In today’s episode, we tackle the increasingly popular strategy of ‘rentvesting’.
As we see soaring property prices in major urban hubs, the dream of homeownership seems further out of reach for many. But is there a savvy way to balance that dream with reality?
Enter ‘rentvesting’ – where you rent in the place you love…and invest where you can afford.
Rentvesting is a smart solution that can offer freedom, tax perks, and a wealth-building shortcut, but can you handle the emotional trade-offs?
