Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.
In this episode, we take a clear look at one of the biggest questions facing home buyers today. When your dream suburb is far beyond what you can borrow, Rentvesting in Australia may be the strategy that lets you live where you want while still owning a property that fits your budget. Drawing on real examples, practical scenarios, and current housing trends, the conversation breaks down how this approach works, who it suits, and the financial trade-offs to consider.
You will hear why entering the market with a property you can afford is often better than waiting for the perfect home. The discussion covers the pros and cons of renting in a higher-priced area while owning an investment property elsewhere, how affordability pressures have shaped Rentvesting in Australia, and how this strategy can support wealth building over the long term. The episode also takes you through costs, tax considerations, depreciation, structures, and the real-life challenges many investors face when balancing lifestyle and financial goals.
If you are weighing up how to get started in property, or trying to find a practical pathway into your preferred suburb, this episode offers insight you can apply straight away. It is a timely guide for anyone thinking about Rentvesting in Australia and the options available in a tough housing market.
