Get Invested With Bushy Martin

The use of drugs - and in particular methamphetamine - is a growing concern generally, but particularly in the property investment area.  Unless you have a good property manager or you are testing yourself, chances are you won’t know until it's too late.  Being too late can cost thousands and might even mean total demolition of the property.   So would you be covered - how can you tell and what about the extended liability risks.  Bushy gets some expert opinion in the show.  He also seeks to find out from regular guest and a member of our experts panel Rasti, from Get RARE Property, what diversification looks like and the benefits.

Many property investors feel 'stuck' - knowing what to do, but unable to get off the merry-go-round. Dr Simone Boer reveals why, and how to unlock your full potential. As we continue to say, it is mindset that separates the successful from the rest. If it sounds a bit woo woo to you, it is all backed by neuroscience. And our guest, Simone, is living proof of transformational change in action through her impressive property investments that enable her life changing coaching work. As you’re about to hear, Simone’s career path has been anything but a straight line; think of it more like a thrilling rollercoaster through the worlds of neuroscience, business strategy, and now, life-changing coaching. Alongside her 9-to-5 adventures, Simone’s been a savvy player in the property game for over 15 years. She's juggled an investment portfolio across Australia's varied landscapes, finessed three subdivisions, and rolled up her sleeves for four renovations. Her latest move? Stepping into the commercial property arena. Wi

We continue the conversation on business succession with expert Bill Heestand. If the goal of investing your time, energy and money is ultimately to create an ongoing regular cash flow income that will continue to fuel your lifestyle long term, as a small business owner or employee, why wouldn’t you consider investing in your business to return for all the hard work and dedication? In Part 2 of our interview, Bill talks about how you can maximise that unrealized investment opportunity, your business, that you have more control overthan any other. During his 32 years in business, Bill has successfully bought and sold a small business not just once but four times that has grown wealth for the participants and created ongoing regular retirement income. Enjoy the discussion.

A savvy business succession strategy can set you up for retirement AND set up your key employees. Bill Heestand joins us to explain how. It is our 300th episode of Get Invested - wow, what an incredible milestone! Thank you for joining us on the journey.  And this episode is a special one.  While we talk about property investing for retirement, there's also saving for retirement and CREATING for retirement. Creating and selling a business can supercharge your investments and set you up for life after work.  Personally, I (Bushy) and my wife Sonya have been wresting with the question of how to bring our key employees on the journey with our company KnowHow Property - so we started working on a unique perpetual custodian business model (which I explain in this episode). That led us to Bill Heestand in the US.  He had written a great book called ‘The Ownership Ladder’ that has been rebadged as ‘The Ultimate Career Path - How A Smart Employee Can Buy Out The Boss’. And I’m excited that Bill has joined us on the s

There is a lot of talk about AI - Artificial Intelligence.  The way we buy and sell real estate has not changed in almost 40 years - since the internet impacted the process. AI will change that!  Kylie Davis is a leading authority on the Australian proptech landscape and the founder and president of the Proptech Association of Australia.  Property is a massive, fragmented industry overdue for an upgrade.  Make no mistake - the real estate industry will be affected by AI.  So too, will buyers and sellers.  One of our sponsors - Realty.com.au this week launched AI powered Discovery Search which will change how we find the home we are looking for.  We will tell you more about Realty’s Discovery Search next week.

A few weeks ago property investors from around Australia and New Zealand gathered to swap ideas, network, and listen to some very knowledgeable speakers share their experiences at the inaugural PIPA Conference.  One of those keynote speakers was the previous Property Investment Professionals of Australia or PIPA Chair and continuing board member Peter Koulizos - also known as the Property Professor - who took everyone on a property and location masterclass. Our own Bushy Martin was the emcee at the event and was so impressed with the information Peter went through that he invited Peter to join him in a full Realty Talk show and today is the day.  So get your note paper and pen out because you are about to hear some very powerful insights.

Instead of having property loans draining your income for 30 years, imagine paying them off in just a fraction of that time. It's possible, and Serina Bird reveals how.  Serina (who first joined Get Invested back on episode 129) is a finance writer, podcaster and author who is a self-made millionaire who now helps people save money and live more meaningful lives. She is the host of The Joyful Frugalista podcast and author of The Joyful Frugalista and The Joyful Startup Guide. She writes a regular column with Money Magazine that encourages people to spend less and save more (with joy) on the path to financial empowerment. The latest ABS Census confirms that about 35% of Australia's 9.8 million homes are owned with a mortgage, and a recent report indicates that on average, home loaners currently need to spend between 40-45% of their income on mortgage repayments. Now the national average mortgage level has increased by 36% since 2018 to around $600K according to the latest ABS figures, which means that repaymen

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.

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.
