As the dust settles on the frantic political arena, housing was a defining issue of the Federal Election and the Labor party’s win brings with it a raft of policy measures designed to address the property market’s biggest issues.   So we have devoted this show to a special post-election summary.  Bushy and Kevin talk to Tim Lawless from Core Logic who has authored an informative paper on what a Federal Labor Government means for housing affordability and the Australian Property Market. Take this opportunity to pause, take a breath and hear what Tim Lawless thinks about Labor’s key initiatives, interest rates, the markets likely to be in favour of the new policies, regional markets, and cap city futures, first home buyer prospects, housing accessibility vs affordability, social housing and so much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Productivity expert Daniel Sih reveals how to break free from dreaded distraction and digital addiction. Do you feel trapped on the treadmill yet strangely addicted to the churn of activity and constant distraction of your ‘always on’ lifestyle where you wear being busy as a badge of honour, yet secretly you have no space to think or do the things that are really important to you? So imagine if you could be both productive and rested by living an ordered, rhythmical life. What if unplugging was not simply a means of surviving week by week but a strategy to produce your best work and make space for what really matters to us?  Daniel Sih joins Get Invested to talk about how to transform your life in this way. Daniel is co-founder of Spacemakers, a productivity consulting group for busy leaders. He is passionate about helping people make space in their world for the things that really matter. He’s an author, runs training courses and programs, and coaches individuals and teams on productivity and performance. En

Top financial advisor Tracey Sofra talks about how to unlock financial confidence, and unlock financial freedom. What’s your relationship with money? And what’s your level of confidence with money? Is it a friend or foe? Unfortunately for many of us, money is more of an unknown and distrusted enemy and something  that creates a lot of stress – now this may be because of your upbringing or your cultural and expected norms, or maybe you just didn’t like maths and numbers at school, and because you associate money with maths, you’ve always felt alienated and fearful of it? Your relationship with money has a major impact on your present and your future freedom and happiness  - in our western capitalist world, its both the oil and the fuel that powers and enables your choices. So how can you improve and increase your financial confidence and relationship with money so that you can grow and nurture it to fuel your future? This is where our special guest Tracey Sofra comes in. Tracey is Australia’s leading Financial

Returning to normal after our 500th Show celebrations, this week’s show has a strong property management flavor. To kick things off, Jeremy Goldschmidt from Rentbetter joins us to reveal an innovative DIY property management platform that can help the over 500K landlord investors who choose to self-manage their properties. With homeownership rates declining to record lows as housing costs and values rise, the growing housing deposit hurdle is preventing many from getting on the property ladder.   New industry disruptor Coposit is solving this and CEO Chris Ferris joins us for Part 2 of our feature to reveal the details.  One of the biggest time-consuming headaches and cash flow inhibitors for landlords and property managers is trust account administration.   The innovative Managed App has solved this by creating a PayPal for property platform.   We hear about this game-changer from co-founder Thom Richards. To round out the show, Bushy concludes our property management series by giving you all the questions y

Jeremy Goldschmidt reveals DIY property management insights for investors. Somewhere between 400,000 and 660,000 Aussie property investor landlords manage their own properties. This is great while everything is fine, until suddenly, it’s not. Because it is not a matter of if you’re going to have problems with your investment properties, it’s a matter of when, how big and how often.  There’s a good reason why over half of first time investors sell their property within the first five years, and a lot of this has to do with the ongoing, time consuming and life sucking headache and hassles of managing the property. And when it comes to property management, often you just don’t know what you don’t know - and ignorance is certainly not bliss – in fact it is downright dangerous! With residential tenancies legislation in each and every state differing, constantly changing and increasingly stacked in the favour of the rights of the tenants, how can you control the property, protect yourself and minimise the risks wit

Every day we hear potential investors and property buyers say property can’t continue to grow and go up in value as it has in the past. So let's put that to the test by doing a deep dive into what has happened over the last 10 years, as a precursor to what might happen in the decade ahead.  As the penultimate property of data and trends man, who has repeatedly swum against the tide of popular perception & the herd of negative lemon suckers, to be able to time and time again prove successful in interpreting masses of data to predict what impact it will have on the future of property, there is no better person than Simon Pressley of Propertyology to look at the past, present and future of property, to discover what he has seen change at the macroeconomic down to the micro property level over the last decade.

Can you make sense of what is currently going on in stock markets around the world? These are the eternal age old questions that bug equities investors and will continue to do so.  It seems that in our age of too much information where everyone with a microphone and an audience is an instant expert, its becoming more difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff and to be able to understand what's really happening in global stock markets. And everywhere you currently look there are conflicting opinions and scary headlines. The threat of runaway inflation, bubbles, pending recessions, and stock market crashes abound! But does the hype match reality Who do you turn to for valuable guidance? For me it has always been skillful financial analysts who are able to look beyond their egos and inherent biases to predict outcomes that are most likely to occur after considering and curating multitudes of data and evidence, alongside people’s perceptions. And while anything we talk about today is purely general in nature

Luke Harris talks about how investors can get 'property fit' and go the distance on their journey to sustainable success. Are you fit? Do you work out daily and have a regular exercise regime that ensures that have the strength and resilience to enjoy a long and healthy life? Or do you start out with good intentions but the pressures and urgencies of life get in the way? And what about your property investment? Are you property fit with a similar dedicated plan and process supported by daily disciplines, or are you more of a slap happy occasional part time investor that fits things in around the demands of your life? Being property fit is a good description of what it takes to be a successful investor and it also happens to be the title of the second book from our guest, Luke Harris.    Luke is an active investor, who like your’s truly, has made a lot of investment mistakes along the way but these have become the greatest source of learning and improvement that has ultimately been documented in books that yo

Since the advent of covid, there’s been a lot of talk about the exodus from our cities to lifestyle locations and the rise of the regions. But is this sustainable, will there be a post-pandemic boomerang back to the burbs, and is the rise of the regions all that it’s been cracked up to be? Jane Slack-Smith from Your Property Success joins us to balance the conversation. The recent surge in property values across the country means the runaway train of housing accessibility is getting further beyond reach so to discuss an innovative solution to the growing deposit hurdle, we’re joined by the CEO of Coposit Chris Ferris in part 1 of a 2 part Realty Talk feature. And to round out the show, our host Bushy Martin continues our special property management series by outlining the remaining key principles and rules of thumb you need to know, in order to select a great property manager.

Accomplished CEO Peter Meek has rebuilt his wealth after losing it all in the Global Financial Crisis. He shares critical investment and life lessons. How much do you focus on your work and how much do you understand & actively manage your investments? Many of us start out thinking that if we just invest everything in our work and careers and become successful in this one single area of our lives, then everything else will just fall into place and fortune and fame will follow. Just work hard, become good at what you do and everything else will take care of itself. Blind faith and disinterested trust is a dangerous combination when it comes to securing your future. As I repeatedly say in my book The Freedom Formula, I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to invest in your investment knowledge so that you understand where you or others are investing your hard earned coin so you understand the risks as well as the rewards, and then you need to actively manage your managers to keep them accountable, bec

As property values have risen between 20-30% across the country over the last 12 months, what impact has this had on the wealth gap between genders? Core Logic’s Head of Research Eliza Owen joins us to discuss this based on her recently released 2022 Women & Property Report. Recent data reveals that 1.62 million Australian households are looking to downsize their homes over the next 5 years, but what type of properties are they looking for and how do they navigate the financial roadblocks to make this transition? Mark Macduffie from Downsizer.com joins us to talk about solutions to this growing challenge. How a property management office is structured has a big impact on your landlord or tenant experience so our host Bushy Martin concludes the show by continuing our special series on property management by revealing the differences between pods and portfolios.  RealtyTalk is your trusted voice in property investment and Australia’s most popular online property show.  RealtyTalk is brought to you by Realty

My Millennial Money host, author and retired financial adviser Glen James reveals ‘no BS’ insights for getting your finances back on track. Do you have your money sorted out? Are you invested? I don't mean this roughly or vaguely, I'm talking about having a spending plan, dealing with consumer debt, key insurances in place, estate planning set up and a rainy day fund in case of emergencies.  If this is a wake up call, you're like most Aussies ... and you've got some work to do! If you don’t have your sound financial house built on strong unshakeable foundations, there’s no point in putting the cart before the horse and investing in property or shares or crypto, because like two out of the three little pigs who built their houses out of straw and sticks, your financial house will blow over and crumble before your very eyes as soon as the winds of adversity blow and the wolf huffs and puffs. So, if like most, your financial house isn’t in order, and your gold encrusted investments are resting on a fragile house

What do we have for you this week?   Is it too early to call a halt to the property boom? Who really knows? Everyone has an opinion and at the end of the day, only time will tell.  There are so many unknowns and this week we added a new big unknown – a federal election.  There is no doubt in my mind we are seeing a shift in market conditions as we move from a seller-controlled market to one dictated by buyers.  Buyside’s Josh Masters monthly review of market conditions gives some interesting insights and clues on what to look for. If you think the downsizing trend has been staggering up to now then brace yourself.  It is estimated that a staggering 1.6 million Aussies aged between 58 and 76 will downsize in the next 5 years. Bushy Martin catches up with Mark Macduffie, author of a report from downsizing.com, as he reveals a solution to a problem facing many of them.  Find out what that problem is in a moment and hear the solution.

Business leader Kerry Swan joins the podcast to talk about why leading from the heart helps you lead yourself, and others. Are you a leader? If you said no, then I’m going to challenge you because we are all leaders, whether we recognise it or not. Our entire lives are about personal leadership, whether we’re leading others or ourselves. In any and all of these situations you need to invest in your head and your heart, to make the big decisions, to make the right decisions and then invest in action. But many traditional top down command and control approaches to leadership fall short – and this is where Kerry Swan and her unique approach to investing in heartfelt leadership comes to your rescue. Kerry is built for business and leadership. Having survived two business start-ups and the volatility of business in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, she understands, personally, the realities and frustrations of business and leading a team through change. Kerry’s a born and bred project manager from the bush, whose
