In this conversation, Luke and Sam discuss the importance of yield and how it varies across different markets. They explore the concept of relative growth and the factors that contribute to a suburb's performance.

They also touch on the limitations of macroeconomic forecasting and the value of taking a long-term view. Luke shares insights from his research and emphasizes the need for a scientific and data-driven approach to investing.

Sam highlights the key metrics he uses in his investment strategy, including smart median house prices, annualized growth forecasts, inventory levels, vacancy rates, and gentrification scores.
