ASK542: Should I add mortgage fees to my loan? PLUS: My tenant is running a business from my property - what now?
The Property PodcastShow Notes
Should you add the mortgage fee to your loan, or pay it upfront? And if your tenant's running a business from your rental, what does that mean for your insurance and mortgage?
Rob & Rob tackle both questions on Tuesday’s Ask Rob & Rob.
