ASK374: Should I rent or flip? PLUS: Still best not to fix?

It’s Tuesday, and it’s another Ask Rob & Rob!  First up is a question from Jack.   Jack’s looking at purchasing his first property from a vendor he knows well, and as it needs some cosmetic updating, he’s bagging it at slightly below market value.   Jack has plans to scale his property portfolio and wants to know if he should sell it or rent it out?   Rob B takes the lead on this one to give Jack some food for thought.   Then we’ve got Lee from Norfolk.   He’s been keeping an eye on our social channels and wants to know whether he should hold off on fixing a mortgage on a new property and go with a variable rate instead.  Rob D tackles this tricky one. Nothing is certain with mortgage rates (as we’ve all come to realise now) - so hit play and hear what Rob D had to say on this one.   Enjoy the show?  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts - it really helps others find us!  Sign up for our free weekly newsletter, Property Pulse  Send us your question by calling us on 013 808 00035 and leaving a message with your name and question (normal UK call rates apply) or click here to leave a recording via your computer instead.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
