Rob & Rob are back with two more listener questions!   (0:41) Matt’s curious to know at what point does a large portfolio become too much hassle, even with the help of management companies. He’s also keen to get Rob & Rob’s take on why the super-rich don’t leverage property investment as much as other assets like stocks and bonds.  (5:18) After buying his flat in London for £700K two years ago, Marco’s noticed similar properties are now selling for less and is wondering what his best remortgaging options are given the change in market value.  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.  Find out more about Property Hub Invest

0:16.7
