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.

Drew Evans, a Director of Caifu Property, joins Bushy in this week's show with a somewhat fascinating thought about securing property at a wholesale price to maintain cash flow affordability while generating equity growth. An interesting thought. Find out how Drew suggests it is possible. Also in today’s show, Bushy talks to Kev Tran who quotes from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute report that reveals 40 percent of 25 to 34-year-olds rely on the bank of mum and dad to purchase their first property. So where does that leave the young Aussies who don’t have family support as an option? Let's see what Kev and Bushy come up with in the show. This week we also welcome a new commentator to the team. Rasti Vaibhav from Get RARE Property has appeared with Bushy in past shows and has provided us with some outstanding advice on securing good solid investment property and developing a successful portfolio.

We start this week with an alert from Ben Kingsley, Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia.   We will play Ben’s full video message to you in the show today because what he talks about - the Green’s proposal for 2.2 million small business property owners to subsidise their tenants’ rents, with a 2 year freeze on rental increases - promises a very real financial burden on all the Mum and Dad property investors in Australia. We encourage you to pay heed to Ben’s message and, after you have heard the facts, use this link to send a message to the policy makers.  Also today Nicola McDougall from the Property Investment Professionals of Australia adds her thoughts about the Green’s rental freeze proposal and how it is likely to have the reverse effect - a message every renter will need to hear.   Raymond Hempstead joins Bushy with some insight about purchasing property through a Self Managed Super Scheme and Scott Aggett joins Bushy with some excellent advice about how you can overcome the hurdles to

This week in the show we turn the spotlight on successful investment and alarmingly we have learnt that a very small percentage - 5% or 1 in 20 - property investors achieve sustainable success.   John Manciameli also tells Bushy how many investors sell up within 5 years.  John will reveal what separates the best from the rest. Also in today’s show, Bushy talks to Matthew Aflitto about the investment opportunities emerging in the commercial property development sector, driven by funding gaps and short falls.  NEW – Join the Property Hub community on Substack!

Sustainable success in wealth creation is about getting and staying financially fit, says Amanda Thompson. Yet most people don't have the right financial foundations, even if they have the best of intentions for investing and building wealth.

But the fundamentals of financial fitness apply to everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, colour or creed – so listen up because your about to enjoy some pearls of wealth building wisdom from Amanda, who is also an award winning financial planner, three-time world championship qualifying Iron Woman and the founder and Director of Endurance Financial.

Currently there are over 100,000 Airbnb properties listed in Australia. A more serious problem than supply has surfaced. Hear Bushy discuss it with Juls Rolnik. There is a lot to be said for planning your exit.  That especially applies to investment property and tax.  The expert we talk to today suggests planning before you even buy.   There is one way to never make a mistake - don’t do anything!  That really isn’t the answer and in fact sometimes the best way to learn is by making mistakes.  Fear of failure is one of the major reasons to sit on your hands but today we hope we can help you overcome that fear and move forward.  Arjun Paliwell joins Bushy to do just that.  NEW – Join the Property Hub community on Substack!

Buying, renovating, selling and investing isn't just limited to bricks and mortar, the digital world offers huge opportunities for property investors to diversify and unlock more cashflow, says Matt Raad. Typically in Australia, the highest and safest reliable growth and cash flow vehicle that is tax incentivised is property. However with recent increases in both property values and interest rates, the barriers to purchasing property from an equity and borrowing capacity are becoming challenging for many investors – so what are the safe, affordable or easy alternatives? How about an asset class with limitless supply and demand that requires little capital to invest?  We're talking about investing in the buying, renovation and selling of websites – assets that could be considered as the digital equivalent of real estate or virtual property. This is where our guest Matt Raad comes in. Matt started with nothing to build a high cash flow portfolio through buying and selling businesses that shifted to the virtual
