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.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

This episode is a straight, honest look at the investing mistakes that shaped our early years. Drawing from real experiences, we break down the investing mistakes that cost us time, money, and momentum in our 20s, and why avoiding them now can save you years of frustration. From buying assets too late to diving into the stock market with overconfidence, this conversation highlights the patterns many young investors fall into long before they realise the consequences.

You will hear how simple lapses in planning, lack of structure, ignoring risk, and relying on optimism instead of strategy can turn small errors into expensive lessons. We also talk through missed property opportunities, overleveraged trades, ignoring maintenance costs on assets, and the emotional side of making choices that seem smart at the time but turn out to be major investing mistakes in hindsight.

Most importantly, this episode explains how each setback became a turning point. The goal is not to scare you, but to help you spot these investing mistakes early so you can build a stronger base for your financial future and avoid losing precious momentum in your 20s.

If you want a grounded, practical take on what to avoid and how to learn from hard-earned lessons, this one is for you.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch. Today we look at the turning point that comes when you stop trying to do everything alone and start building an Investment Team around you.

In this conversation, Andrew break down why going solo in the markets can cap your progress, and how surrounding yourself with the right mentors, accountants, brokers, lawyers and peers can change the way you invest. From interviewing advisers, choosing a broker who actually adds value, working with a switched on accountant, through to having a peer group that challenges your thinking, you will hear real stories from their own careers and clients.

You will learn how to think about your Investment Team as a group of specialists in their own lanes, so you can focus on yours. You will also hear simple, practical steps for finding people you can trust, asking better questions and avoiding costly mistakes that come from guesswork or bad guidance.

If you are ready to take your trading and investing more seriously by building a strong Investment Team around you, this episode is for you. Tune in now, and if you enjoy the show, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a mate who needs to hear it.
