ASK208: Can you invest in too many places? PLUS: How much do I need to spend on furniture?

The Robs are back again this week for another round of Ask Rob & Rob, and this week they’ve got two cracking questions that they’re about to answer. 

Our first caller is a very enthusiastic property investor who unfortunately didn’t leave her name. 

She’s fortunate enough to have three property investments in three different locations, which at the moment is working pretty well for her and she’s happy enough being a remote investor. 

However, she’s wondering if there’s such a thing as investing in too many cities? 

So what do Rob & Rob think of this? Are there both pros and cons to investing in a number of locations? 

Next to get in touch is Lindsey who’s just completed on an apartment in Manchester. 

Her letting agent has told her that she should let out this apartment on a fully furnished basis. 

So what Lindsey is wanting to know is, should she be spending a lot more money on brand new furniture or would second hand be okay? Also, she’s questioning if the furniture will need safety checks before she can move any tenants in?

Rob D offers some different options for Lindsey, depending on what her budget is. 

Tune in to hear the answers to this week’s two questions.
