Any investor would be pleased to have amassed 13 properties with a total value of $10 million, but to do it in just four years is almost unheard of. But this is Richard Bharata's story. Yes, this level of accelerated growth won't be everyone's story. But it shows us all what is possible with a can do attitude, instead of sitting back and listing the excuses about why your life or your circumstances are 'unfair' and prevent you from having the life you really want. Richard, a retired engineer, has tackled adversity head on and overcome the odds in our current challenging times, where he started with less than nothing around three and a half years ago, and he’s now built a portfolio of 17 rentals spread across 13 properties across three states that’s achieving remarkable growth and rental yield and is currently worth around $10 million. In this episode, you're going to be challenged and provoked by Richard's story - enjoy it and respond accordingly! Connect with Richard ipropertyfinder.com.au Find y

As an investor, are you embracing short term pain for long term gain? Angus O'Loughlin joins the podcast to talk about this and much more. This is delayed gratification - the ability to put aside the temptation of that immediate (but smaller) satisfaction for a bigger reward in the long run. A big part of building a strategy for long term benefit is focusing on quality over quantity. This has been Angus' approach to property investing and life. As you found out last week, Angus worked in the entertainment industry for over 15 years, and at the height of his fame made the decision to step away from the constant 24/7 demands of radio and being in the public eye, to get some time and space back to focus on the quality rather than quantity of life with the establishment of his own awesome studio ‘Sessions in Progress,’ where he now records and distributes podcasts for others while also co-hosting two great podcasts of his own. This week we deep dive into into the practicals of how he has made all this

Many investors are chasing fame or fortune, while missing the most valuable currencies - relationships and reputation. Angus O'Loughlin joins the show to discuss. To be successful, we need to dispel the fallacies of fame and learn that quality is more rewarding than quantity We need to look beyond the ego stimulating allure and superficial fake news ‘noise’ of fame to the genuine fulfillment of doing what you really want to do, not what you should be seen to be doing. Angus O'Loughlin understands this better than anyone. He has worked in the entertainment industry for over 15 years, across TV, radio, and podcasts right across the country. Spending years behind the microphone across Australia as a dedicated radio guy, he’s been the host and worked on some of radio’s biggest shows, including National Nights, the Capital City Breakfast Radio and National Weekends,  and he used to host the national nightly Hit 30 show. At the height of his fame, made the decision to step away from the

How do you consider value versus cost, as a property investor? Skye Taylor joins us to discuss. Cost is what you pay, value is what you get.  Many investors get stuck on the numbers alone and miss main point. This is especially so when it comes to property management.  The most important person in your property team is the best local independent property manager in the area you are looking to buy, and yet many numbers get spooked by costs and go for DIY management - not understanding that this approach could cost you dearly in the long run.  To talk about this and much more, Skye Taylor is back on the show.  Skye is a 20 year property veteran who has gone from buyer’s agent and sales agent to boutique Property Management business owner.

Are you ready to take a leap of faith, in property and life? Skye Taylor is here to help. Have you jumped out of a plane? Some thrill seekers love skydiving, but for others it is much too risky! But the reality is you’re 67 times more likely to get run over by a car walking across the street than you are to lose your life jumping out of a plane. So like most things in life the perceived fear and risk is much greater than the actual reality. It just feels scarier. And this is a similar perceived challenge facing a lot of first time property investors – you’re having to spend a lot of money now to take the risk on the future uncertain prospect of something you don’t know a lot about and don’t have much control over, yet time and time again, the hundreds of thousands of hard working Aussies who have had the courage to master their fears and take the leap into the unknown of property and then lasted the distance have benefited enormously financially. Few understand this better than S

There's no one size fits all approach to property - start by recognising that the power to shape your future is in your hands. Shehan Tambinayagam explains more.  There are many ways to unlock true freedom through property - while we talk a lot about focusing on sustainable success and playing the long game, investors like Shehan have also created huge opportunities through flipping properties, renovating and high impact strategies.  Opportunity is everywhere, if you know where to look.  For Shehan, his rapid rise to success has come through his eye for value and risk.  The author of The Strategic Property Investor: Mastering Value-Add and Due Diligence, investor and buyers agent is back on Get Invested this week to roll up the sleeves and get his hands dirty in the investing world of property flipping, renovation, strategy, due diligence and so much more.

Are you a talker or a builder? For Shehan Tambinayagam, getting proactive in property took him from financial insecurity to abundance in just five years.  There’s no one size fits all approach to property success and financial freedom, and if someone is telling you they have the magic silver bullet – run! What you do and how you do it in property is dependent on a host of internal and external inter-related variable and changing dynamics that include your knowledge, skill, competency and mindset, your risk appetite, your financial capacity, your network and so much more. Perhaps the most important factor is time.  Many people are waiting for 'the right time', and wasting their life talking and scrolling as opportunity slips away. But if you want to be a builder, instead of a talker — and want to build a seriously profitable property portfolio that will fund your version of freedom, then start TODAY, because it’s the what not the when that counts. And to give you the added ins

The most important attribute for property investors isn't what you think. Melinda and Scott Jennison reveal what REALLY matters. The key to building wealth in property isn't the asset, location, your finance structure or research (although these things still matter!), it is time.  It is time that unlocks sustainable success.  So when time is crucial, patience becomes the most important factor for property investors.  And one of the best ways to leverage time is through the power of partnership. This has been foundational for Melinda and Scott Jennison. Together their mix of amazing skills and experiences have combined in life and business to build a strong personal property portfolio as well as their dedicated growing buyers agent business Streamline Property Buyers that focusses on Brisbane, so this week we’re going to dig into their personal journey, and then next week we’re going to deep dive into the intricacies of buying property.

Where is Australian property heading in 2025? Bushy Martin cuts through noise to lay out the year ahead for property investors, buyers and sellers. Australian property market crash / boom / bubble / rise / fall ... the list of keywords that you'll find in various headlines go on and on, especially at this time of year.  And the only thing they all have in common is that they’re all extreme, and they’re all designed to tap into your primal Fear and Greed buttons, so you get sucked in to buy what they're selling.  In this episode, Bushy balances the books by giving you the facts rather than the fiction,so that you can learn to better read property conditions and make better decisionsto suit you and your situation, not everyone else's. Bushy not only gives you thorough insights, he empowers you to understand Australian property for yourself, setting you up for independent, sustainable success. Don't miss this episode.

In the age of misinformation, Australian property is plagued by false 'truisms'. Top property expert Simon Pressley joins us to debunk them.  Simon is the highly acclaimed Head of Research at Propertyology, and he believes that Australians have grown up believing many old wive’s tales merely because they seem logical - and if you hear something often enough, you start believing it must be true. Simon says that “these deep-seated beliefs get regurgitated every day by a bunch of people who have been put on a pedestal and referred to as so called ‘experts’, with most of them being self professed. But little does anyone know that the evidence does not support most of the mutterings of the masses,” as we’re about to find out. So in this enlightening episode for property investors and those who want to invest in property, Simon joins Bushy to break down these common false truisms, to give you real clarity about Australian property and where it is heading.
