You’ve saved, organised your borrowing and opened a property portal. But when someone confidently names the next hotspot, how do you know it actually fits your investment strategy?
In this episode, Bushy explores Gate 3: Location, within Property W.E.A.L.T.H.’s seven permission gates. Using four fictional investor scenarios, he applies the six Location FILTER tests to narrow the search to two or three defensible location, and property, treatment pairings.
From employment quality and competing supply to market timing, insurance and rental evidence, Bushy shows why the right investment starts with your strategy and financial capacity, not someone else’s favourite postcode.
You’ll discover why a $650,000 search may need an authorised $750,000 reset, how rental differences affect weekly holding costs, and why independent local evidence matters before making a decision.
The goal is a practical, evidence, backed location shortlist that sets up the comparison of established, home and differentiated, new property routes before Gate 4: the actual property auditions.
What you’ll learn:
How Ms Cash Flow’s $700k capital and $200k debt produce $512 weekly before tax.
How strategy, capacity, price, costs and reserves shape your search.
Why Macro, Midcro and Micro scarcity research matters.
How the 3 Is, 3 Ps, employment and rental evidence assess locations.
How $825k/$840k debts and $905k/$920k facilities compare with a $750k budget.
How $650 versus $580 rent changes weekly costs from $685 to $752 before tax.
