International students in Melbourne have started filling 2-bedroom apartments with six or more people because they don’t want a house for such a short stay. This trend is favourable for students since they don’t have to spend their savings on a long-term loan. While they pay their rent, though, they aren’t acquiring any assets. Renting (a) property has some advantages, such as avoiding paying for a mortgage and offering tenants more flexibility; however, it comes with some potential financial issues.
