Australians can still buy a property for less than the rental costs if they focus on suburbs fighting a housing shortage that is still affordable.
Even during a crisis of the costs of living, it is possible to pay less per month in mortgage repayments compared to the typical rent for the area.
In a larger city this is feasible if a buyer buys an apartment on the edge of a suburb with a deposit of 20 percent.
Areas with rapid population growth, such as Zuidoost -Veensland and Perth, are in the grip of a rental crisis, which means that apartment rental companies can get generous income from rental prices, but only pay a smaller mortgage.
Rental income is usually higher when the properties are cheaper. This is the annual income that investors get rented as a part of the value of a property.
Those who want to live in the house instead of renting out can get even lower mortgage interest, making it much easier a homeowner than the tenant.
Daily Mail Australia has found a number of affordable options in every state and territory, including examples in Sydney and Melbourne, where apartments are still cheap to buy despite an immigration inflow.
Regional areas with tight rental markets also prove to be good value.
