Rentvesting: How to Live Where You Love While Investing Where You Profit
For many Aussies, the dream of owning a home in their ideal location feels out of reach. With Sydney’s median house price sitting around $1.3 million and Melbourne not far behind at $940,000, buying where you want to live isn’t always financially practical. But what if you could still live in your dream suburb and get on the property ladder? That’s where rentvesting comes in.
What is Rentvesting?
Rentvesting is a strategy where you rent in a location you love while buying an investment property in a high-growth, more affordable area. Instead of stretching yourself to afford an overpriced home, you let your investment work for you while maintaining the lifestyle you want.
Why Does It Work?
1️⃣ Affordability – You can enter the market sooner without saving a massive deposit for an expensive city property.
2️⃣ Wealth Building – Your investment property gains equity while tenants help pay off your mortgage.
3️⃣ Flexibility – You can live where you want without being tied down to a mortgage in a suburb that doesn’t fit your lifestyle.
Does It Actually Pay Off?
Let’s compare: A house in Sydney’s inner suburbs could set you back over $1.5 million, while a high-growth area like Brisbane or Adelaide offers strong rental yields with median prices closer to $700,000. That means a smaller mortgage, better cash flow, and higher long-term growth potential.
Rentvesting isn’t for everyone, but for savvy investors who want the best of both worlds, it’s a smart way to build wealth without sacrificing lifestyle.
