Rentvesting with rates where they are: still makes sense?

Renting where we want to live and buying where we can afford. With rates up, does the maths still work?

It still works if the rent you pay is lower than what owning there would cost you. Run both sides.

You also give up the first home buyer concessions in some states when you buy an investment first.

Rentvesting suited us for five years. Now we want stability for the kids, so we're changing.

Good points. I didn't think about the concessions.

Make sure the investment can stand on its own if your rent goes up.
