Get Invested: Part 1 - Graham Whitfield’s $2M property pivot: From FIFO to flipping freedom

Is the ‘buy and hold’ approach too slow to get you off the hamster wheel? Discover how flipping property helped one Aussie investor make $2M in just four years — starting with a tenant disaster.

If you’re tired of being stuck in a job that leaves you time-poor and energy-depleted, and you’re wondering if there’s a faster path to freedom through property investment — you’re not alone.

This week on Get Invested, Bushy Martin kicks off a compelling two-part conversation with Graham Whitfield — a former FIFO worker turned full-time property flipper and coach. After a trashed rental property left him $35k out of pocket, Graham decided to flip his script and pursue a hands-on investment strategy that would soon deliver multimillion-dollar returns.

In this first instalment, Graham shares the highs, lows and big turning points in his personal journey. You’ll hear how he overcame the fear of flipping, what he’s learned from over 30 renovation projects, and how creative, active investing can help you break free from the long game of traditional property.

Bushy also unpacks the current state of the market, the shift away from easy growth, and why active strategies like flipping may be the key to staying ahead — especially as Australia moves into a new property cycle.
