Mike is joined once again by podcast favourite and property research guru, Simon Pressley, to talk about the dynamics of regional property markets and how they might differ from capital cities. Mike and Simon explore the relative merits of investing in regional markets, and the biggest drivers that are likely to influence market direction, whether it's population growth, economic diversity or other factors. Simon talks to the need to understand risk and how an area that is heavily weighted to one industry such as mining, is going to be a riskier option than a town or area that is much more diversified.
