TPP378: Rob D just bought a property in the middle of a pandemic. What is it, and why now?

This week on The Property Podcast, Rob B wants to know why Rob D decided to invest in property… in the middle of a world-wide pandemic!  Some of our most popular podcast episodes are the ones where Rob & Rob delve into their personal investment strategies, so when Rob D unveiled his latest property purchase, we had to capture this for the podcast.  So, what type of property did Rob D invest in, and where was it? We’ll give you a clue: we recently launched a Property Hub Invest deal in Nottingham and as this was Rob D’s old stomping ground… he might have just bagged one for himself! The deal was so good, it was gone in less than 60 seconds!  We know you love a good honest chat with The Robs, and you won’t get more personal than this one.  Tune in to listen, and find out why this deal was too good for Rob D to turn down….even during a pandemic!   This week’s news story comes from Landlord Today and the headline is, ‘renters will feel more secure following extension of the tenant eviction ban’. The eviction ban was something that came into place at the beginning of Covid-19 to protect tenants. It was due to end on the 25th June but it’s now been extended for a few more months. It’s a tough situation, most landlords are fine with it and can understand the reasoning behind it, but others are struggling with tenants who are causing all kinds of issues, and there’s nothing they can do about it. Hopefully it will come to an end on the new proposed date of 23rd August.   For Hub Extra this week we’ve got a quote from Warren Buffett. His most popular quote is ‘be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful’. But another one of our favourites is ‘only buy something that you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years’. It’s the perfect quote for this episode and one that we think most investors should live by.    We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
