• Get Invested: Terry Ryder on the hunt for real growth and why property values rise

  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.

• Get Invested: Bushy's housing reality check - the 7 signals every investor must understand now

  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).

• Get Invested - Part 2: Simon Lacey on patience, purpose and property over get-rich gimmicks

  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.

• Get Invested: Bushy Martin on same as ever success - why truth trumps trendy tactics in property

  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'.
