What is Rentvesting?

Whilst the Great Australian Dream is to buy your ‘own’ home, market conditions in some places across Australia has resulted in the emergence of Rentvesting. This strategy involves buying a property you can afford as an investment property, while you rent a home in an area that you can both afford and want to live in at the current time.

For example, say you want to buy a three-bedroom home in Melbourne’s inner ring, but the house prices in the area mean these homes are out of your reach (budget). Rentvesting may allow you to rent the ideal property you want to live in right now, while you also buy a property in a suburb where prices are more affordable and rent this out (as an investment property).

Rentvesting also allows you to take advantage of the generous tax concessions/incentives available for property investors, however it may also mean you are not eligible for any first home buyer grants & concessions. We recommend you seek professional advice before carrying out any investment activities, including Rentvesting.
