Summary

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, we’ve got two great listener questions – including one on a topic we’ve never covered before… (0:51) David already has two HMOs under his belt and now has his eye on a 6-bed property for his third. He’s got around £100,000 to put towards it, but he needs another £50,000. So he’s wondering… how can he get the extra funds? (6:45) Tom’s just bought two leasehold flats that were repossessed from the previous owner – who also happened to be the freeholder. Now he’s looking to buy the freehold, but it seems like a complicated process, so he’s hoping Rob & Rob can shed some light.  Enjoy the show?  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it really helps others find us!  Sign up for our free weekly newsletter, Property Pulse  Send us your question here – just hit record!.  Find out more about Property Hub Invest
