The Affordances of Investment: Bushy Martin on how to effectively sustain long-term property investment

Season 9, Ep. 918

Growing up in the regional areas of Victoria, Martin had never envisioned a future in property investment, let alone start his own advisory business for investors struggling  in the property investment field. With an international property portfolio worth over $4 million and 12 property investments under his belt, Martin uses his past experiences to help guide others into comfortably investing in property.


In this episode, Martin shares how he worked around the troubles of sustainably investing in property, how he learned from the disaster that was his first property investment, and how he uses his time effectively to balance his business and his own portfolio.
