How to Determine if Rentvesting is the Right Strategy for You

Rentvesting is gaining popularity as a way to balance lifestyle and financial goals.

However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.  

How can you determine if Rentvesting is the right strategy for you?  

In today’s blog, we dive into some key considerations to help you make an informed decision.

Key Considerations:

• Time Horizon – If your time horizon for rent-vesting is less than 5-10 years, you risk not earning enough profit due to entry and exit costs, and you may mis-time the market 
• Long-Term Plan – If you plan to purchase a home in the future, ensure you have a strategy for how much you will pay, whether you will sell or retain existing properties, and align your mortgage strategy with your long-term property plan to avoid affordability issues within your preferred timeline. 
• Relationship Alignment – Ensure both you and your partner (if you have one) are on the same page regarding investing versus nesting, as differing priorities can cause serious relationship strains, especially when children are involved. 
• First-Time Buyer Strategy – For first-time buyers, this pathway may help you purchase your desired home or enter your preferred location by starting with an investment property that later becomes your home or serves as a stepping stone to amass equity for a long-term home.  

Remember, the right decision for you may not be the right decision for someone else. Your property plan should be unique to your circumstances.
