be for the people. I think comments like that really, and hollows sort of negative

1:24.6

attitude towards it. I try to sort of approach it in an ethical way. I look after my tenants

1:31.2

as best as I can, do what's right for them, make it their home etc, support them when they need it,
