ASK286: How do you find good deals in a booming market? PLUS: What's the deal with freeports?

It’s girl power on Ask Rob & Rob this week. 

Our first question comes from Amelia. 

Amelia would like some advice on how to find a decent deal in the property boom we’re now in.  

Her current strategy is buy, refurbish, refinance (BRR) so she can try and recycle some of her cash.  

To be successful with this strategy, Amelia would need to buy below market value, but she’s finding that most properties are selling for the value of them refurbished, so there’s no money in it.  

So, Ameila wants to know if there’s a useful way to secure properties off-market by leafleting or sending out postcards.  

Next up is Nancy.  

She lives in Merseyside and has a question on freeports.  

Now that Chancellor Rishi has outlined the areas that’ll benefit from freeports, Nancy wants to know if there’s any tax breaks or benefits for investing in these areas.  

So, do Rob & Rob think there are any tax relief benefits to investing in freeport areas? 

Tune in to find out.
