Rentvesting: live where you want, invest where it makes sense

More Australians are turning to rentvesting as a smart way to build long-term wealth without sacrificing lifestyle.

Here’s how it works:

• Rent where you want to live – Choose a location that suits your lifestyle, such as close to work, the beach, or top schools — even if buying there is out of reach.
• Buy where you can afford – Invest in high-yield or growth suburbs that offer solid rental returns and capital growth potential.
• Claim tax benefits – Rental properties offer generous deductions for loan interest, depreciation, and expenses.
• Grow wealth faster – Use rental income to cover costs, build equity, and reinvest in additional properties over time.

Why it works:

• Flexibility to move as your life evolves
• Lower upfront costs than home ownership
• Tax-efficient investment structure
• Potential for positive cash flow
• Diversification across locations and asset types
