Should I, would I, could I? It’s a big step to take!
When I first had the conversation with my wife, it was a definite ‘NO WAY’ 6 months ago, but after a lot of discussion, she came around. So here we are, feet up, in someone else’s place.
The old story – buy where you can afford, and live where you can’t.
This situation is a no strings attached model. There is an absolute liberation in not being tied to a specific address. We are creating a home but without the home ownership.
We were living in Abbotsford, but had been looking for a while to move to Drummoyne. Nothing came up that we could afford. To put even more pressure on, during this time the market was heating up. It was a perfect time to sell. So after a lot, and I mean a lot, of discussion about how this would work and why it works, and most importantly what makes a home a home, we made a decision. We sold up. And now we rent.
Why it’s working for us:
- We get to use the cash to reinvest in a high yield return
- Takes the emotion out of how we invest our money
- We feel more free and more open to seeing what life could bring in.
So if you haven’t heard of rentvesting, but think that perhaps you are open to a more flexible and fluid way of approaching home ownership, come and talk to me. I’ve got plenty of experience, and if you want a second opinion, I’ll bring Maria along. It really could open up new doors to your future.
