Is It Too Late to Start Investing at 63? + Toronto's New Rental Renovation License Bylaw | Real Estate Investing Canada

🎧 Is It Too Late to Start Investing at 63? + Toronto's New Rental Renovation License Bylaw Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier Today's episode dives into two big conversations that matter for Canadian real estate investors. First, we answer a listener's powerful question: "Am I too late to start investing at 63?" We break down the math, the risks, and the realities of starting later in life — plus strategies to safely supplement retirement using rental properties. Then, we turn our attention to Toronto's brand-new Rental Renovation License Bylaw. This sweeping regulation is aimed at stopping renovictions, but it places major costs, restrictions, and penalties on landlords. We unpack what the bylaw means, the rights it gives tenants, and why Ontario remains one of the most difficult provinces for landlords. 🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode Whether it's realistic to start building a rental portfolio in your 60s How cash flow, equity, and timelines affect retirement-focused investing Why four rental properties may or may not be enough for retirement income The difference between mentorship vs. coaching when it comes to investing support Why Ontario's new bylaw penalizes good landlords along with bad ones What the $700 per-unit license, tenant rights, and penalties mean for Toronto investors The long-term risks of investing in provinces that don't support landlords Why Alberta continues to be the most landlord-friendly market in Canada 👥 About Your Hosts Wayne & Gabby Hillier are full-time real estate investors and coaches based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
