    ASK420: Does borrowing make sense anymore? PLUS: Should I start in commercial or residential?

    The place where YOUR questions get answered – it’s Ask Rob & Rob! 


    (0:40) Alex works in commercial property, so that's where his background and know-how are. But commercial properties need more money upfront and have higher loan rates compared to residential ones. So, Alex is reaching out to Rob & Rob to get their take on which investment path he should go down. 
    (3:52) Alan's got a handful of properties that he owns free and clear. He's picked up on the fact that interest rates are climbing, and knows he can use those interest payments to lower his tax bill. That's got him thinking - does it make sense for him to start borrowing?

woolders ,

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

Alex Rhds ,

🤩🤩

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!

Anushe Low ,

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!😍
