What does freedom mean to you? How much freedom do you have and enjoy? Freedom, fulfilment and happiness seem to be what we are all chasing – but what does freedom really mean? Freedom for me is having the choice to do what I like, when I like, where I like with who I like. It is about choice. On one hand, we have never had so much freedom of choice. But at the same time, our level of perceived happiness seems to be decreasing and there has never been a higher growth in the incidence of anxiety and depression. So today I want to explore this conundrum in some detail, drawing on Barry Schwartz’s excellent observations and insights from his book ‘The Paradox of Choice – Why More is Less’, and share some strategies on how you can fully enjoy your freedoms without suffering some of the apparent side effects. *This is a re-post of Get Invested episode 98* Know How Next Step: Personal Solution Session With Bushy Whether you're a first time property investor or an experienced player, knowing the next step on your in

How do you continue to prosper in property investment, even in volatile financial times? Suvidh Arora joins Bushy Martin to discuss.  For many years now you will have heard on Get Invested that investment and property in particular is a game of finance.  And for a long time we’ve been lulled into a place of false security in a very low interest rate environment, where for over a decade many borrowers have only seen interest rate falls to their recent historic lowest levels ever.   But this is already changing with interest rates on the rise and tipped to rise substantially over the next 12 months or so in response to high inflation, which is already softening property values that are likely to plateau and even drop by 5-10% in many areas in the medium term. And as interest rates rise, your borrowing capacity reduces – for example, on an average $600k mortgage, for every 1% increase in interest rate, how much you can borrow drops by roughly $100k dollars. So how do you safely and affordably navigate the changi

Despite media reports to the contrary, Australia’s property boom isn’t over and Arjun Paliwal from Investorkit is back to unpack why and where.

As property values continue to soften and plateau in Australia, Belinda Smith explains how to stimulate equity growth with smart renovation. In previous episodes we've talked about property development, but this can be costly and high risk especially for time poor career minded professionals with full time jobs.

Now the emphasis is on 'clever' because we hear a lot about material supply issues, lead time delays, rising construction costs, builder liquidity concerns, among other challenges. This is where Belinda Smith comes in, as a successful renovation expert and leading renovation coach, who helps people create financial independence through renovation strategies. Belinda has had 30 years of renovation experience, has built a successful property investment company and now teaches and motivates people how to renovate your properties and/or flip homes for profit.

To be a sustainably successful investor you need to develop your own 'resilience recipes' to attain and maintain your wellbeing, says Fleur Heazlewood. Wellbeing and resilience have been two of the most overused but misunderstood terms, especially in recent years.  But it doesn't mean that they're not critically important. As Get Invested listeners know, sustainable success lies at the intersection of self, health and wealth. And you need all three. Yet many people today remain stuck on the treadmill on the verge or burn out! So how do we reclaim and achieve wellbeing on our terms, and what if anything, has resilience got to do with it? That’s exactly what Fleur Heazlewood is here for. She's the founder of the Blueberry Institute and a proven leadership expert in healthy, high performance, wellbeing, balance, and as she says, bounce without the burnout!

Finding a deposit for the purchase of a property is a big barrier for potential home buyers and investors. James Bowe talks about how to overcome that major hurdle. There’s been an ongoing public debate about housing affordability where the dream of home ownership is always just out of reach for millions of hard working Aussies who are forced to chase their tails trying to put together a deposit, only to miss out as home values continue to rise. But despite the perceptions it has never been an affordability issue, but an accessibility issue.  A lot of working couples can afford the loan repayments, but can't find the massive cash deposit to cover all of the property purchase oncosts for stamp duty and conveyancing etc., plus the extra 5-20% cash deposit required to cover the shortfall on a home loan. But there’s an Australian start up that’s helping to solve this problem with a faster pathway to home ownership through an innovative business model based on the old lease to own approach. Ownhome is off to a fly
