Can I invest in property before I buy a home?

The short answer is yes. With many people finding it hard to afford a first home, a popular property strategy is to invest first.

This is known widely as Renvesting, which offers a number of potential benefits and advantages.

With house prices in major capitals continuing to climb, by choosing to invest, you can purchase a property at a more affordable price point in a different region, meaning less of a deposit is required. In addition, the investment can provide attractive rental incomes and tax advantages, all which help in build wealth toward a home purchase down the track.

Rentvesting is also popular for people who wish to live in an area that suits their lifestyle and employment but may be well out of reach pricewise. This way they can enjoy popular living areas while still having a property asset to build wealth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I invest in property before buying my own home?
Yes, you absolutely can. The strategy known as “rentvesting” involves renting in your desired area while investing in more affordable properties elsewhere. This approach allows you to build equity, benefit from rental income and tax advantages, and progress toward home ownership faster
What are the financial benefits of rentvesting?
Rentvesting lets you invest without compromising your lifestyle choices. You gain exposure to property markets in different regions where purchase costs are lower, enabling smaller deposits. Meanwhile, rental income and tax deductions help accelerate your wealth-building journey toward owning your dream home.
Why is rentvesting becoming so popular in Australia?
With median prices in major cities climbing, many Australians can’t afford to live and invest in the same place. Rentvesting gives them the flexibility to live where they want while owning a property elsewhere—making property ownership more attainable without delaying lifestyle goals.
