Cate met Mike back in 2018 when Mike asked her to feature on his podcast, Geared for Growth. The pair hit it off straight away and have enjoyed tax, economic, political, sports cars, and (-the occasional bit of-) science banter.
Mike’s business have recently completed an interesting ‘White Paper’ study titled 1,000 Assets. The study involved a four year documented focus on investor behaviour, from location trends to renovation expenditure and beyond. MCG Quantity Surveying uncovered some 40+ trends within the study and their work will continue to shape our ability to profile Australian investor behaviour.
In the four episodes that follow this initial introduction to Mike himself, Mike generously shares four selected findings that Cate has circled in on. The pair discuss the coalface observations with Mike’s documented trends and the parallels are quite exciting.
“What is a QS guy?”
Cate quizzes Mike during this first episode about what he does, how investors have changed over the years, and what buyers can anticipate in this current market.
