play

12/16/21 • 12 min

How right (or wrong) were Rob & Rob’s property predictions?

It’s safe to say that 2021 was a year that no-one could’ve predicted, but Rob & Rob had a stab at it anyway.

From which cities would experience the most growth, to the Olympics and bitcoin - Rob & Rob predicted it all.

But is it time we start asking the guys for the lotto numbers or did they completely miss the mark?

Tune in to find out, as Rob & Rob revisit their predictions and see how well they fared.

The Property Podcast - TPP444: Things to expect in the upcoming boom
play

09/16/21 • 21 min

What can you expect to happen in a property boom?

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that we’re at the beginning of a property boom.

Which is great for investors as properties go up in value, but what else can you expect to happen?

The 18-year property cycle means there’s things that you can almost definitely expect to see happening as the boom develops.

But what are they?

In this episode, Rob & Rob are revealing the tell-tale signs that we’re in a property boom.

In the news

We’ve got two news stories this week, and they’re both good for investors but in different ways.

First up, Landlord Zone reveal the ’never seen before’ student stampede to secure accommodation.

It’s no surprise that students have been a bit cautious this year, in fear that covid could ruin another year of university experience.

But this means that, as things seem like they’re going to be relatively normal, there’s been a sudden rush in the search to secure somewhere to live, which is great news for anyone with properties in student cities.

And finally, the news all landlords have been waiting for – eviction notices returning to pre-covid rules.

From October 1st landlords can give their tenants two months' notice rather than the four months that it is currently.

Hub Extra

It’s been a while since Rob & Rob shared a quote, so they’re hitting us with a double whammy.

The boom stage of the 18-year property cycle is going to require some serious focus, so grab your notebook and pen, and jot these down to help you kept sight of your goals.

“The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.” — Bruce Lee

“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” — George Lucas

The Property Podcast - TPP463: Why Property is a terrible way to make money
play

01/27/22 • 26 min

Property is a terrible way to make money

Could this be the last ever episode of The Property Podcast?

After all these years in the game have Rob & Rob done a 180 and realised that property just isn’t the best way to make money?

This week on The Property Podcast Rob & Rob are revealing why property is a terrible way to make money.

They’ll be taking a closer look at different strategies and revealing why each one isn’t a good way to achieve the goal of generating £2,000 each month.

But it’s not all bad news, because they’ll be pointing you in the direction of how you CAN make money, phew, maybe The Property Podcast will continue after all...

In the news

It seems that we didn’t just experience double digit growth in house prices last year, as LandlordZone have revealed a 50% increase in landlords using ltd companies to take out a mortgage last year.

This figure is the highest number since the changes George Osbourne made to the tax system!

What do Rob & Rob think about this?

Hub Extra

Do you know someone who would benefit from The Property Podcast, but you’ve failed to win them over so far?

Maybe they’re just not a podcast person and find it all very complicated.

We’ve got the perfect Hub Extra for them.

The Property Podcast - TPP467: Sharing our most unpopular property opinions
play

02/24/22 • 38 min

You’re probably not going to like this...

We’re going to ruffle a few feathers this week as Rob & Rob are revealing their most unpopular property opinions.

And honestly, we can’t quite believe some of these!

The guys have got plenty of opinions and they’re famous for not being aligned with the crowd and that’s definitely going to be the case today.

From referencing working both ways, to paying capital gains tax on your main residence, Rob & Rob are not holding back.

Some of the opinions are pretty controversial, so much so, that Rob & Rob don’t even agree – this is one episode you really don’t want to miss.

And if you’re wanting to hear why Rob & Rob think property is an awful way to make money, you can find the full episode here.

In the news

Selective licensing schemes, we’ve all heard of them and some of us have to pay to have them.

So, we were pretty shocked to find out that nearly 2/3 of the councils that run these schemes don’t actually record the number of complaints they’re receiving!

Hub Extra

This week’s Hub Extra is for those of you that, like Rob B, don’t enjoy travelling and hate queueing!

We’ve got some simple tips that might cost you a little extra but will make your travel experience A LOT more enjoyable.

Tip 1 – Opt for a meet and greet service over standard airport parking

Rather than paying to just park your car in the airport, you can choose a meet and greet service that’ll let you drive to the closest location to the airport, hand over your keys and someone will go park it for you. Then just let them know when you arrive, and they’ll bring your car back around to you!

Tip 2 – Book fast passes (in advance)

This one we don’t recommend leaving until the last minute as it can work out pretty expensive, but if you book your fast passes in advance, often for around the same price as a pint you’ll be able to skip the queues and whiz through security!

Tip 3 – Get a credit card that gives you lounge access

Some credit cards will offer airport lounge access as a benefit, and honestly, it’s a complete game changer! After whizzing through security, you can sit back and relax in a lounge that’s stocked up with food and drinks. So, skip the uncomfortable chairs and get yourself in a lounge.

Tip 4 – Pick your seats at the front

Quite simply, you’ll get off the plane much quicker than everyone else and be at the front of those queues! So, no need to be spending ages in the security line, plus you’ll be the first to grab your drinks/snacks from the carts on the plane.

Tip 5 – Upgrade to faster luggage drop-off for the way home

Another time saver and complete game changer. By simply paying a little extra your bags will be the first on and off the plane!

The Property Podcast - TPP269: How The Economic Machine Works - A Summary
play

05/10/18 • 21 min

When investing in property, understanding how the economy works is just as important to your long term success as finding your target area, gaining finance or doing building work.

And few people understand how the economy works better than Ray Dalio. Among numerous other things, Ray is a billionaire investor, hedge fund manager and philanthropist. He’s also the creator of the absolutely brilliant and essential video “How The Economic Machine Works” (it’s also really worthwhile checking out Ray’s Youtube page too!).

We can’t recommend this video enough. We strongly urge everyone to check it out. It’s only 30 minutes, but could really help you for years to come. In this episode, we summarise Ray’s thoughts and illustrate how they apply to property investment.

NEWS THIS WEEK

In the news this week, it appears that our predictions continue to come to fruition. Central London property prices are falling. While £600,000 off a home in Mayfair may seem like a drop in the ocean, it’s that drop that’s the beginning of the ripple effect. You can find out more here.

There’s been over 450 episodes of The Property Podcast, but until now, we’ve not revealed the secret formula that investors NEED to be aware of.

In the past, Rob & Rob have told you all about net yield and return on investment (ROI), and how using these can show you how profitable your investments have been - and will be in the future.

But there’s an important factor that neither of these consider.

That’s capital growth.

That’s a big thing to miss out, especially since capital growth is usually the biggest return you’ll get. It’s one of the main factors we consider when sourcing deals for our Property Hub Invest clients.

The new formula, called the ‘Total Return Formula’, takes capital growth into account.

Listen as Rob & Rob explain how to use this formula, as well as how to best predict capital growth for future investments.

In the news

And this week’s big news is actually a notable lack of news!

Specifically, about how there was no increase in interest base rates announced last week.

It was predicted that they’d rise from 0.1%-0.25%, but this move wasn’t taken.

What do Rob & Rob think this means for the property market?

Hub Extra

We’ve got a great book for you this week, and it’s about something that almost everyone on earth has engaged with in one way or another – Instagram!

‘No Filter: The Inside Story of Instagram’ by Sarah Frier.

This one’s different from the other books about the origins of social media channels, because it’s not solely focussed on controversy.

Instead, it zeroes in on how this brand-new platform went from something small to something that has impacted not just app-users, but businesses and the world at large.

We’re big supporters of thinking big, and the story of Instagram is a prime example of that.
