Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

You can fall for a kitchen before anyone has checked whether you can afford to keep the house. And when three documents repeat the same estimate, agreement can look a lot like evidence.

Bushy takes last week’s courtroom into the field for The Case of the Perfect Property. Follow two versions of the same fictional purchase: one led by the listing, the other by a written investment brief. The property is the same, but your future self has a very different stake in the outcome.

A national location specialist narrows the map, a local property manager challenges rental assumptions, and independent checks reveal what the apparent bargain would really demand. Then 18 Ordinary Avenue makes an unexpected entrance.

This episode closes the operational L for Leverage discussion in Property W.E.A.L.T.H., as the on-field team tests a specific purchase. T for Treatment will unpack the fuller procurement sequence. A separate Property Pulse highlights why reviewing a loan with a broker before an interest-only expiry can help preserve options.

What You’ll Learn

• Build a clear investment brief: Set your long term goal, purchase and holding cost limits, reserves and property requirements.

• Test locations and rental estimates: Combine national research with local knowledge and investigate conflicting rental evidence.

• Understand the three property markets: Consider acquisition, occupation and exit demand.

• Verify before committing: Explore legal, building, finance, insurance and specialist checks.

• Evaluate the whole PRICE: Assess Price, Risk, Information, Certainty and Execution against your original brief.

The CLUES Framework

C — Client Brief: Define your goals, budget, reserves and property requirements before choosing a postcode.

L — Location Shortlist: Identify regions that fit your brief using independent research and the three Is and three Ps.

U — Underfoot Local Truth: Use local property, management knowledge to investigate neighbourhoods, tenants and everyday conditions.

E — Evidence Stack: Verify rent, title, condition, finance, insurance and depreciation.

S — Secure the Deal: Test the whole PRICE against your brief. A discount cannot change a road or school boundary.

The goal is to stop defending an attractive listing and start testing whether it serves your life. The investor makes the final decision, supported by evidence and qualified specialists. Better investigation reduces blind spots without guaranteeing performance.

Your accountant likes the ownership structure. Your broker can arrange the loan. Your property looks promising. But has anyone checked whether the whole plan still lets you work less and live more?

In this next chapter of my Property W.E.A.L.T.H. L for Leverage series, I put your core property team on trial. Last episode was about choosing the right experts. This one is about making sure their advice works together before you commit.

Through fictional investors Alex and Jo, we compare two $850,000 property packages with very different holding costs. We examine how acquisition funding, tax timing, debt repayment and lender release conditions can change the outcome, and why a bigger sale cheque doesn't necessarily mean a bigger win.

We also bring in the financial planner's perspective. Because building wealth on paper is one thing; having accessible money when you want to step back from work is another.

There's Dave's kitchen testimony, a home loan watching Seinfeld and the ever elusive “Someone Should” avoiding the summons. But beneath the laughs is a serious lesson: your specialists need to work from the same facts, understand their responsibilities and build a strategy around the life you actually want.

We'll finish with the verdict: buy, amend, wait or walk. Because sometimes the best professional advice is to do nothing until the numbers make sense.

What you'll learn

• How property type and ownership structure affect upfront funding and ongoing household contributions.

• Why bank approval, household affordability and lender release conditions are three different questions.

• How private debt, investment debt and borrowed funds need a deliberate repayment and offset strategy.

• Why tax relief timing matters when holding costs arrive before the refund.

• How debt, cost base and tax, loss offsets affect the money you keep when you sell.

• Why your financial planner needs to test accessible capital, superannuation timing and the income bridge into retirement.

• How to bring conflicting professional advice together into one clear verdict: buy, amend, wait or walk.

Successful property investing is an elite team sport. But how do you find the right people, know who to trust, and make sure everyone is working towards your goals?

In this solo episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin explores the L for Leverage stage of the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. journey, showing you how to assemble, assess and lead a team of property professionals who put your interests first.

From testing whether your advisers invest in property themselves to uncovering hidden incentives, combining national strategy with local knowledge and keeping everyone accountable, Bushy explains how to build a team that supports better decisions before, during and long after settlement.

What You’ll Learn

• Own the club: Define your lifestyle goals, freedom numbers, financial buffers and the purpose of your next investment.
• Walk the talk: Why personal property investment experience is an essential starting point when assessing professionals.
• Follow the money: Identify fees, commissions, conflicts of interest and whether your team can confidently tell you no.
• Get the right people in the room: The five essential roles of a property strategist, investment savvy finance broker, property specialist accountant, local portfolio property manager and skilled negotiator.
• Think nationally, check locally: Combine location strategy with street, level insights into tenants, property condition and realistic rental returns.
• Run an effective team huddle: Document the facts, assumptions, unanswered questions, responsibilities, deadlines and walk away triggers.
• Stay connected after settlement: Keep your team involved in ongoing property management and adapt your strategy as your life changes.

The goal isn't to outsource your decisions. It's to surround yourself with the right expertise so you can make informed decisions, protect your interests and build wealth with purpose.

Trusting the wrong person can cost you. But trusting no one can keep you stuck.

In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin sits down with truth and trust expert Dominic Thurbon, author of To Be Honest, to unpack what it really means to trust the people, numbers and advice shaping your financial future.

Because “off-market”, “independently researched”, “up to 6% return” and “exclusive” might all be technically true, but still not tell you the whole truth.

Dominic shares a practical way to seek, speak and hear truth, while Bushy applies it to property, finance and building the right expert team.

You’ll discover how to test the claim, the person and the relationship, spot conflicts and incentives, handle uncomfortable advice, and perhaps most importantly, challenge the story you want to believe.

This episode sits within L for Leverage in Bushy’s Property W.E.A.L.T.H. journey: finding, testing and working with the right people so your network strengthens your net worth, and your life.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• Why blanket trust and blanket distrust can both hold you back.

• How to separate constructive scepticism from decision paralysis.

• Why truth is a behaviour, not just a value.

• How to test whether a property or finance claim is true and complete.

• How to assess the person behind the claim, including their incentives and conflicts.

• Why the best professional relationships need to be able to handle disagreement and “no”.

• The 5 Trust Ts: Talent, Tangibles, Trade, Tax and Touch.

• How to spot the behaviours that build a genuinely trusted expert team.

• Why the biggest risk may be the story you want to believe yourself.

• How to slow down, ask better questions, set an evidence bar, and then act.

“Alternative investment” can sound like a shortcut to higher returns. But before you buy into the story, you need to understand what’s actually creating the return, and where the risk sits.

In this solo episode, Bushy takes you through the Investment Mystery Aisle, covering private credit, unlisted businesses, farmland, infrastructure, gold, collectibles, crypto and specialist alternatives.

He breaks down the Four Ps, Payer, Profit, Paper and Passage, to help you interrogate an investment before committing your money.

You’ll also discover why a regular distribution doesn’t necessarily mean genuine income, how leverage can hide in multiple layers, why “non correlated” doesn’t automatically mean diversified, and why being a sophisticated investor is an entry ticket, not a qualification.

Bushy then brings it all together with the Alternative Asset Passport and Investor Strategy Wind-Vane to help you work out whether an investment actually belongs in your plan.

What you’ll learn:

• The six different types of alternative investments and what drives their returns.
• The Four Ps for stress testing an investment offer.
• How to spot disguised returns of your own capital.
• Where hidden leverage and shared risks can sit.
• Why illiquidity and smooth valuations deserve closer scrutiny.
• What sophisticated investor status does, and doesn’t, tell you.
• How the same investment can be green, amber or red depending on the investor.
• Five practical moves: Take It, Test It, Trim It, Park It or Put It Back.

In this episode, Bushy Martin speaks with small development specialist Hayden Warren from Golden Eggs Property about a different way to look at property investing.

Instead of simply asking “what should I buy next?”, they explore a more powerful question:

What can this property become?

From retain-and-build subdivisions to the “buy one, build one, sell one, keep one” strategy, Hayden explains how investors can potentially manufacture value, create additional supply and recycle capital, when the numbers and the site genuinely stack up.

But there’s a big difference between hidden gold and hi-vis fairy dust.

Bushy and Hayden unpack what needs to be assessed before reaching for the Bunnings tape measure, including zoning, access, services, setbacks, easements, finance, construction costs, end values, tax, entity structures and your all, important buffers.

Because a policy tailwind doesn’t make a project feasible.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why “what can this property become?” could be a more useful question than simply asking what to buy.
• How retain and build strategies can potentially create additional value and housing supply.
• The thinking behind “one deposit → two titles” and where the strategy can fall apart.
• How to spot genuine development potential before getting carried away with backyard gold.
• Why feasibility, buffers and the right professional team matter more than excitement.
• How changing tax settings may create new opportunities for qualifying new-build strategies.
• Why softer market sentiment can create opportunities, but only for investors who can manage the risks.
• The questions to ask before turning a property into a development project.
• Why the smartest first step might be measuring your buffers, not your backyard.

The takeaway:
Before you start dreaming about what your property could become, make sure the numbers can handle what it might cost.

Hidden gold or hi-vis fairy dust?
Feasibility before fantasy.

In Part 1, I asked whether Property deserved an interview. In Part 2, I go deeper, because you can’t hire an asset class. You hire one specific Property to perform one specific job, for one specific investor, under one specific financial contract.

I put seven Property career paths through the same evidence-based interview: live vesting, established growth Property, qualifying new builds, the Property Platypus, residential income, direct Commercial Property, and listed, unlisted, fractional or specialist exposure.

Then I test the claims, the numbers, the finance and the exit strategy to work out which approach might actually fit, and which should be shown the door.

In this episode you'll discover:

• The legitimate job, good version, bad version, suitable investor and rejection signs for seven Property approaches
• Why gross rental yield is not the same thing as sustainable lifestyle income
• Why most households hit borrowing, equity, affordability and risk limits before they can own enough direct rentals to live on net rent alone
• How to apply the Liberation Calculation, Established Edge Stack, New-Build Price X-ray, Platypus pay cheques and Yield Waterfall
• Why Commercial Property can fall in value even when the tenant keeps paying every dollar of rent
• What fractional Property investors actually own, and why a small ticket doesn’t mean small due diligence
• The difference between interest-only and principal, and, interest debt, and why clean loan lanes matter
• How to classify your existing assets into Keep, Tune and Release before progressively converting growth into lifestyle income
• How to apply the final four-step Property Hiring Card: Define, Diagnose, De risk and Decide

The post, Budget answer isn’t a universal Property winner.

It’s finding the right Property, for the right investor, doing the right job, under the right financial contract.

Property should only get the job when the current conditions improve the terms, without lowering the standards that made it right in the first place.

Property gets talked about like it’s one big market, but it isn’t.

Every property has its own micro climate, micro economy, buyer pool and position on its location specific growth S-curve.

So before you buy based on a postcode, property type or glossy brochure, you need to decide what job you actually need the property to do.

In this solo episode of Get Invested, Bushy puts Property through the same investment diagnostic used for Business, Shares and Alternative Assets, and gives you the practical filters to decide whether it deserves the job.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why “the Property market” doesn’t really exist, and why street-level conditions matter more than national headlines

• How to write a seven, line Property Job Description before you start searching

• The difference between borrowing capacity and what your household can safely hold

• How to use traffic lights and three gates to stop a fatal flaw being averaged away

• Why one brochure, agent and valuer can still equal just one source

• The three year no rescue test and three ledgers every property needs to survive

• How the 3,2,1 Freedom Test can help determine whether your property portfolio is actually creating freedom

• Why your comfort asset might earn an interview, but only evidence earns it the job

Property has earned the right to apply.

But has it earned the job?

Tune in to find out.

Investing doesn’t have to be complicated, but with endless opinions, market noise and thousands of investment options competing for your attention, it’s easy to spend more time researching what to buy than actually building a plan you can stick to.

In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy sits down with investor, author and market commentator Scott Phillips to unpack his new book, The One Page Investing Plan, a refreshingly simple framework for making better investment decisions.

Scott challenges the idea that complexity equals sophistication and explains why the best investment plan is often the one simple enough to survive real life, market falls and our own behaviour.

From knowing what “enough” looks like to building buffers, automating your investing and giving different assets a specific job, this is a practical conversation about turning investment theory into a system you can actually follow.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• Why “what should I buy?” is the wrong place to start

• Why “enough” should come before the asset

• The key ingredients of a simple, sustainable investing system

• How shares, ETFs, property, super, cash and business interests can work together

• Why starting ugly and learning cheap can beat waiting for perfection

• The difference between an ETF wrapper and genuinely broad, low-cost diversification

• Why maximising after-tax returns matters more than simply minimising tax

You may already own more shares than you think.

And the way you own them can matter just as much as what you buy.

In this episode, Bushy Martin reframes equities as an ownership tool, not a product, a live scoreboard or a race to pick the next winner.

Drawing on lessons from his own $33,000 CFD loss and four key insights from PensionCraft founder Ramin Nakisa, Bushy explores five different ways to invest in equities and why there’s no universal winner between property and shares.

The goal isn’t to abandon property or declare one asset class superior. It’s to understand which ownership approach best fits the life you’re building.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• Why your first move should be an inventory of your existing equity exposure, including what you already own through super.

• The five sharemarket lanes: trading, direct company selection, broad indexing, systematic or factor investing, and active professional management.

• Why an ETF is a wrapper—not an automatic guarantee of diversification, quality or simplicity.

• How a 30% market fall requires almost a 43% recovery, and how behaviour can turn volatility into permanent loss.

• Why margin lending creates a very different liquidity and forced-sale risk from property debt.

• How to compare property and equities based on fit, friction, leverage and failure points—not tribal preference.

• How fees, brokerage, platforms, spreads, tax and behaviour can create a hidden friction stack.

• The six practical actions you can use to choose an ownership approach that fits your freedom plan.

The result isn’t a product recommendation. It’s a decision framework for purposeful owners who want their wealth to grow without letting the market consume the life that wealth is meant to fund.
