Edmonton Real Estate Market Update: More Listings, Less Competition and New Opportunities
🎧 Edmonton Real Estate Market Update: More Listings, Less Competition and New Opportunities The Edmonton real estate market is shifting—and that is creating a very different environment for buyers, sellers and real estate investors. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby are joined by Calvin Hexter of Calvin Realty for a detailed discussion about what is happening across the Edmonton market in July 2026. Inventory has climbed significantly compared with the same time last year, more properties are sitting on the market, and buyers have more options and negotiating power. At the same time, many sellers are beginning to adjust their expectations as the market moves closer to balanced conditions. The conversation also explores why July may offer a temporary window of opportunity for investors, how summer travel and weather can influence buyer activity, and why September could bring another wave of demand. Calvin also shares practical guidance on where investors should begin, why location and a clearly defined buy box matter, and how to avoid overcomplicating the real estate investing process. 🧠 What You'll Learn Why Edmonton real estate inventory has increased How the current market compares with July 2025 Why more listings create stronger negotiating opportunities What rising inventory means for buyers and sellers Why some Edmonton properties are sitting longer How summer vacations and delayed plans affect buyer activity Why July may be an attractive buying window Why demand could return more aggressively in September How seller expectations and buyer expectations are separating Why investors should make offers based on their required numbers How seller financing and rent-to-own structures may bridge pricing gaps Why location should come before strategy How to identify the right Edmonton neighbourhoods for your goals Why investors need a clear buy box How overcomplicating the process leads to poor decisions Why the fundamentals still matter most in real estate investing 👤 About Today's Guest Calvin Hexter is an Edmonton investor-focused Realtor and the founder of Calvin Realty.

The Tenant Screening System Every Landlord Needs
🎧 The Tenant Screening System Every Landlord Needs A strong tenant screening process can protect your rental income, reduce turnover, prevent unnecessary damage, and make owning rental properties far less stressful. In today's episode, Wayne and Gabby break down the system they use to evaluate tenant applications before handing over the keys. They explain why a great first impression is not enough, how a recent applicant misrepresented their income, and which details landlords should verify before approving someone for a rental property. You'll learn how to review rental applications, confirm employment and income, assess affordability, interpret credit reports, contact landlord references, verify legal identification, and identify inconsistencies that may signal additional risk. The goal is not to find a "perfect" tenant. It is to gather enough reliable information to make a responsible and consistent decision that protects both the landlord and the applicant. 🧠 What You'll Learn Why tenant screening starts with a detailed rental application What information landlords should collect from applicants How to verify employment, income and recent pay stubs Why stated income should never be accepted without confirmation How to determine whether the rent is realistically affordable Why the full credit report matters more than the credit score alone What collections, late payments and repeated credit inquiries may reveal How to ask better questions when contacting landlord references Why landlords should confirm an applicant's legal identity How online and social media searches may uncover additional information Why no tenant screening service can completely eliminate risk How strong systems can make rental property management more passive 👥 About Your Hosts Wayne and Gabby Hillier are Canadian real estate investors, entrepreneurs and real estate investing coaches based in Edmonton, Alberta. Together, they have built and self-managed a growing rental property portfolio while creating systems that allow them to operate their business remotely.

Adding $3,000+ In Monthly Cash Flow To Our Portfolio In Just 6 Months
🎧 Adding $3,000+ In Monthly Cash Flow To Our Portfolio In Just 6 Months How Wayne and Gabby used affordable Edmonton townhouses, strong systems and strategic partnerships to add significant monthly cash flow to their portfolio. Over the last six months, Wayne and Gabby added five more rental properties to their portfolio. Together, those properties now produce more than $3,000 per month in additional cash flow. In today's episode, they explain how they found these opportunities, why they continue buying Edmonton townhouses and how they were able to keep growing their portfolio without relying only on their own savings or mortgage qualification. These were not complicated development projects or secret off-market deals. They were affordable residential properties that were publicly available and purchased using traditional financing. The difference was understanding the market, recognizing overlooked opportunities and knowing how to properly evaluate townhouse condominium corporations. Wayne explains why many investors immediately reject properties with condominium fees. Condo fees are not automatically good or bad. The more important questions involve: How the condominium corporation is managed The strength of the reserve fund The condition of major components Upcoming repair and replacement schedules Whether the current fees are sustainable Whether the complex has a history of special assessments Whether owners and tenants show pride in the property A condominium complex with higher fees today may still be in a stronger long-term financial position than one with artificially low fees and an underfunded reserve. Understanding how to review condo documents can help investors avoid bad properties while identifying opportunities that other buyers overlook. Wayne and Gabby also explain why townhouse rentals can be attractive from a management perspective. Many families want: Multiple bedrooms More privacy A small yard Their own entrance No neighbours above or below them Access to schools and family-friendly neighbourhoods Properties that tenants genuinely want can be easier to rent, encourage longer tenancies and reduce turnover. The episode also discusses why affordable properties can be powerful investments. A lower purchase price can mean: A smaller down payment Easier mortgage qualification A lower barrier to entry Stronger cash flow relative to the investment More opportunities to diversify across multiple properties Wayne explains that one of the biggest advantages of Edmonton townhouses is that they remain accessible to everyday Canadian investors. Not every investor has hundreds of thousands of dollars available for a major development project or large multifamily acquisition. Affordable residential properties can allow more Canadians to begin building wealth without waiting years to save a massive amount of capital. The episode then addresses one of the biggest challenges investors face when trying to scale. Most people cannot continue saving enough money to purchase multiple properties on their own. Even investors with strong incomes may eventually reach limits on the number of residential mortgages they can qualify for. Wayne explains that partnerships can help solve both problems. A real estate expert may contribute: Deal sourcing Market knowledge Negotiation Property analysis Financing strategy Due diligence Tenant placement Property-management systems Long-term portfolio planning A capital partner may contribute: Down payment funds Closing costs Mortgage qualification Financial strength Together, the partners may be able to purchase properties that neither person would have pursued alone. Wayne and Gabby explain that partnerships played a major role in growing their own portfolio. They began by using personal savings, explored creative financing strategies and later began working with partners who had capital and mortgage qualification but lacked the time, experience or confidence to invest independently. Cash flow is also discussed as a risk-management tool. Wayne and Gabby do not treat rental cash flow as spending money. They allow it to accumulate inside reserve accounts so their portfolio can withstand unexpected events such as: Vacancies Appliance replacements Property repairs Insurance deductibles Tenant turnover Weather-related damage Major maintenance expenses This became especially important after Edmonton experienced significant rainfall and flooding that affected several properties and delayed construction at one of their garden suite developments. Strong cash flow does not prevent every problem. It gives investors the financial capacity to handle problems without immediately contributing more personal money or being forced to sell. The goal is not simply to own a large amount of real estate. The goal is to build a portfolio that can remain profitable and sustainable for 15 to 20 years or longer. Wayne also explains why investors should avoid chasing fast income from rental properties. The cash flow generated today is designed to protect the portfolio and support long-term wealth creation. Over time, investors may benefit from: Growing rents Mortgage principal reduction Property appreciation Stronger reserve accounts Increased equity Greater financial flexibility The investment needs time to work. Strong cash flow gives it that time. 🧠 What You'll Learn How Wayne and Gabby added more than $3,000 in monthly cash flow Why Edmonton townhouses are currently attractive investments Why publicly listed properties can still produce strong returns Why affordable properties lower the barrier to entry Why townhouse rentals appeal to families How tenant demand affects vacancy and turnover Why condo fees should not automatically scare investors How to evaluate a condominium corporation Why reserve fund studies matter How replacement schedules affect future condo fees Why higher condo fees are not always a bad sign How to identify strong and weak condominium complexes Why not all townhouses are equal How cash flow reduces portfolio risk Why rental cash flow belongs in a reserve account How reserve funds protect investors during unexpected events Why Wayne and Gabby do not live from rental-property cash flow Why long-term investing requires patience How to build a portfolio designed to last Why saving alone is not an effective scaling strategy How partnerships solve the capital problem How partners can help solve mortgage-qualification limits What a real estate expert contributes to a partnership What a capital partner may contribute How Wayne and Gabby used partnerships to grow their portfolio Why commercial financing is not always the best solution Why residential properties may offer stronger financing terms Why strong deals can still be ruined by poor due diligence How systems reduce expenses and management demands Why affordable rental properties remain accessible to ordinary Canadians 👥 About Your Hosts Wayne & Gabby Hillier are Canadian real estate investors, entrepreneurs and real estate investing coaches based in Edmonton, Alberta.

How To Organize Bank Accounts For A Growing Rental Portfolio
What happens when your real estate portfolio starts growing and suddenly you have multiple properties, partnerships, corporations, mortgages, reserve funds, security deposits, and bank accounts to manage? That is one of the major topics Wayne and Gabby break down in today's episode. They explain how rental property bank accounts can be organized, when multiple properties can share one account, when separate accounts are necessary, and why the ownership structure matters more than the number of properties. Gabby explains that multiple properties can generally operate through the same bank account when the ownership structure is identical. For example, if you own four properties with the same joint venture partner, those properties may be managed through one account. But if another property has a different partner, corporation, or ownership structure, it should be kept separate. The bigger issue is traceability. If a property is ever reviewed, investors need to be able to show which income and expenses belong to which property. Strong bookkeeping, saved invoices, clear records, and organized bank accounts make that possible. Wayne and Gabby also discuss why opening one bank account for every individual property may sound organized but can become an absolute nightmare as a portfolio grows. Gabby shares her preference for keeping a manageable number of properties in each account while still separating accounts by ownership structure. They also discuss reserve funds, security deposits, lender requirements, multiple banking apps, corporate accounts, and why successful investors need systems before their portfolio becomes too complicated. The episode also answers a listener question about the costs involved when selling a rental property. Wayne and Gabby discuss realtor commissions, legal fees, property tax adjustments, condominium fee adjustments, utilities, lawn care, snow removal, staging, and the capital gains implications of selling an investment property. They explain that capital gains are based on the increase between the purchase price and selling price, rather than simply the amount of cash left after paying off the mortgage. They also explain why investors should plan ahead, estimate the potential tax liability, and set money aside from the sale proceeds rather than being surprised when tax season arrives. Finally, Wayne and Gabby answer a landlord question involving a tenant who accidentally broke a shower head and offered to replace it with a less expensive model. They discuss whether the tenant should replace it with the original quality, whether the landlord should accept the cheaper replacement, and why splitting the difference may be the best way to protect the property while maintaining a strong landlord-tenant relationship. This episode is a practical look at the financial and operational systems investors need as they grow from one rental property into a serious real estate portfolio. What You'll Learn in This Episode What expenses investors should expect when selling a rental property How realtor commissions are typically calculated Why GST or HST may apply to professional fees Why legal fees, staging, utilities, lawn care, and snow removal need to be considered How property taxes and condominium fees may be adjusted at closing How capital gains are generally calculated on the sale of an investment property Why capital gains are different from the cash proceeds received at closing Why investors should set aside money for taxes after selling Why refinancing may delay taxes but does not necessarily eliminate them How to respond when a tenant accidentally damages something Why tenant responsibility and communication matter Whether a tenant should replace an item with the same quality Why splitting the cost may protect a strong tenant relationship Why good tenant relationships can reduce vacancy and turnover Why investors should not get trapped in every small operational decision How Wayne and Gabby divide responsibilities inside their business Whether multiple rental properties can use the same bank account Why ownership structure determines how accounts should be separated Why joint venture partners need access to the appropriate accounts Why properties with different partners should not share accounts Why strong bookkeeping makes account management easier Why one account per property can become difficult at scale Why some lenders require mortgage payments to come from their bank How reserve funds can be pooled under the same ownership structure Why reserve funds and security deposits are not the same thing Why security deposits need to be handled separately and carefully Why corporations may require their own security deposit accounts Why successful investors need banking and bookkeeping systems before they scale Upcoming Events Edmonton Garden Suites 101 July 24, 2026 Edmonton, Alberta www.reimasters.ca REI Masters Edmonton Real Estate Investing Bus Tour August 22, 2026 www.reimasters.ca/edmontonbustour About Your Hosts Wayne & Gabby Hillier are full-time real estate investors and real estate investing coaches based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Should Landlords Allow Pets In Rental Properties
Should landlords allow pets in rental properties? That is the question Wayne and Gabby tackle in today's episode. Pets are a huge part of people's lives. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, reptiles, and other animals are not just "extras" for many tenants. They are part of the family. But for landlords and real estate investors, pets also create real concerns. What if the dog damages the floors? What if the cat scratches the walls? What if the yard gets destroyed? What if the smell becomes a problem? What if the tenant moves out and the security deposit is not enough to cover the damage? In this episode, Wayne and Gabby break down the real risks of allowing pets in rental properties and explain why they still believe landlords should strongly consider being pet friendly. Gabby explains why a large portion of rental applicants have pets and why saying "no pets" can dramatically reduce your tenant pool. If most tenants are applying with a pet, then refusing pets may leave you with fewer applicants, fewer good options, and a harder time filling vacancies. Wayne and Gabby also discuss the difference between pet damage and increased wear and tear. A pet chewing carpet, scratching walls, or damaging doors may be considered damage. But a dog running up and down the stairs, wearing down carpet faster, creating lawn spots, or adding more hair into the furnace and duct system may create long-term wear and tear that landlords need to plan for. They also explain the difference between pet deposits, pet fees, and monthly pet rent. In Alberta, landlords cannot collect a security deposit higher than one month's rent, even if they try to call the extra amount a pet deposit. However, landlords can structure pet fees or monthly pet rent to help account for the increased wear and tear that pets may create. Wayne and Gabby also talk about why tenant screening matters more than the pet itself. The real question is not only, "What kind of pet do they have?" The better question is, "Is this tenant a responsible pet owner?" A strong tenant who takes responsibility for their pet, communicates well, has good references, and respects the property is much lower risk than a tenant who avoids responsibility, ignores problems, or does not take care of the home. They also discuss condos, bylaws, dog breed restrictions, pet size restrictions, and why investors need to review condominium documents carefully before promising a tenant that their pet will be approved. If you own rental properties or are buying your first one, this episode will help you understand how to think about pets, pet fees, pet risk, inspections, tenant screening, and why being pet friendly may actually help your rental property business. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why pets are such an important part of many tenants' lives Why landlords are often nervous about allowing pets Why saying "no pets" can reduce your tenant pool Why Wayne and Gabby generally recommend considering pet-friendly rentals Why cats and dogs create different types of risk Why dogs may create more wear and tear on flooring and yards Why cats can create odor and scratching concerns Why yard damage from dogs can be expensive and difficult to fix Why pet damage and normal wear and tear are not the same thing Why landlords need to plan for increased replacement costs Why pets can shorten the lifespan of carpet, flooring, and other finishes Why furnace filters, ducts, and HVAC systems may need more attention with pets Why quarterly inspections are important when allowing pets Why tenant screening matters more than the pet itself Why responsible pet owners are lower-risk tenants Why pet fees and pet rent can help offset increased wear and tear Why Alberta landlords need to understand the rules around security deposits Why "pet deposit" language can create problems Why condo bylaws may restrict pets, breeds, size, or number of animals Why investors need to review condo documents before approving pets Why pet-friendly properties can stand out in a competitive rental market Why the best landlords build systems instead of avoiding risk completely Upcoming Events Edmonton Garden Suites 101 July 24, 2026 Edmonton, Alberta www.reimasters.ca REI Masters Edmonton Real Estate Investing Bus Tour August 22, 2026 www.reimasters.ca/edmontonbustour About Your Hosts Wayne & Gabby Hillier are full-time real estate investors and real estate investing coaches based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Are Negative People Stopping You From Investing In Real Estate?
Today's episode takes a different direction. Instead of talking about where to buy, what to buy, cash flow, financing, rent, tenants, or market trends, Wayne and Gabby talk about something that stops many people before they ever buy their first rental property. Negative people. Fearful people. Family members. Friends. Co-workers. People who mean well, but still fill your head with doubt. In this episode, Wayne and Gabby talk about why so many people want to invest in real estate, learn the strategy, understand the numbers, and still never take action. Sometimes the problem is not money. Sometimes the problem is not mortgages. Sometimes the problem is not a lack of good deals. Sometimes the real problem is the people around you. Wayne shares what he has seen after working with well over 1,000 real estate investors across Canada. Many smart, capable people stop moving forward because they are afraid of what other people will think, what other people will say, or how family and friends will judge them. Gabby explains how negative people rarely stop your success directly. Instead, they stop it indirectly by creating doubt, hesitation, fear, and inaction. Wayne and Gabby also share personal stories about starting out, dealing with unsupportive people, moving across the country, building confidence, and learning how to protect your goals from other people's fears. They discuss why some people criticize because they are jealous, why others criticize because they are scared for you, and why some people simply project their own limitations onto your future. The message is simple: you cannot build a better life while allowing people who are stuck, fearful, jealous, or unsupportive to control your decisions. Sometimes you need to limit exposure. Sometimes you need to set boundaries. Sometimes you need to stop discussing your goals with certain people. And sometimes, when someone is actively trying to hold you back, you may need to create distance or cut them out altogether. Wayne and Gabby also talk about the importance of finding a new circle of supportive people who understand what you are trying to build. Whether that is through mentorship, community, networking, or surrounding yourself with people who are also taking action, the right environment can help you keep going when your old environment tries to pull you back. This episode is for anyone who knows they want more from life but feels stuck because of the people around them. If you are waiting for everyone to understand you, agree with you, support you, or cheer for you before you start, you may never start. At some point, you have to decide whose life you are building. Theirs or yours. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why today's episode is not about real estate strategy, but about why people do not take action Why negative people can stop investors before they ever buy a property Why fear of judgment holds so many people back Why friends, family, co-workers, and relatives can affect your confidence Why some people criticize because they are jealous Why some people criticize because they are projecting their own fears Why even well-meaning family members can create doubt Why negative people rarely stop success directly How doubt, hesitation, fear, and inaction slowly build over time Why Wayne moved across the country to create a fresh start Why Gabby struggled with fear early in their investing journey Why people often bring up worst-case scenarios when you share your goals Why you need to be careful who you share your plans with Why not everyone deserves access to your dreams Why setting boundaries matters Why limiting exposure to negative people may be necessary Why some people need to be cut out if they actively resent your growth Why creating a new circle of supportive people is so important Why community can help investors stay confident and take action Why the REI Masters community is intentionally built around supportive people Why your environment can either pull you forward or hold you back Why you cannot wait for everyone else to believe in your future Why you need to take ownership of your own life and decisions Upcoming Events Edmonton Garden Suites 101 July 24, 2026 Edmonton, Alberta www.reimasters.ca REI Masters Edmonton Real Estate Investing Bus Tour August 22, 2026 www.reimasters.ca/edmontonbustour About Your Hosts Wayne & Gabby Hillier are full-time real estate investors and real estate investing coaches based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
