🎧 How to Winterize Your Rental Properties (and Avoid Costly Repairs This Winter)
Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

As the temperatures drop, Wayne and Gabby walk you through everything you need to do to winterize your rental properties before costly surprises hit. From draining outdoor lines to scheduling furnace maintenance, this episode breaks down the essential seasonal checklist every landlord needs to protect their investment.

They also answer a listener’s question about joint ventures — specifically, how to respond when a money partner asks, “Why should I invest with you instead of just buying my own property and hiring a property manager?” Wayne delivers a powerful coaching moment on confidence, trust, and the emotional side of selling yourself as an investor.
