ASK541: What advice would you give a first-time landlord? PLUS: Can I rent to a family member?

What would you do differently if you were buying your first buy-to-let today? And can you get a mortgage on a property you're planning to rent to a family member?

Your questions answered on this week's episode of Ask Rob & Rob.

(00:48) Anya is renovating her own home and plans to put the equity into her first buy-to-let, but she's hesitant about taking the plunge. How do you buy with confidence when it's your first? Rob B sets out what he'd put in place to take the guesswork out of it.

(03:59) Sarah's second buy-to-let stacks up on paper, but she wants to rent it to a family member and has been told no lender will touch it. Is that right, and does buying in her own name solve it? Rob D explains what changes when a let is regulated, and what that does to the terms on offer.
