    Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

    In today’s episode, Wayne Hillier dives headfirst into one of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — planning movements in Canada: the “Missing Middle.” He lays out a raw, honest breakdown of what’s really happening behind the initiative to densify cities, and how investors may be unknowingly digging their own graves by following the herd.

    This isn’t a rant — it’s a much-needed wake-up call.

    Are we building more homes, or just more rentals? Are we solving the housing crisis — or shifting it? Wayne and Gabby walk through the origins, intentions, and unintended consequences of the missing middle movement, especially in cities like Edmonton that are leading the charge.

    • What the Missing Middle actually means

    • How the initiative started and evolved

    • Why investors are racing to infill mature neighbourhoods

    • The difference between building more units and building more homes

    • Whether the current direction is sustainable — or a ticking time bomb

    • The long-term impact on rental markets and homeownership

    • Why Wayne believes many investors are blindly following the wrong path

    May 15 2025

    🎧 5 Creative Ways to Get the Down Payment for Your Next Rental Property in Canada
    Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

    How are investors buying properties with little—or even none—of their own money? In today’s episode, Wayne and Gabby break down five creative strategies Canadian investors are using to secure down payments and keep growing.

    From using HELOCs and joint ventures to more advanced methods like seller financing and RRSP mortgages, this episode is packed with tools to help you move forward—whether you're buying your first rental or your fifth.

    They also take a moment to discuss a key landlord tip: how to handle early lease termination. Whether it’s a tenant wanting to leave early or a situation where you might want to end a tenancy, knowing your rights and the right process is critical.

    🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why saving for a down payment isn’t realistic for most Canadians

    • How a HELOC can unlock hidden capital in your home

    • What seller financing actually looks like (and why it changed Wayne & Gabby’s business)

    • How RRSP mortgages work and who they’re best suited for

    • Why JVs are the safest, smartest way to scale your portfolio

    • The key steps (and landlord mindset) around early lease termination

    May 14 2025

    🎧 Fix & Flip Financing: Understanding Private Mortgage Fees | Real Estate Investing Canada | Alberta
    Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

    In today’s episode, Wayne and Gabby are joined by Ryan Day from Calvert Home Mortgage to unpack how private lending works for BRRRRs and fix & flips in Canada — and what most investors miss when it comes to fees and hidden costs.

    They dive deep into what private lenders actually look for, what it really costs to borrow short-term money, and how to protect yourself from expensive mistakes. Whether you're brand new or ready to scale, this episode gives you the behind-the-scenes education most flippers never get.

    The episode also includes an important discussion about Alberta’s booming real estate market, why young workers from across Canada are flocking to Alberta, and how interprovincial migration is impacting rental demand, construction needs, and long-term investor strategy.

    🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

    • What Calvert looks for when approving fix & flip loans
    • A breakdown of private lending costs (and what to watch for)
    • What hidden fees other lenders charge that you may not notice
    • How to qualify for private financing — even if it’s your first deal
    • The tool every Canadian flipper should be using (Flip Analyzer)
    • Why Alberta is attracting the most young workers in the country
    • What it means for rental demand and real estate values in 2025
    • Why education and mentorship make you a stronger borrower

    Fix & flips are one of the riskiest strategies in real estate — but with the right plan, the right lender, and the right team, they can be one of the most profitable too.
