The Edmonton real estate market is shifting, and smart investors need to pay attention.
In this episode, Wayne and Gabby start by answering a listener question about how they handle late rent in their rental property business.
They explain their on-time rental discount system, why they use it instead of relying only on late rent fees, how it helps tenants take rent payment seriously, and why it can be a strong tool for landlords who want to reduce late payments and protect their systems.
Wayne and Gabby also discuss why lease clauses need to balance protection with simplicity, especially in a market where vacancy is rising and landlords need to make the tenant onboarding process as smooth as possible.
Later in the episode, investor-focused Edmonton Realtor Calvin Hexter joins the show for a real estate market update.
Calvin breaks down what he is seeing in Edmonton right now, including longer days on market, sellers who are not getting the prices they expected, buyers gaining more leverage, and why some properties are still receiving multiple offers while others are sitting.
Wayne and Calvin also discuss why seller financing may become more attractive in this market, why investors need to stay conservative with their numbers, and why the right power team can help investors identify opportunities before everyone else sees them.
They also talk about Edmonton garden suites, the importance of knowing your buy box, and why investors who understand the market can make money in any market cycle.
If you are a landlord, rental property investor, or someone watching the Edmonton real estate market closely, this episode will help you understand what is happening right now and how to adjust your strategy.
