🎧 Celebrating Wins, Avoiding Landmines & Why Small Victories Matter More Than You Think

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

Today's episode is a perfect mix of big wins, real-life landlord challenges, JV mindset coaching, and one of the wildest tenant-screening stories of all time.
Between late-rent RTDRS orders, meth found in alleys, creative deal stacking, new properties purchased, and a Facebook group called "Don't Date Him Edmonton"… this episode has it all.

And at the core of it?
A powerful message: celebrate your small wins — they're what keep you in the game long enough to experience the big ones.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode

• Why celebrating every win (even tiny ones) keeps you in the game

• How students are stacking wins: flips, RTO deals, JVs, new acquisitions

• The truth about finding JV partners when you feel like you're hearing nothing but "no"

• How conditional RTDRS eviction orders work — and what they don't do

• What to document when neighbors report drugs, domestic disturbances, and police visits

• A wild real-life tenant-screening story that proves why you always Google applicants

• How to avoid inheriting other people's drama as a landlord

• Why mindset matters more than knowledge in real estate success
