🎧 Should You Buy a Starter Condo in Edmonton?
Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

Sometimes the biggest thing holding you back from buying your next property is a problem you haven’t said out loud yet. In today’s episode, Wayne and Gabby open the floor to listener questions and work through the real barriers stopping investors from taking action. From risk management and cash flow stress testing to the pitfalls of bachelor condos, they share actionable strategies to help you buy the right property for the long term.

They also unpack a big question from Calgary — can you run a successful fix & flip in another city? You’ll hear their real-world systems for managing renovations remotely, the risks most investors overlook, and the kind of local support you must have in place before you start swinging hammers from afar.

Plus, Wayne recaps one of the most jam-packed REI Masters coaching calls ever — covering everything from evictions to joint ventures, infinite banking, private lending, wholesaling, and more.
