Summary

The gloves are off this week. It’s Buy vs Rent. Rob vs Rob. Everyday we get asked is it better to buy or rent? Is it better to pay off your mortgage or invest your money? We’re going to break it down for you this week, so you can find out what will help you achieve your goals sooner.   NEWS THIS WEEK There’s a lot of chatter about the Energy Performance Certificates coming in soon. We take a look at what it’s going to mean for you. Electrical Safety Certificates are becoming mandatory soon too. We’ll also let know how this will affect you. RESOURCE OF THE WEEK We’re revisiting 2 great resources of the week, this week. First is Open - The Andre Agassi autobiography. Second is the very excellent Masters of Scale Podcast with LinkedIn Co-Found Reid Hoffman. We think both are amazing and definitely worth revisiting.
