About this episode

Rob & Rob discuss the potential silent crash of house prices and strategies for property investment.

Got a burning property question? Rob & Rob are back every Tuesday answering yours. This week: (00:42) Jamie's noticed that house prices have barely moved while inflation has been running hot. Is this the "silent property crash"? And could it go on for years? Rob D explains why policymakers might prefer it this way, and why it's secretly great news if you're a property investor with a mortgage. (03:58) Marcus wants to shift his strategy towards higher yielding properties, but he's worried about the trade-offs... more maintenance, trickier tenants. Rob B explains how picking the right type of property avoids most of the headaches, and shares a painful (and expensive!) lesson about tenant insurance he'll never make again.
