If you are thinking you can live in one place on the weekends (your home) and then rent in the city you work in then we need to add that extra rent to your expenses which will usually throw the numbers out.

Or you could buy an investment out of town?

A lot to think about, hence the podcast episode.

Have a listen, I am sure it will help you.
