How worried should you be about interest rates?

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 years, and what you can do now to protect your cashflow if borrowing does get more expensive.

We shared five ways to be prepared on this week’s podcast so tune in to find out what they were.

At heart, it’s about not being overly worried about not being complacent either – your property portfolio is a business, and like any business you should always be looking for ways to increase your profits and strengthen your future financial position.

This week’s resource of the week is a cracker. If your new year’s resolution is to learn a language, Rob D recommends Duolingo.

It’s a website and free app that lets you take bitesize foreign language lessons whenever you’ve got a spare five minutes. Rob’s been learning Spanish for a few months, and turning it into a daily habit has helped him to make a lot of progress without it feeling like any effort.

Buena suerte!
