The Property Podcast

This week we shared some essential lessons from experienced investors – a topic on our minds because Rob D’s new book, Beyond The Bricks, was released today!

We ran through how to avoid scams like: Overseas property schemes that never […] The post TPP045: How to spot a property shark appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we talked about risk and reward.

We talked about the notion of risk and reward […] The post TPP044: Risk and reward in property investment appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone seems to be talking about interest rates at the moment – will they rise? When will they rise? And what can we do about it?

Happy new year! We decided to kick off the year with some predictions about what will happen to house prices in 2014.

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 […] The post TPP041: Should you ignore goals during 2014 appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 […] The post TPP038: Can you use your pension to invest in property? appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
