If you think 2025 was a property boom, you’ve been lied to. Prices did rise — but not because Australia suddenly got richer, smarter or more confident. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin dismantles the popular boom narrative and explains why 2025 was really a policy-driven bottleneck that quietly rewarded a small group of prepared investors — while leaving many others exposed. Bushy breaks down how record-low listings, decade-low construction, surging migration and government-engineered price bands combined to create intense pressure in very specific parts of the market. The result? Some Australians made a year’s wage in equity without fanfare, while others chased hotspots, followed influencers, and overpaid for the wrong property in the wrong location — often without realising it yet. In this solo episode, Bushy reveals the three real forces that pushed prices higher even as affordability hit rock bottom, why 2025 was never an “equal boom”, and how national policy settings funnelled buyers into the same narrow price band — creating artificial competition in so-called “affordable” markets. He also revisits his proven 3 I’s (Infrastructure, Incomes, Industry) and 3 P’s (People, Property, Position) framework, showing why fundamentals — not FOMO — explained where growth actually occurred. Most importantly, Bushy outlines why strategy must come before location, and why borderless analysis paired with strong local execution is the smarter way to invest. Stick with Bushy to the end and you’ll walk away with a clear, practical three-step checklist you can use before buying anything in 2026 — because next year isn’t about prediction, it’s about positioning.

Australian property investors are being misled by headlines - here’s why location, not media noise, will determine who wins in 2025. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin sits down with long-time favourite and one of Australia’s most respected property research analysts, Terry Ryder, founder of Hotspotting and author of Why Property Values Rise. Together they cut through the noise to reveal what really drives sustainable property growth - and why most investors never build the portfolio they dream of. Terry unpacks why 70–80% of value growth comes down to local area selection, not the property itself, and why treating Australia as “one market” is lazy and dangerous. He explains how $900B+ of infrastructure is reshaping jobs, incomes and housing demand across thousands of micro-markets - and why forward-looking indicators matter far more than backward-looking stats. From the rise of apartments and overlooked suburbs, to the spectacular failure of doom-and-gloom forecasts, Bushy and Terry give investors a practical GPS for choosing outperforming locations using Terry’s EMPIRICAL formula alongside Bushy’s 3I’s & 3P’s. If you’re serious about building a lifestyle-funding portfolio - not just a random collection of properties - this conversation is essential listening.

Australian property investors are selling up in record numbers – and the 2025 PIPA Investor Survey finally reveals why.  In this solo episode, Bushy Martin breaks down the truth behind the rental crisis and what it really means for everyday Australians trying to build wealth. Bushy unpacks the biggest shifts in this year’s PIPA survey, including: Record investor exits (16% sold in the last year) and why most of those properties left the rental market. Costs rising 10–40% while 65% of investors are passing on less than 10% to tenants. Major fear triggers like negative gearing reform, CGT changes, land tax hikes and compliance blowouts. State-level pain, with QLD and VIC hit hardest. A surprising silver lining — nearly 60% of investors still believe it’s a good time to buy. He then zooms out to reveal the bigger truth most commentators are missing: You don’t fix a shortage by shrinking the supply. Investor exits mean fewer rentals, higher rents and more pressure on the people who can least afford it. Bushy also shares his foresight on what’s coming next — from the likely intensification of the rental crunch to interest rate expectations and why contrarian investors may quietly win the next cycle. Finally, he gives you his clear GPS for what to do now: Strengthen emotional resilience and think long-term Stress-test your buffers and compliance load Avoid hype, focus on fundamentals and buy where true scarcity exists   PIPA Resources This episode draws on insights from the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA).

In a market full of shortcuts, hype, and “get-rich-by-Friday” noise, the real advantage belongs to investors who master the art of shifting gears — between growth and cashflow, and between working hard and actually living well. In Part 2 of Bushy’s deep-dive with Simon Lacey, an investor with 26 properties to his name, we peel back the curtain on what sustainable, purpose-driven property investing really looks like. Simon shares how he refined his entire “property engine” through co-living, commercial lending, and building a people-first buyer’s agency — all while keeping a long-term, fundamentals-first mindset. This is an episode for investors who want to resist the lure of the quick win, avoid the traps of short-term thinking, and instead build wealth the way it’s always been built: with clarity, consistency, and calm execution. Bushy and Simon dig into: How to shift gears between growth and cashflow without stalling your strategy Why the fundamentals — not the fads — deliver real financial freedom How co-living and commercial lending shaped Simon’s investment approach The importance of a people-first lens when building a property business Why persistence, patience and purpose always pay off in the long run If you’re ready to tune out the gimmicks and get serious about building a balanced life and a bulletproof portfolio, this episode will show you exactly what it takes.

Discover how Simon Lacey built a powerhouse 26-property portfolio generating $900k a year - and the strategic lessons every Australian investor can use to live by design. What does it really take to go from a single investment to a 26-property portfolio generating almost a million dollars in rental income? In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin sits down with property investor and buyer’s agent Simon Lacey, who breaks down the mindset, strategy and long-game grit behind one of the most impressive portfolios in the country.

From a light-bulb moment at age 15 to buying his first property at just 20, Simon has built - alongside his wife Christie - a diversified, multi-state portfolio of 26 properties, spanning active developments through to positive cash flow holdings. Today, their investments generate $900,000 in annual rent and are tracking towards the magic million.

Bushy Martin helps you reset your stance for success - by switching your focus from what might change to what never changes. Markets are messy, media is manic, and fads are fickle. Yet amid all the noise, the investors who win are those anchored to the fundamentals that always hold true. Bushy unpacks how to build a property plan that compounds over time, regardless of market moods or media cycles. With over four decades and $4B+ in property finance experience, Bushy explains why people don’t change—and how smart investors can out-structure their emotions, leverage finance as the true market mover, and buy before the crowd turns fundamentals into “hot spots.” Whether you’re an aspiring or seasoned investor, this episode will help you stop reacting to headlines and start compounding the principles that always deliver. Key Takeaways Stop reacting to headlines; start compounding fundamentals. People don’t change—so design your plan to out-structure your emotions. Future growth hides in the 3 I’s & 3 P’s; medians and averages mask the real gems. Finance is the lever: access to credit moves markets more than markets move themselves. Plan for the worst, manage for the best - buffers buy time, and time lets compounding win. Be the contrarian: buy before the pied pipers turn fundamentals into ‘hot spots.’ If you don't know Bushy, he is one of Australia’s most trusted property finance strategists, host of the award-winning Get Invested podcast, and author of The Freedom Formula. Over 40 years and $4B+ in finance experience, Bushy helps everyday Aussies design a lifestyle by choice - using property the right way, with the right structure, and the right team. His mission: to turn confusion into clarity, and reaction into compounding. Find your Freedom Formula Success in property starts with your 'why', and then the 'what' and 'how'.

Can a clever trust structure really give you unlimited borrowing power - or is it just another costly property myth in disguise? In this revealing episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin exposes one of the latest fads doing the rounds in property circles - the so-called SPV Trust strategy that promises “infinite borrowing capacity.” Originally featured on the Geared For Growth podcast with property data expert Mike Mortlock, this candid conversation unpacks the truth behind these “special purpose vehicles” that some spruikers are selling as a shortcut to financial freedom. Bushy and Mike pull back the curtain on the fine print - from hidden lender covenants and personal guarantees to the real-world risks that investors and brokers often overlook. Together, they reveal why “unlimited borrowing” is usually a misleading myth dressed up in a nice suit and why real freedom in property is built on strategy, patience, and good sense, not loopholes and shortcuts.

Why small-scale developers hold the key to solving Australia’s housing crisis – and how you can profit from it.
