Episodes

Back to school this week, as we talked about financial lessons we’d been taught in the classroom. We were inspired by this Daily Telegraph article by Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert, and talked about some of his ideas w...

Mortgages are probably the area that get asked about the most in The Property Hub – and understandably so, because it’s such an important part of property investment. We’re famously bullish about leverage, and there’s a lot t...

This week we were examining a simple question that has big implications: what is your time worth? As investors we spend a lot of time obsessing about how much money we can afford to put into a deal, but we neglect the only tr...

We love books, we love property…so can you even imagine how much we love property books? We had a hard time narrowing it down to seven recommendations for this week’s episode – but narrow we did, and here’s what we ended up w...

It seems that people who invest in houses often recoil in horror at the idea of buying a flat – and vice versa. This week we waded into the fray – inspired by a topic in The Property Hub – with some conciliatory noises by lay...

Apparently in London, talking about a property bubble is no longer enough…now, it’s a super-bubble! Media hype aside, in this episode we ran through some ideas for how to calm London’s runaway housing market. As the starting ...

This week we were off on holiday – or rather, we were examining whether property lets are a good investment. We didn’t get into actually researching buying abroad (we covered that in Episode 34), because holiday lets can be i...

You’ll have heard people say that property doubles in price every 10 years – but is it true? This week we dug into the data to get to a real answer, and explored what it means for us as investors. We covered: The different da...

At the end of this recording, we remarked how the “boring” episodes are often our favourites – including inflation, interest rates, and now pension reform. Pension reform might sound like a dull subject, but it could have a h...

We got full-on back into property this week after our business series, and we did it by tackling another bunch of listener questions! Some of the questions we took on were: Is there anything I should watch out for with guaran...

We’re all about being nice on this show, so we couldn’t resist finishing off our business series by interviewing Peter Shankman – the author of “Nice Companies Finish First”. Peter started in business by selling funny t-shirt...

When we invited this week’s guest onto the show we knew he’d give an amazing interview – because he’s probably the world’s most successful podcaster, and he’s conducted over 500 interviews of his own! Who is he? John Lee Duma...

We were delighted to be joined on the show this week by Mr James Schramko from SuperFastBusiness.com. James doesn’t consider himself a salesman, yet he was one of the top sales people for Mercedes in the whole of Australia be...

This week’s guest in our special run of business-themed episodes is Noah Kagan – an early employee at Facebook and Mint.com, and now the founder of Appsumo – a site that “promotes great products to help you kick ass at work”....

The first ever guest on The Property Podcast could only ever be one person: Dan Andrews from Tropical MBA, AKA the man to blame for everything we’ve done during the last year. It was our shared love for Dan’s podcast which br...

We made it to episode number 50! And to celebrate, we decided to share some of our best business tips – as well as a huge announcement… So, our tips: Doing the right thing is profitable Give away all your secrets Get to the i...

This week we shared some essential lessons from experienced investors – a topic on our minds because Rob D’s new book, Beyond The Bricks, was released today! These lessons are the ones that came up the most consistently in th...

This week we were talking about how to take advantage of cash deals. What? The guys who are always preaching leverage are talking about buying in cash? Well, there’s nothing to stop you refinancing a little down the line – bu...

Inspired by a conversation in The Property Hub, we dived into the thorny issue of whether you should invest with an eye on high yield or the potential for capital growth. Are the two necessarily mutually exclusive? Which make...

How on earth did we make it to Episode 46 without talking about HMOs? They’ve become a hot topic in recent years as investors have started to focus on cashflow rather than capital growth, so we thought we’d better correct our...

They’re slick, they’re sharp, they prowl under the surface looking for smaller creatures to prey on…yep, we’re talking about sharks this week. But we’re not going all David Attenborough on you – our subject is property sharks...

This week we talked about risk and reward. You’re obviously taking on some level of risk by investing in property rather than keeping your money under a mattress, but how do you calculate the risk/reward balance that suits yo...

Everyone seems to be talking about interest rates at the moment – will they rise? When will they rise? And what can we do about it? So this week we discussed how worried you should be about interest rates over the coming year...

Happy new year! We decided to kick off the year with some predictions about what will happen to house prices in 2014. Not only that, but we invited four guest experts in to share their predictions too. First though, we had to...
