Are you struggling to break into the property market? 

This episode of the Home Buyers Australia podcast will get you up to speed with rentvesting, a trending home-owning strategy that is ticking boxes for a new generation of buyers. Hosts Damien Walker, a seasoned mortgage broker, and Jack Corbett, a buyer's agent, discuss the ins and outs of rentvesting, highlighting why this strategy is gaining popularity among young Australians aged 20 to 35.

As inner city property prices continue to rise, younger buyers are using rentvesting to get on the property ladder, while still living where they want.  We look at the benefits and potential pitfalls of this approach, which is gaining popularity with first-time investors finding themselves priced out of the market.  

Discover the flexibility rentvesting offers, the unexpected side benefits and the potential financial gains of rentvesting for a generation facing an unprecedented price squeeze. 

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • The benefits of rentvesting and how it allows you to live in desirable areas while building your property portfolio
  • The experiences and learnings  of an investor who used this approach
  • How rentvesting stacks up financially, comparing the potential returns with owner-occupying 
  • Strategies to maximise property investment returns, even in Australia’s high-priced markets.
  • The role of mortgage brokers and buyer's agents in navigating the rentvesting journey.
  • The property market and current issues affecting homeowners and renters in Australia
