Rob & Rob are back with more listener questions!

Customer Reviews
Great content
Hi Rob & Rob, I recently found your podcast due starting my research on property investing. I’ve listened to a couple of others which are ok but yours is great. Thank you for sharing your experience. Kev
🤩🤩
I genuinely would not be investing in property and have a small but growing portfolio if it wasn’t for this podcast!
Constantly Interesting and inspiring, thankyou both for all the free information you put out there - truly great full!
Absolute gold!
I’m a super long time listener of the show…10yrs, every single episode & counting! However, what astounds me is the incredible value that the Robs just keep adding. Today’s show (TPP 570) shares the tools & process that their business ‘Property Hub Invest’ use to source the very best properties in the U.K. - just wow! This also gives me great confidence as a client on how thorough PH Invest are in their research, love it!😍
