Summary

Rob & Rob are back with another round of listener questions! And getting us started this week is Danny from Croydon. Danny is an avid listener of the podcast, so he knows what Rob & Rob think about the North and London, but he’s got his eyes set on a different part of the UK. Danny wants to know, where Rob & Rob think the best place to invest in the Midlands is? Next up we’ve got Tom who’s sent his question in all the way from Dubai! Tom is considering purchasing a student HMO in the UK, as these give a higher return on investment... or do they? Tom has a fair usage clause, but even with this in place he’s predicted that the rise in energy bills is going to heavily cut into his profit margins. What he’d like to know is should he hand over this extra cost to his tenants? Or just take the hit as the landlord? Plus, how will this affect the HMO market? Will landlords across the board increase their prices as a result? 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?
