🎧 You're Not an Investor — You're in SALES (And That's Why You're Struggling)
Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

Most investors think they're building a portfolio… but they're actually in sales. In today's episode, Wayne reveals the exact mindset shift that changed his entire real estate career — the moment he realized every investor is in sales, marketing, and persuasion whether they like it or not.

This episode will shake your perspective on what it really takes to succeed. From filling rentals without dropping rent prices to raising capital and closing deals — everything in real estate comes down to sales. Wayne and Gabby also tackle live listener questions about tenant disputes, lease defaults, and creative ways to rent your properties faster during the slow season.
