Buy where you want to live, or buy where the numbers work?
If you're a nurse buying on one income, this question matters more than it does for almost anyone else. Your borrowing power is yours alone. There's no second salary to cover a mistake.
Here's what most nurses aren't told: you don't have to buy the home first. Rent near the hospital, near your shifts, near your life. Own an investment property somewhere the numbers actually stack up.
It's called rentvesting, and on a nursing salary with stable employment, lenders often look at you more favourably than you'd expect.
It's not right for everyone. It depends on your income, your deposit, and whether the cashflow works without stretching you thin.
That's exactly what we look at first. No pressure, no pitch. Just your numbers, laid out properly.
