ASK172: I’m retired – should I still use leverage? PLUS: Is the bank telling me the truth?

On this week’s Ask Rob & Rob we have Pat who’s got in touch wanting to know if he should still use leverage now that he’s retired, or use his savings to buy more buy to let property outright. Pat already has two buy to let properties and is wanting to increase his cash flow but doesn’t need the rental income to live on.  Second up we've got Natasha who has a residential property with a consent to let from her mortgage provider.   She’s now wanting to remortgage but oddly the bank is now telling her "no". She wants to know what Rob & Rob would do. If you’ve been wondering if it’s best to buy investment property with cash or a mortgage, or have been having issues with your mortgage provider, this is an episode you’ll want to listen to.
