About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of high mortgage rates on investment plans and strategies for dealing with failed deals.

Mortgage rates have spiked, but is that a reason to pause your investment plans? Plus, what should you do when a deal falls through and rates are climbing? We answer these questions on today’s episode of Ask Rob & Rob. (00:43) Sam’s worried about rising mortgage rates - will this be a temporary spike and is now the right time to invest? Rob B looks at what makes this a buyer’s market and the real cause behind the spike. (03:51) Matthew’s deal fell through after the vendor refused to negotiate, and rising rates have left him wondering - should he sit tight? Rob D explains why now’s the time to push harder, not switch off. Enjoy the show? Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it really helps others find us!
