💨 Abstract

Charlie Clark, a 34-year-old CEO, owns a house in Ventnor but rents in London due to high property costs. He buys the £180,000 home as an investment, using Airbnb for income while renting elsewhere. Though profitable, rentvesting involves costs like taxes and maintenance. The trend is growing as young professionals prioritize flexibility and equity-building over traditional homeownership.
