| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Rob. And I'm Rob. And this is Ask Rob and Rob. |
| 0:07.0 | Happy New Year, everyone. Welcome back to Ask Rob and Rob. It's been too long. Yes, you've had |
| 0:13.1 | lot of other stuff from us, but we love doing this. We've got two great questions to kick off |
| 0:18.1 | the year. Can't wait to get into them. But before we do, let's remind you |
| 0:22.5 | in 2026 how you can get your question in to ask Rob and Rob. And spoiler, the system has not |
| 0:29.2 | changed. It's still very easy. Yeah, if it's not broke, why fix it? So all you have to do is go to |
| 0:33.7 | property hub.net slash ask. And you'll be able to leave us a written question for our |

| 1:00.0 | We've wanted to do it for about 20 years and we're finally in a position where we've managed |
| 1:03.6 | to release about 100 grand from our own home in order to start purchasing a couple of bit of |
| 1:08.2 | tlets or flips, which has become increasingly hard to find. |
| 1:12.2 | So we're looking at low-value flats in our area of Kent, Maystone, Medway, which I know you say |
| 1:17.6 | don't do close to home, but I feel the first one needs to be something that we can control |
| 1:21.2 | for a year or so and then get our heads around maybe going further away from where we live |
| 1:25.4 | and investing there. But I wanted some advice around a flat |
| 1:28.7 | that we looked at on the weekend, which is a residential flat. It's a two bed. It's only 16 years |
| 1:34.1 | old. It's three stories high. But on the ground floor are some shops, including the Domino's Pizza. |
