Get Invested With Bushy Martin

Let's get in to the really practical side of property investing and creating financial freedom. We’ve got another special episode this week, where Bushy Martin sat down with Jef Miles and Joe Tucker from Aus Property Investors, one of Australia’s largest Facebook communities dedicated to Property Investing.  This was a live stream recorded with the investor community, so there was a stack of great and very practical questions about Australian property, investing insights and also lessons from Bushy’s personal story.

There is no doubt there have been a lot of changes in the last few decades in how we buy a family home, invest in property or sell a property.  Technology has played a big part in shaping those changes.   One thing that has not changed though - despite technology – is the significance of getting the right agent.  Property marketing is like fashion trends - forever evolving and changing.   Likewise, agents are constantly looking for ways to stand out.  The goal of every agent is to stand out enough, so they are called in for advice by any potential seller.  This scramble to self-promote by agents can lead to confusion for a seller looking for the best agent.

A staggering number of investors (73%) who sold one or more of their rental properties in the last year say they were sold to owner occupiers. That could equate to 217,072 dwellings having been stripped from rental markets across Australia. NEW – Join the Property Hub community on Substack!

Beyond the hype and the headlines, how hard is it really to break in to Australian property, especially for young people? To talk about this and much more, Damian Hoar joins this week's episode of Get Invested. Research from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute suggests that only 11 per cent of potential first home buyers can afford to purchase property in Australia. And it's not as a simple as 'just cut back on lattes and smashed avo toast'.  Damian joins us to talk about what it is really like for millennials and Gen Zs trying to pursue "the Australian dream". He is the host of the popular ‘Finance and Property Survival Guide’ podcast, and also works as a mortgage broker. At just 26, and having experienced is own financial challenges, Damian is on a mission to help other young people get on top of budgeting, investing and more. He also talks about the importance of 'gamifying your life' as you develop skills and attributes, and also the importance of dealing with stress as you start to get se

Technically speaking there is no such thing as an off-market property if you are dealing with an agent.  If an agent is involved - whether it is advertised/marketed or not, a property must be listed for sale and the proper authorities must be in place so the agent can represent the seller. Joe Tucker and Bushy Martin give great insight today about listings that are referred to as being off-market, how to find them, and if they are really as attractive as all the hype.

Given the massive uplift in property values post-pandemic with prices lifting properties to the tune of 20% to 50% against the backdrop of average annual growth of under 7%, many locations and property prices are likely to flatline and go sideways over the next 8-10 years.  So how can you continue to build equity in your property in this climate?   This week Bushy is joined by  Joe Tucker, co-founder of the hugely popular Aus Property Investors Facebook Forum to open up a discussion about the opportunities.   In the second part of the show, we have asked John Manciameli from Hunterwood Solutions to suggest different types of ownership vehicles that you have at your disposal to secure property and the pros and cons of these in terms of capacity, cost, protection, and risk.

Drew Evans, a Director of Caifu Property, joins Bushy in this week's show with a somewhat fascinating thought about securing property at a wholesale price to maintain cash flow affordability while generating equity growth. An interesting thought. Find out how Drew suggests it is possible. Also in today’s show, Bushy talks to Kev Tran who quotes from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute report that reveals 40 percent of 25 to 34-year-olds rely on the bank of mum and dad to purchase their first property. So where does that leave the young Aussies who don’t have family support as an option? Let's see what Kev and Bushy come up with in the show. This week we also welcome a new commentator to the team. Rasti Vaibhav from Get RARE Property has appeared with Bushy in past shows and has provided us with some outstanding advice on securing good solid investment property and developing a successful portfolio.

Are familiar bad habits preventing you from investing and growing wealth? The core issue could be rooted in childhood trauma, says Mark Reid. This could be the most important podcast you listen to, giving you the power to transform your life so that you can start to remove the hidden barriers that are preventing you from living your best life.

We start this week with an alert from Ben Kingsley, Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia.   We will play Ben’s full video message to you in the show today because what he talks about - the Green’s proposal for 2.2 million small business property owners to subsidise their tenants’ rents, with a 2 year freeze on rental increases - promises a very real financial burden on all the Mum and Dad property investors in Australia. We encourage you to pay heed to Ben’s message and, after you have heard the facts, use this link to send a message to the policy makers.  Also today Nicola McDougall from the Property Investment Professionals of Australia adds her thoughts about the Green’s rental freeze proposal and how it is likely to have the reverse effect - a message every renter will need to hear.   Raymond Hempstead joins Bushy with some insight about purchasing property through a Self Managed Super Scheme and Scott Aggett joins Bushy with some excellent advice about how you can overcome the hurdles to

This week in the show we turn the spotlight on successful investment and alarmingly we have learnt that a very small percentage - 5% or 1 in 20 - property investors achieve sustainable success.   John Manciameli also tells Bushy how many investors sell up within 5 years.  John will reveal what separates the best from the rest. Also in today’s show, Bushy talks to Matthew Aflitto about the investment opportunities emerging in the commercial property development sector, driven by funding gaps and short falls.  NEW – Join the Property Hub community on Substack!

Yet most people don't have the right financial foundations, even if they have the best of intentions for investing and building wealth.

But the fundamentals of financial fitness apply to everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, colour or creed – so listen up because your about to enjoy some pearls of wealth building wisdom from Amanda, who is also an award winning financial planner, three-time world championship qualifying Iron Woman and the founder and Director of Endurance Financial. Amanda is living proof of the benefits of developing financial fitness after overcoming a series of serious life challenges, which she

Airbnb certainly changed the short term accommodation market and arguably caused a tectonic upheaval in the availability of rentals for long termers. Currently there are over 100,000 Airbnb properties listed in Australia. A more serious problem than supply has surfaced. Hear Bushy discuss it with Juls Rolnik. There is a lot to be said for planning your exit.  That especially applies to investment property and tax.  The expert we talk to today suggests planning before you even buy.   There is one way to never make a mistake - don’t do anything!  That really isn’t the answer and in fact sometimes the best way to learn is by making mistakes.  Fear of failure is one of the major reasons to sit on your hands but today we hope we can help you overcome that fear and move forward.  Arjun Paliwell joins Bushy to do just that.  NEW – Join the Property Hub community on Substack!
