ASK492: Should I buy in an up-and-coming area? PLUS: Do I have enough money to invest?

It’s time for your weekly dose of Ask Rob & Rob, so let’s get stuck into some interesting listener questions... 

• (0:39) Should Bon pursue a HMO in a less desirable area if the numbers stack up? A major new housing development nearby could improve things – but is it worth the risk, or is location too important to gamble on? Rob and Rob give their thoughts. 

• (4:36) Sara has £50k to start her property investing journey and is unsure where to begin. Buying a low-cost flat outright isn’t advisable in this scenario, but can Rob & Rob sway her to use a mortgage to unlock better growth opportunities?
