Merry Christmas! We hope you had a great one, but we also hope that as the turkey hangover fades, you start to turn your thoughts towards your goals for 2014. So in this episode we posed a seemingly odd question: should you actually ignore your goals this coming year? Well, that’s that was an argument […]

This week we donned our protective clothing for another property-related duel. Just like we duked it out over Landlord v Investor back in Episode 4, this time we went head-to-head over North v South: Where’s best to invest? With Rob B repping the North and Rob D in the corner of the South, we battled […]

This week we were talking pensions – but don’t switch off, it’s important! In fact, Rob B gave an impassioned plea for why you shouldn’t bury your head in the sand because the pensions crisis isn’t going to magically sort itself out. Specifically, we dedicated the bulk of this episode to the question “can I […]

This week we got deep down and tactical with some tips for finding out what the property market is doing in your specific area – cutting through the media spin about what prices are doing nationally.

This week we discussed the ‘insanity’ of Britain’s housing market: is it really that bonkers, and what does it mean for you as an investor either way? We based the episode around an article on Buzzfeed by Economist reporter Daniel Knowles. We took his points one-by-one, commenting on each. Along the way we referred to […]

Regrets, we’ve had a few but you don’t need to if you listen to this episode! Yep, we speak to investors every day, and we’ve noticed that the same regrets get expressed over and over again. The ones we hear most are: I wish I’d started with a strategy I wish I’d taken more advice […]

This week we turned our attention to off-plan property: it was a hot topic (with lots of money made and lost) in the last property boom, and it’s back in the news again. So what do you need to know? Well, as buying off-plan basically means buying a property that doesn’t exist yet, there are […]

This week we turn our attentions to tax: it might be inevitable, but could you be paying more than you need to because you’re not setting up your property business correctly?

We both invest away from where we live, yet the prevailing wisdom is that investing from afar is risky, dangerous and complicated. So why do we recommend considering it, and how can you actually go about doing it? In this episode, we cover: Why you should consider investing away from where you live The challenges […]

We decided to turn an entire episode over to the book that seems to have inspired more property investors than any other – Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki (Amazon link).

This week we’re talking about inflation. But don’t turn off yet! It’s not the most glamorous subject, but it’s one of the most important factors in property investing – and you probably don’t think about it anywhere near as much as you should.

We did it! We recorded the podcast in front of a live audience, the technology didn’t break, we didn’t make ourselves look any more idiotic than usual, and we answered a boatload of listener questions.
