Secrets To Finding Great Tenants - Gabby Hillier
Secrets To Finding Great Tenants - Gabby Hillier Are you actually reading your prospective tenants' credit reports, or are you just checking their credit scores?

The Edmonton Rental Market Has Changed. Landlords Need to Adapt.
The Edmonton Rental Market Has Changed. Landlords Need to Adapt. The Edmonton rental market isn't what it was in 2023 or 2024. For several years, landlords benefited from an unusually strong environment. Vacancy was low, rents climbed quickly and strong tenants sometimes competed for available properties. That environment is over. Wayne and Gabby have been anticipating the shift for several years, but today they argue it has become impossible to ignore.

Canada Housing Starts Are Down — But What Does That Actually Mean? Housing starts are down. Sounds important. But does that mean Canada is building fewer homes? Does it mean housing prices are about to rise? Does it mean fewer rental properties are coming? Not necessarily. On today's Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby dig underneath the housing-start headlines and explain why the number most people quote does not tell investors nearly enough on its own. The problem is simple: When Canada reports "housing starts," that number combines very different types of housing. A

Canada's Construction Boom Is Finally Slowing Down For the last few years, Canada has been building aggressively. More apartments. More condos. More purpose-built rentals. More infill. More density.
