🎧 Decision Fatigue, BRRRR Missteps & Canada's “Best Markets” Ranked?
Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

In today’s episode, Wayne and Gabby talk about the hidden cost of decision fatigue, how to protect your time and mental energy, and why constantly reacting to texts and DMs can derail your progress as an investor.

They also answer a question about using the BRRRR strategy on a brand-new pre-construction home with a basement suite. Wayne explains why that’s not likely to work — and walks through smarter strategies using Purchase Plus Improvements instead.

To wrap up the show, they react to the new list from MoneySense and Zoocasa ranking the top cities to buy real estate in Canada in 2025. Do they agree with the rankings? Not quite — and Wayne breaks down how to interpret this kind of media hype when analyzing real fundamentals.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• What decision fatigue is — and how it kills your productivity

• Why you can’t BRRRR most pre-construction properties

• How Purchase Plus Improvements can unlock renovations and suite additions

• How to pull accurate comps for ARV

• The problem with “best cities” lists — and how to do your own research

• Why investors need to set stronger communication boundaries

🎧 Tenant Evictions | Roommate Agreement Alberta | Real Estate Investing Canada
Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

In today’s episode, Wayne and Gabby dive into two essential landlord topics that are often misunderstood: tenant evictions and roommate agreements in Alberta.

They explore what really happens when a tenant stops paying rent, especially near the end of a lease, and why “friendly” roommate setups can go sideways fast without proper documentation. Whether you're dealing with a professional tenant or renting out a room in your own home, the rules — and the risks — are very different.

Wayne also shares how the Innkeepers Act may apply in room-rental situations where the owner lives on-site, giving landlords more immediate control than the Residential Tenancies Act typically allows.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

What to do when a tenant suddenly “can’t pay” near lease-end

The difference between a roommate agreement and a residential lease

Why roommate disputes aren’t covered under Alberta’s RTA

How the Innkeepers Act can allow for immediate eviction in room-rental scenarios

How to protect yourself when renting out part of your home

Why some landlord issues should never be handled emotionally

What documentation matters when claiming damage or unpaid rent

How to set proper expectations before move-in day

This episode is a must-listen for new and experienced landlords who want to avoid messy situations and know exactly what tools the law gives them.

They also talk about recent lending rule changes, the death of offset rental income, and why lenders are quietly tightening policies across Canada. Plus, Keaton shares the power of planning ahead, why most real estate investors sabotage themselves by accident, and why the cheapest JV partner you’ll ever have is the bank.

• The 3 core financing filters: Income, Funds, and Policy
