Episode notes
Cheltenham Yield Indicates Undervaluation
- Rob and Rob secured a discounted buy-to-let deal in Cheltenham, an area known for strong fundamentals but usually low yields.
- They saw surprisingly good yields here as a sign the area was underpriced with strong future capital growth potential.
Choosing Crewe for Strong Fundamentals
- Crewe was chosen for its very strong fundamentals such as employment and connectivity despite past development losses.
- They advise picking the best areas in affordable locations instead of the cheapest to ensure long-term value and tenant demand.
