Should you be a generalist or a specialist when it comes to property investing – and life? Today’s guest, Simon Borham, shares why sustainable success belongs to those who specialise with a unique point of difference.
In this episode, Bushy Martin sits down with Simon from Eastview Advisory to explore the journey from early mistakes to a powerful property playbook. Simon reveals how his philosophy of “buy once, buy right—then compound” evolved through hands-on experience, why “poor people pay twice,” and how purpose-driven investing can lead to long-term success.
You’ll learn:
Why purpose > paycheck and how to find your Ikigai in property.
The danger of analysis paralysis—and why action beats endless research.
How cheap decisions become the most expensive mistakes you’ll ever make.
The shift from residential value-add projects to long-lease, A-grade commercial assets.
Why a great adviser is the difference between dreaming and doing.
The real power of niche specialisation in a generalist field.
Simon also shares his personal rules for life, risk management through different wealth stages, and how leveraging your unique skills can create a standout point of difference.
