About this listen
In this episode of the First Property Buyer Show, host Emilie Lauer speaks with Lyndsey Fall, a first-time investor who adopted rentvesting – renting in her preferred location while investing elsewhere – as a savvy way to enter the Australian property market.
Originally from the UK, Lindsey relocated to Sydney and subsequently chose to invest in Perth, where she identified strong market potential.
She emphasises the value of research, clear goals, disciplined saving, and support networks, crediting digital tools and a trusted agent for managing her remote purchase.
Despite never seeing the property in person, she navigated the process confidently by understanding each step and maintaining financial discipline through detailed budgeting.
Lindsey’s story highlights the value of having a financial buffer, relying on professional property management, and being prepared to learn throughout the process.
Since she purchased her investment property, its value has grown significantly, and she now plans to leverage her equity to buy a second one.
