In this episode of The Property Mindset, I’m joined again by Julian Nicolitsis, co-founder of Prop Moves Australia, who has helped clients purchase more than $1 billion in residential real estate across the country.
This conversation takes a deep dive into rentvesting, renting where you want to live while investing in markets that better support your financial goals.
We unpack why this strategy still feels uncomfortable for many people, from social expectations through to the desire for stability, and how shifting your mindset can open up more flexible pathways forward.
We also discuss several key ideas:
• Why renting can sometimes be the more strategic financial decision
• How rentvesting can improve borrowing capacity and asset selection
• The importance of discipline and avoiding “half-committing” to the strategy
• When rentvesting makes sense (and when it doesn’t)
• Why alignment with your partner is critical for long-term success
The episode also explores the practical side of rentvesting, including how to think about timelines, cash flow, and the trade-offs between lifestyle and financial outcomes.
By the end of the episode, the message is clear: rentvesting isn’t about avoiding home ownership, it’s about choosing the right sequence to build momentum and create better options over time.
