TPP392: Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad): Our reaction

Last week’s episode was epic. This week’s is even better It’s Rob & Rob’s reactions to last week’s interview with Mr Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. We’ve received so many messages in the past week on what people thought of the interview and there were very much mixed opinions. So it was only right that The Robs discussed exactly what was said last week, and what they really think of some of the topics Robert Kiyosaki had very strong opinions on. If, like most of the comments we’ve had on social, you’re wondering if Rob & Rob are about to sell up and start buying gold, then you’ll want to stick around for this episode. On today’s property podcast episode If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, we suggest you go and listen to that first. Mostly to understand why Robert Kiyosaki has caused a stir in the Property Hub community.  Before we get started, Rob & Rob still stand by the fact that Rich Dad Poor Dad is very much still relevant today. But in this episode Rob & Rob are going to tackle some of the points that Robert raised and share their point of view.  One topic that Robert raised was that people’s jobs are going to be replaced by technology. Apparently Zoom and Youtubers are going to replace teachers and technology is going to replace doctors.  Another topic he repeatedly came back to was Warren Buffet and buying gold. Apparently Warren Buffet has dumped all of his banking shares and is now turning to buying gold. It’s not quite as black and white as Robert Kiyosaki made out, so maybe you shouldn’t be taking what he says as gospel.  Tune in to listen to the other madness that Rob & Rob are discussing on today’s episode.  If anything, you’ll get a good laugh out of it.   This week’s news In the news this week, it certainly seems like the property market is still hot. Rightmove have recently released data showing how long it takes for a property to be sold.  The number of homes selling in a week has hit a ten-year high! One in seven properties are now having a sale agreed within one week of being listed, which was one in ten 12 months ago.  It doesn’t come as a surprise that it’s the bigger houses that are benefitting from this. Since the pandemic everyone has been looking for more space.  Although the London market is the slowest performing, it’s still doing better than 12 months ago.   Hub Extra At first glance you may think that Rob & Rob have lost the plot after that interview and are now just throwing animals around.  But Rob D is recommending a tool called Camel Camel Camel. It’s designed to help you track prices on Amazon.  The majority of us, when buying something online will naturally turn to Amazon to see if it’s available on there, and more so for the speed of delivery.  Prices on Amazon do change quite frequently and sometimes by a considerable amount. So what Camel Camel Camel does is you put in a product you’re interested in and it will send you an email alert when there’s a price drop.  It’s completely free and it will save you even more money.   The Property Hub Magazine We’re busy putting together the last issue of 2020 and it’s shaping up to be the best issue of the year!

It’s a major commuter town and one where Property Hub Homes built its first development.  And naturally it’s jam packed with investor case studies and comments from within the Hubber community that we’ve been getting you involved in.  Click here if you’d like to get subscribed now.
