Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration

Ahead of Federal Election 2025, Bushy Martin cuts through the political noise to give you an honest, no-spin breakdown of the housing policies proposed by the major parties and how it impacts Australian property investors. With skyrocketing property prices outpacing wages and a shortage of housing supply, this election could be a pivotal moment for your investment strategy. Key Highlights: Housing Affordability Crisis: Bushy explains why housing affordability is such a mess, with property prices rising faster than wages, creating a perfect storm for investors. Labor’s Housing Solutions: The Australian Labor Party’s $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) promises 30,000 homes over five years but faces challenges. Also, the Home Guarantee Scheme and social housing push may provide opportunities but also bring inflationary pressures. Liberal-National Coalition’s Approach: The Coalition’s $5 billion infrastructure fund and reforms like tax-deductible mortgage repayments and APRA adjustments could stimulate housing supply and help first-home buyers. However, these policies risk pushing property prices higher and adding to demand. Greens’ Radical Policies: The Greens propose phasing out negative gearing, implementing rent controls, and building public housing. While aimed at affordability, these policies may inadvertently reduce housing supply and worsen the rental crisis. Bushy concludes by stressing the essential role of property investors in supplying rental housing and how misguided policies could push them out of the market, exacerbating the affordability issue. Takeaways: Whether you’re an investor or aspiring homebuyer, understanding the policy impacts is crucial. Bushy breaks it down so you can make an informed vote and position yourself for better investment outcomes, no matter who wins the election.

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.

Angus O’Loughlin, a veteran of the entertainment industry, discusses the art of investing with a focus on quality over quantity. He shares insights on embracing delayed gratification and building wealth through strategic property investments. Angus reflects on his journey from radio to creating a podcast studio, highlighting the challenges faced along the way, including navigating market fluctuations. He also emphasizes the importance of mentorship and resilience in real estate, all while balancing personal aspirations and family responsibilities.

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 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. In this episode we’re going to unpick the learnings from his journey with fame, fortune and beyond, before deep diving into his personal property investment journey next week.

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 Skye Taylor. Skye is not only an accomplished sky diver, she’s also a 20 year property veteran who has gone from buyers agent and sales agent to boutique property management business owner.
