Not everyone has the ability to purchase or build a home in the short-term and with advanced payment required by most landlords, it can be challenging to part with huge sums of money without adequate planning.  Investing towards your rent invariably makes your life easier and allows you maintain credit worthiness and avoid taking short-term loans to finance this expenditure. 

Investing towards your rent is very simple. You only need to identify your anticipated rent amount and the period to your next rental payment. Talking to an advisor can also help you determine the products with short investment horizon to invest in.
