Low Income? How To Build $60K Passive Income With 3 Properties In 3 Years Ramya & Joe have built a $60K passive income property portfolio in just three years.
As Australia’s post-Budget property debate shifts from fear to decision-making, Bushy Martin tackles the question now dominating investor conversations: what should you actually buy? After weeks of headlines about negative gearing, CGT changes and the “death” of property investing, this episode cuts through the noise and reframes the conversation around what really matters — building the strongest usable net nest egg, not simply chasing the lowest tax bill. Because the Budget hasn’t killed property investing, it has simply exposed weak investing. In this final instalment of Bushy’s special post-Budget series, the conversation moves beyond policy panic and toward practical strategy. This is not another dense tax discussion. It is a real-world decision filter for investors trying to work out where to put their money in a changing market. Bushy compares the major investment pathways now fighting for investor attention — established residential property, qualifying new builds, PPOR strategies, rentvesting, SMSFs, commercial property, ETFs, shares and speculative assets — through one consistent lens: What genuinely builds sustainable freedom? Along the way, he dismantles one of the biggest traps investors fall into during periods of change: confusing tax efficiency with wealth creation. Because tax is not the meal, it’s the seasoning. Bushy explains why established residential property is becoming harder to hold but is far from dead, why new builds may receive better treatment without automatically becoming better investments, and why investors chasing the latest “tax-effective” strategy risk creating long-term wealth problems instead of solving them. He also dives into the realities many Australians are now wrestling with:Is the PPOR really the best investment?Does rentvesting still work?Are SMSFs and commercial property genuine opportunities or simply the latest spruiker pivot?Can shares and ETFs realistically compete with leveraged property investing for mainstream Australians? At the centre of the episode is Bushy’s evergreen decision-making framework: B.E.S.T. N.E.S.T. A practical investing filter designed to help Australians assess any opportunity, regardless of asset class, through the lens of holdability, sustainability, flexibility and real-life usability. Because the real goal is not building the lowest tax bill, it is building the strongest life.

We talk with Yvette Buckley in Brisbane about taking an unconventional approach to property investing by purchasing a home using her superannuation. Because of the rules around super-funded property, the apartment must remain a rental investment. The strategy allows a larger deposit and smaller mortgage, while rent and super contributions help service the loan.

Rising prices, tough lending, and building costs aren't slowing things down
In this episode of The Property Nerds podcast, hosts Arjun Paliwal, Jack Fouracre, and Adrian Lee discuss the rise of rentvesting and its impact on Australian property investment. Rentvesting involves renting a home in a desirable location while investing in property elsewhere, allowing investors to balance lifestyle choices with financial growth. Fouracre explains that for buyers with limited borrowing capacity, it can be more effective to invest in properties outside their immediate living area, where returns may be higher. Lee highlights the flexibility it provides, particularly for those who relocate frequently for work, avoiding the costs and constraints of home ownership. Paliwal stresses that rentvesting requires a solid investment plan and careful market analysis, as it's not only about living where you want, but also about making smart financial decisions. The co-hosts also discuss how trends like rising rents, fluctuating interest rates, and remote work are boosting the strategy's popularity. While rentvesting is on the rise, the trio note the importance of cash flow and rental yields in determining whether the strategy makes financial sense.
If it wasn’t said by a top financial adviser, you might dismiss it as a quote out of context, but Partners Wealth Group Jack Tossol is not kidding: He says a generation that has ‘sunk everything’ into the family home will miss the chance to have a successful tax-deductible investment plan. It’s a provocative notion, challenging die-hard principles of money management, but with house prices moving higher again...you have to listen. Financial adviser Jack Tossol of Partners Wealth Group joins Associate Editor - Wealth, James Kirby, in this episode. In today’s show, we cover No tax deduction, no income…Is home ownership overrated? Why ‘Rentvesting’ is worth revisiting Are you facing decades of ‘dead money' in your home mortgage? Challenging the ‘retirement sweet spot’ Please note, this is a repeat episode of The Money Puzzle. It originally aired in August 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most people in Dubai have never heard of rentvesting—but it's a powerful strategy. Rent where you want to live (like Dubai Hills), and invest in more affordable, high-growth areas to build wealth faster. It's common in Australia but growing in the UAE, especially as yields rise and buyers look beyond premium suburbs. Here's how it works—and why some residents are buying two rentals before buying their own home.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch. In this episode, we take a clear look at one of the biggest questions facing home buyers today. When your dream suburb is far beyond what you can borrow, Rentvesting in Australia may be the strategy that lets you live where you want while still owning a property that fits your budget. Drawing on real examples, practical scenarios, and current housing trends, the conversation breaks down how this approach works, who it suits, and the financial trade-offs to consider. You will hear why entering the market with a property you can afford is often better than waiting for the perfect home. The discussion covers the pros and cons of renting in a higher-priced area while owning an investment property elsewhere, how affordability pressures have shaped Rentvesting in Australia, and how this strategy can support wealth building over the long term. The episode also takes you through costs, tax considerations, depreciation, structures, and the real-life challenges many investors face when balancing lifestyle and financial goals. If you are weighing up how to get started in property, or trying to find a practical pathway into your preferred suburb, this episode offers insight you can apply straight away. It is a timely guide for anyone thinking about Rentvesting in Australia and the options available in a tough housing market.

Most first home buyers start their journey by hunting for the lowest interest rate — but according to mortgage strategist Stuart Wemyss, that's one of the biggest financial mistakes you can make. In this episode, Veronica and Meighan dive deep with Stuart to unpack the part of home buying almost no one understands properly: your borrowing strategy.Stuart explains why the way you structure your loan has far more long-term impact than shaving a few points off your rate. From borrowing capacity and offset accounts to tax effectiveness and refinancing, this conversation reveals how your first loan becomes the foundation for every property decision that follows.You'll learn why the “cheapest” loan can actually cost you more later, how to preserve your flexibility for future moves, and why thinking ahead to your second and third property is just as important as buying your first. Stuart also breaks down common mistakes first home buyers make — like aggressively paying down their loan, getting stuck with the wrong lender, or failing to plan for life changes — and explains how to avoid them with a smart, forward-thinking strategy.If you want to buy well, borrow well, and set yourself up for what comes next, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Episode Highlights00:00 – Introduction to Mortgage Strategy01:20 – Understanding Borrowing Strategy02:27 – Importance of Finance Strategy07:37 – Common Mistakes by First Home Buyers12:37 – Tax Implications and Offset Accounts14:40 – Rentvesting and Its Benefits19:41 – Tax-Free Property Sale Strategy20:23 – Choosing the Right Lender21:47 – The Importance of Refinancing25:43 – Navigating Online Lenders30:10 – The Role of Mortgage Brokers31:55 – Advice for First Home Buyers33:37 – Final Thoughts and Practical TipsMentionsEpisode 28: Substations, LMI, Rentvesting, Auctions & Strata Risks: First Home Buyer Q&ACourse Details:THE First Home Buyer Course is our Step-By-Step, No BS Guide to Every Stage of The Home Buying Process – It's the next best thing to having your own buyer's agent.

ABOUT THIS PODCAST:Buying with a partner… smart move or risky play?
In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant sits down with mortgage broker Rebecca Carlson to explore rentvesting and how it can help individuals, particularly post-divorce, rebuild wealth and regain financial independence. Rentvesting allows individuals to rent where they want to live while owning investment properties elsewhere, providing flexibility and market access. Carlson and Tarrant discuss recent policy changes that remove caps for first home buyers, allowing entry with just a 5 per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance, which may shift the dynamics of first-time rentvesting. Divorce often leaves people with cash but no home, making rentvesting a practical way to re-establish a financial footing. Carlson notes clients can leverage available funds to secure investment properties and gradually build wealth while managing risk. Post-divorce emotional challenges can create hesitation, but starting small helps build confidence in property investment. Professional advice from accountants and buyer's agents is key to navigating markets and identifying opportunities.

We've all heard the phrase “rent money is dead money,” right? But is it really? As property prices surge and affordability challenges mount—especially for younger Australians—a growing number of people are turning to an alternative path: rentvesting. That's where you rent the home you live in and invest in a property elsewhere. Is this just a clever workaround, or is it a genuinely smart wealth-building strategy? In today's episode I'm joined once again by Stuart Wemyss to explore this in depth. And even if you're not particularly interested in rentvesting, I'm sure many of the investment principles Stuart and I will be discussing today will be of benefit to everyone interested in property. Takeaways · Rent-vesting allows flexibility in property investment. · Owning a home can provide long-term financial security. · Demographic shifts are changing home ownership trends. · Tax implications play a significant role in property decisions. · Rent-vesting may not suit everyone financially. · Understanding personal goals is crucial in property investment. · Long-term strategies are essential for financial success. · Common mistakes in rent-vesting can derail financial goals. · The importance of a holistic financial strategy. · Buying a property is a long-term commitment.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, co-hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer explore the latest in the Australian property market, including rate cuts, house and unit prices, rentvesting strategy, and the best hotspots in the country. The duo discusses the significant shifts in the property market as the rate cuts spur increased buyer interest and demand. The recent federal election has boosted confidence among buyers, adding heat to an already competitive market, with the upcoming 5 per cent deposit scheme for first home buyers raising further concerns about its potential to push prices higher. Property prices continue to climb, with the median dwelling price reaching $809,000 in May, driven by strong growth in Melbourne and Perth. The trend of rentvesting is rising, with more buyers opting to rent in premium areas while investing elsewhere.

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
What do zoning shakeups mean for your suburb, your street, and your property’s value? In this Q&A episode, we answer real questions from listeners and unpack the property market trends that are shaping the way people buy, build, and invest right now. We talk about what makes a home “A-grade” beyond land size and location, how to avoid overcapitalising, and why things like natural light and flexible layouts matter more than fancy finishes. We also break down the reality of rentvesting with a family and whether that under-$600K “positively geared” investment still exists. Here’s what we break down in this episode: Zoning changes are reshaping Sydney’s character suburbs—some areas will win, others could lose. Future-proofing your build matters: think layout, street appeal, and long-term resale. High rental yield doesn’t always mean better—capital growth still does the heavy lifting. Rentvesting only works if it fits your long-term goals and lifestyle. Don’t chase trends. Understand why the property market is shifting before you buy. If these are the questions keeping you up at night, or at least making you pause, this episode’s worth a listen. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:49 - How will zoning and development changes affect Sydney’s heritage suburbs? 11:44 - What should I consider when building a home to maximise resale or rental value? 18:50 - Are three-bedroom apartments really being bought by first home buyers? 22:41 - Should I focus on capital growth or rental yield while building my portfolio? 34:03 - Is it still possible to buy a positively geared property under $600K? 43:56 - Should we rentvest or try to buy in an area we’ve been priced out of?

Stop waiting for the perfect property and start building wealth now through rentvesting - the strategy that's changing how Australians enter the property market. Rentvesting turns traditional property ownership on its head. While your parents might have laughed at the idea of paying someone else's mortgage instead of your own, today's financial landscape makes this approach surprisingly powerful. By purchasing an investment property (anything to get into the market) while renting where you actually want to live, you can start building equity years before you might afford your dream home.We break down exactly why this makes mathematical sense: a $500,000 studio apartment growing at 10% annually generates $50,000 in equity compared to saving just $5,000 extra per year while waiting. The numbers become even more compelling with today's interest rates - a $3 million home in Freshwater could cost $6,000 weekly in mortgage payments but rent for just $2,000! As tenants, you also avoid maintenance headaches, council rates, strata fees and repair costs.For first home buyers, we dispel myths about grant requirements and explain the multiple financial assistance programs available, including using your super for deposits and avoiding Lenders Mortgage Insurance with smaller deposits. Stop letting perfect be the enemy of progress - the property market waits for no one, and the sooner you're in, the faster you'll build wealth. Ready to explore if rentvesting could work for you? Calculate what you can buy today, compare potential rental income to mortgage costs, and witness how this strategy could accelerate your property journey.
