In this Australian Property Podcast episode, your hosts Pete Wargent from Allen Wargent Property Buyers and Chris Bates from Alcove Mortgage Brokers discuss this key topic.
In this episode, they dive into one of Australia’s most heated debates. That is, should you buy a home to build stability and equity capital gains tax free, or “rent-vest” (rent in your desired location while investing the savings in high-growth assets like property or shares)?
With median house prices hovering around $1 million nationally and rents up again this year, it’s not always an easy choice.
Drawing from market data, expert insights, and real-world scenarios, Pete and Chris explore pros, cons, and strategies amid falling interest rates, stabilising rents, and regional hotspots.
